    Default M_C's got a new toy ;)

    I've been chewing over automatic fire extinguishers for a couple of year now... and, at the right price, took the plunge



    If it ever discharges then I know it'll make a hell of a (self contained) mess of the grow room & probably kill the plants too (I've seen dry powder discharges before...!), but it's better than coming home to a fire engine outside a smoldering house

    I really fancied the Halon one, but at four times the price, I couldn't justify it

    It's Ebay item No 272468837046 - £26.49 delivered & is good for a one cubic meter area (My grow room works out at 1.05792 M3) There are, of course, other sizes available...

    If it ever discharges then it was worth its weight in gold! Not sure about wanting to smoke the plants after

    I have one of these in the room but it's about six years old . Took it out a old transformer room . It's about time I replaced it . But when building the room I built it out of fireproof materials . Better safe than sorry

    DP coats the surface and interferes with the chemical reaction of fire so I woulds suggest if its automatic, positioning it where its going to direct at , ie the ignition source (electrical) If one is used, wear a good dusk mask to clean up, it will also probably draw into the filter system a little too!!

    If it ever discharges then I will be replacing everything in the grow room!

    I've thought about the positioning & think that as long as it has a clear line of sight to the floor then every thing will get covered with the agent. My aim is to have it pretty much at the top of the room where positioning shouldn't be such an issue as it will discharge down a 56cmx76cm space - Should amply do the job
