Conserving Water During Fire Testing

摘要

Recommendations for water conservation in the maintenance of fire protection systems have been made in the new Handbook from Standards Australia. If adopted, millions of litres of water currently used would be saved annually.rnJohn Tucker, CEO of Standards Australia said: "Regular maintenance of fire protection systems is critical in ensuring equipment will perform reliably in the event of a fire, but there are safe and responsible measures building owners and others can take to reduce the amount of water used during testing."rnThe HB233 - 2008 Fire Protection Systems Testing - Water Conservation Handbook provides building owners, consultants and system designers with recommendations for ways to reduce, reuse or recycle water used to test automatic fire sprinkler systems, hydrants, pumps and hose reels.
