After ten years of development and over 100 fire tests, Plumis has launched an Automatic Fire Suppression System ideal for larger multi-residential properties.
Plumis has produced an online CPD webinar explaining why the product is gaining traction in both the UK & US as a solution in buildings where water supply demands, disruption and water damage make traditional sprinklers unattractive.
Wondering why you should invest in Automist Smartscan Hydra? Automist Smartscan is quick and easy to install due to the use of flexible high-pressure hoses which don’t go through the ceiling, allowing it to be simply installed on a standard domestic water main. Plus, Automist Smartscan uses 90% less water than traditional sprinkler systems
Automist Smartscan Hydra is cost-effective for new build or retrofit, as you can now connect up to six heads to one pump.
Automist Smartscan is internationally recognised with the highest distinctions in design. Automist has met the fire performance standards outlined in BS 9252 and BS 8458. It is also covered by an LABC registered detail, EW534, allowing rapid local authority building control approval.
Automist Smartscan Hydra offers peace of mind due to its robust double knock trigger using smoke, heat and rate-of-rise in combination, meaning it is not prone to false activations. Automist can only be installed by Accredited Installers who are regularly audited and tested to ensure that high standards are maintained.
It also promises low maintenance, with annual tests of the full system operation from detection to activation being quick and simple, taking just a few minutes.
