In a fire sprinkler system, or a dry- or set-riser system, testing for leaks and for checking system’s ability to perform …

In a world of ever-increasing prices, we’re sure that our customers will be happy to receive this breath of fresh air. With immediate effect, we are able to reduce prices across the range of our PDVs (Priority Demand Valves)! How can we do this? Well, there are two main reasons – firstly, our ongoing successful growth in this area since …

Since we first launched our DRTP following a customer request, over 3 years ago, it has been growing in popularity in the UK, and we’ve even sold some overseas. The main reasons for its growing popularity – as given to us by real-life users in the field – are: It’s cleaner, greener and so much quieter than petrol/diesel machines; Powering …

As most of our customers will know, we are a preferred distributor for Grundfos FireSAFE+ domestic and residential booster pump sets.
