2. NFPA 25 -
The standard for testing Water Based Fire Protections systems
Sprinkler flow switches should be tested on a quarterly basis.

3. Non-compliant testing
These tests have been ignored for a variety of reasons:
Too labor intensive
Difficulty with access
Coordination with alarms/fire services
System downtime
Not able to flow due to chemicals in system
Zonecheck eliminates all the excuses…

4. Zonecheck Testing -
Without the need to discharge water!

Environmentally friendly and LEED certified buildings
A conventional Flow Switch test requires approx 100 gallons of water to be flowing either outside, or down the drain
Testing quarterly per NFPA would mean 400 gallons annually per flow switch test
In a 50 story building, this equals 20,000 gallons of water
