Brands That Trust Shutgun
Managing a business or property means anticipating disasters before they happen. Some of the largest and most well-known brands in the world purchased Shutgun products to secure their fire suppression sprinklers and to avoid expensive water damage to their properties.
A Single Sprinkler Releases More Than a Bathtub Full of Water Every Minute
Fire sprinklers save buildings and save lives. An unfortunate side effect can be the resulting water damage. A single fire sprinkler will release 60 gallons of water per minute, or the equivalent of a 45-gallon drum of water every 45 seconds. One sprinkler head could fill your bathtub in less than a minute. It takes a fire department an average of 5-20 minutes to shut off your sprinkler system, releasing as much as 1200 gallons of water per activated head!
For every minute a sprinkler head is activated, it can cost an average of $2,000 in water damage. If your building has expensive equipment or electronics nearby, it can cost significantly more.
90% Of Sprinkler Activations Are Accidental
Did you know that most sprinkler activations are not triggered by a fire? Most sprinkler heads have a glass vial filled with liquid that holds a plug that seals off the water. When the liquid is heated it expands and breaks the vial releasing the water. This vial though strong can be easily broken when bumped or stressed. Bumping a sprinkler head during a renovation or move, children accidentally hitting a sprinkler with a toy, or even just hanging clothing from a sprinkler can mean disaster.
