Question :Why do we need Fire Extinguisher Balls if we already have other firefighting equipment?
Answer : The Fire Extinguisher Balls are by far the easier and most natural, logical and simple-to-use way of attacking most fires, simply throw it in the fire and retreat.
Auto Fire Extinguisher Ball Vs Fire Sprinkler System
In most settings, fire sprinkler systems are an almost perfect means of defense against fire. However, the water released by the sprinklers can cause substantial damage—almost as much as a fire itself. For certain applications, such as electrical rooms and rooms with sensitive or fragile equipment, the risk of water damage is too great. In these cases, automatic fire extinguishers using dry chemical agents are much better suited.
Safety
No need to come close to the fire & no need to face dangerous flames and gases at close distances.
Self-activation
The device self-activates without human intervention, unlike a fire blanket or fire extinguisher. You don’t even have to be present when a fire starts
Easy Mounting Options
Different mounting alternatives with the holders on horizontal or vertical surfaces. Tabletop, ceiling or wall mount with provided brackets. More aesthetics than the tank-type pressurized extinguishers
No false alarm
The device needs to be touched by flame in order to activate therefore no false alarms, or tampering.
Affordability
The auto fire ball is reasonably priced at almost half the price of the conventional fire extinguishing equipment without the cost associated to frequent inspection & maintenance or training.
Maintenance and Service
The auto fire extinguisher ball has a lifespan of 5 years and includes a 2-year warranty compared to the normal fire extinguisher that requires service and maintenance every 6 months, thus saving unnecessary costs and trouble of scheduling frequent service. No inspection required.
Training and Ease of Use
Most fire extinguishers are heavy and require training and knowledge in using the equipment which may be confusing during an emergency. When a fire erupts, take the nearest available Fire Extinguishing Ball and simply throw it into the fire. The ball will naturally fall into the base of the flame, where it is most needed, and activate within 3 seconds. No need to pull pins, or to get close to the fire.
No special training or skills required. In addition the ball is light and only weighs only 1.3Kg so can be used even by a child or elderly, no pins, and no moving or mechanical parts.
Reliability
Having an unreliable fire suppression system is almost the same as not having a fire suppression system at all.
