You missed step one: Check that the extinguisher pressure is spent. Sheesh.

Where do you get the foam ?
@alyssadonato93955 жыл бұрын
If I wanted to use this for home use or for in a car for emergencies is it required to put the foam in I know it helps put it out but will it not work without the foam?
@RRFRTraining5 жыл бұрын
It will work without foam. The foam just reduces the surface tension of water allowing more penetration of the material that is burning.

RRFR Training, can I use a little dish soap in mine since I don’t have any foam? Thanks.
@Comm0ut9 ай бұрын
Do NOT carry a water extinguisher in a vehicle UNLESS you also have another extinguisher suitable for burning vehicles (petroleum, plastic etc). Water is for Class A fires.

Would it help if I use a little dish soap because I don’t have the foam or should I stick with straight water? Thanks.

Dish soap will work. It is basically the same thing.

We use Dawn with some of our water extinguishers. It’s not an animal based solution so it’s much less likely, if at all, to begin the molding process. About 3 squirts from the dawn container and you’re golden.

the water to air ratio is how much ? for example a 2 l fire extinguisher if you fill it with 1l water you leave 1l for compressed air ? so it,'s 1 to 1 ratio ?

I dont know what your asking your only supposed to used tap water in these the extinguihser is filled with compressed air but I guess one theory is if you wanted to be able to use it on electrical fires as an example if you were an electrician and were worried about electrical fires you could fill it with distilled water and it would not conduct!!!

oooow you forget the MOST IMPORTANT step, FIRST check if it is depressurized. The stem should be inspected and cleaned each time. This is a dangerous video! Please read the Johnson Controls/Sentry manual!

Is it possible to use the compressor recharging the Breathing Apparatus to pressurize the portable fire extinguisher? or it will have possible contamination.

I do not know for sure. Most cascade systems only have fittings for SCBA bottles so it would not work without some engineering or specialty fittings. I would also be very worried about the extinguisher product backing up into the cascade line. I would highly discourage trying this, cascade systems are very expensive to buy and repair in comparison to air compressors.

BA compressor - 300 bar Water fire extinguisher -7 bar. You'll explode the extinguisher and it will be extremely dangerous.

I think what you are asking is most water extinguishers in The U.S are desgined to be refiiled by the user once used on a fire but you still should not fill a unit that is out of hydrostatic test date

Why not just leave the water tube in it and fill it up. It would pop up at the exact amount of water you need...
