If I was paying for the refill should it accidentally go off As Inergens a Tyco product only you guys will get near 99% but their are other clean agent systems out there too B) I've had shall ewe say "clenched" moments with Ansul wet chemical systems in kitchens, unlike Inergen it makes a proper mess C.

esp-protocol Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I dumped a CO2 system once, that is even more embarrasing than a high pressure system as it took about 5 minutes to discharge.... all you can do is stand and listen.....! I witnessed a nitrogen foam system dump in the medway tunnel years ago..... that was funny watching the foam spew up from the sump below all over the road.
