Water fire extinguishers should be used on Class A fires (solids like wood, paper, textiles)

An ECO water fire extinguisher is a water fire extinguisher that uses only water as an extinguishing agent, making it PFAS free and environmentally-friendly.

The primary on an ECO water extinguisher are red, but most will have green colouring to highlight it's environmentally-friendly properties.

Water fire extinguishers are commonly found in schools, hospitals, office buildings, apartments, shops, paper mills, storage units, textile factories and general warehouses.

All our portable fire extinguishers are supplied ready for use, but those with larger capacities may need to be filled and charged prior to the first time they’re used. The product listing will explain this clearly.

CO2 fire extinguishers combat Class B fires involving flammable liquids such as solvents, paraffin, petrol, diesel or oil. They also tackle electrical fires, such as those caused by large computer equipment, meaning that CO2 fire extinguishers are more common in office spaces, computer rooms, schools and server areas too.

The canister has a red body, a black banner running along the top section labelling it CO2, and a horn-shaped nozzle. White capitalised text is used for the CO2 label.

CO2 (carbon dioxide) fire extinguishers can be typically found in offices, shops, schools, hospitals, technology stores, server rooms and computer rooms.

A CO2 fire extinguisher needs to be refilled every 10 years. If you discharge the fire extinguisher before it's due a refill, then you can have it refilled by a professional.
