• Class B: do not use on flammable liquids or gases (class B).

• Class D: do not use on combustible metals (class D).

• Freezing: as the agent is water-based, protect the extinguisher from freezing (minimum temperature 4.4°C).

Extinguisher maintenance and inspection

An extinguisher only protects you if it is kept in good condition. Regular maintenance ensures it will work the day you need it.

• Monthly visual inspection: check the pressure (gauge in the green zone), the pin, the seal and that the stainless-steel cylinder is free of corrosion or damage.

• Annual servicing: have the extinguisher inspected yearly by a certified technician, per the applicable standard (NFPA 10 / local regulations).

• Recharge: any extinguisher that has been used, even partially, must be recharged immediately by a qualified shop.

• Hydrostatic test: the cylinder must undergo periodic pressure testing per the standard.

• Freeze protection: store the extinguisher away from freezing to preserve the water-based agent.

FAQ about the demineralized-water extinguisher

What does the ULC 2AC rating mean?

The "2A" indicates the extinguishing capacity on solid-material fires (class A) and the "C" confirms it can be used around energized electrical equipment, as the agent is non-conductive (UL 711 tested).

What fires can I use it on?

On class A fires (wood, paper, fabric) and energized electrical equipment (class C). Do not use on flammable liquids (class B) or combustible metals (class D).

Why demineralized water?

Demineralized water is very low in conductivity, allowing use on electrical equipment while limiting residue and corrosion. Still, protect the unit from freezing.
