2018 Brochure

Jenni RoseLatest News Leave a Comment

Before 2015, our so-called ‘marketing’ was a website full of dubious photos and out-of-date information, and a paper loose-leaf binder replicating this. In 2015 we invested a huge amount of time and money to bring this up to date and launched our first proper brochure – it’s not a full catalogue of our complete range of products and options, as …

ZONE GUARDIAN flow switch test update Feb 2018

Jenni RoseLatest News 1 Comment

Although a massively important and exciting product to us, we were almost getting fed up of listening to ourselves harping on about ZONE GUARDIAN, so we left it alone for a few months to be able to share some of our other news. This month, we thought we’d share just a few snippets of information, along an Olympic theme… Faster …

Bad Vibrations Part 2: Compressor vibration control

Jenni RoseLatest News Leave a Comment

As reported some time ago we cannot over-stress the importance of installing compressors to a solid wall or floor with strong and suitable fixings – our Operating & Maintenance instructions labour the point, advising that all four holes should be used with strong and tight M10 bolts. It’s strange how things seem to arise in batches, but towards the end of …

It is more than a little unfortunate, and almost certainly not unrelated, that ever since the fateful day of the Brexit vote we have been beset by cost increases from our suppliers. With only one or two exceptions, we have been on the wrong end of increases ranging from 7-8% up to as much as 15% – and in several …

Jenni RoseLatest News Leave a Comment

Further to our focus last month on the ZONE GUARDIAN pump, and its advantages, we thought this month that we’d have a closer look at our flow switch test module… Similarly to the legacy product, our Test Module is a keyswitch-operated control box which activates the circulating pump to which it’s connected (or, in the case of interconnected units, several …

This year’s British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association AGM & dinner was held in the vibrant and developing city of Liverpool, at the (sprinkler fitted, of course) Marriott Hotel in the city centre. After an hour or so for colleagues to catch up with a coffee, the formal proceedings of the AGM got under way. BAFSA Chairman, John McCann’s commentary focused …

We are well aware that we regularly ‘bang on’ about service, but we genuinely feel that you can have the best products in the world (we wouldn’t be so bold…) but without the advice and service to back it up – including when things occasionally go wrong – then there’s no point. Of course, most companies claim that they have great service …
