A bushfire protection system that automatically drenches danger areas of house exteriors when life and property are under threat is being introduced by CalAir.
The Fire-Pro EWSS (external water spray system) - activated by low-voltage heat detectors as temperatures rise to danger levels - is designed as a safe and practical alternative to last-resort measures such as people standing on roofs with garden hoses as fires approach.
The company says Fire-Pro is Australia's first professionally designed and manufactured bushfire protection system for new and existing houses, featuring unobtrusive built-in installation with all major pipe system components in the roof space.
Low-profile Roof Mist and Eave Drencher spray nozzles, especially designed for weathertight installation, provide blanket coverage of external areas posing greatest risk, including RM1 nozzles for protection of flying embers on roofs and gutters and ED1 nozzles for protection of windows and doors.
Drawing water from either swimming pools or dedicated tanks, the system comes complete with pipe and pipe fittings, hose assemblies, spray nozzles, valves, heat detectors and with pumping equipment from Davey.
The system automatically shuts down when temperatures drop below danger level and is designed for DIY installation or by CalAir.
The pipe system's ring main is installed within the roof cavity without specialist tools.
