Living With Sprinklers is Easy

• Fire sprinklers require almost no maintenance and only work when you need them.
• Do a simple flow test about twice a year or have your sprinkler contractor do it for you.
• Occasionally do a visual inspection of the controls and sprinklers.
• Use a padlock to keep the water valve in the ON position.
• Teach your children they are not toys and should not be played with.
• NEVER hang anything on the sprinklers, even temporarily.
• Do not paint the sprinklers. And if you hire painters, make sure they know not to paint them.
• Don’t block the sprinklers with furniture or fabrics. If the spray is blocked the sprinkler cannot put out a fire.
• Most important, DON’T WORRY. Sprinklers are not complicated.
