Default Fire Suppression Systems

I am interested in installing one, so I thought I would poll and see who installed what systems. Why they selected the system they installed? Any comments that I should consider?

As it sit now, I am considering a FireBottle 5lbs FE-36 system.

Strat:

Give Dan List at SPA Technique (www.SPATechnique.com) a call at (317) 271-7941. He can help you determine what options to chose for a fire system. I went with their AFF system, but they have a new system which doesn't make such a mess.

Thanks, I looked at the new SPA system, but man that is a costly system. I do really like the SPA systems in general, but I really never want to clean up after a discharge with AFFF. From the sounds of AFFF, it can damage wiring insolation too.

I will give Dan a call after the new year.

I am thinking about getting the ESS system

Less expensive and easy maintain.

Look at SPA's new 3M" Novec" 1230 systems. They are a non-toxic, eco-friendly gas system to avoid the mess. Happy Motoring!

I've been very happy with the lifeline zero 360 gas based systems. Very lightweight and compact.

I have not found a US retailer for the LifeLine systems. Where do you source them?
