Hello Forum, I am wondering if anyone has specific references (texts) indicating the disadvantages of large anti-freeze fire protection systems. I have knowledge of contractors frequently installing large 13, and 13R AF systems (100-500+) gallons, I would like to encourage them to look at other alternatives.
I find the servicing costs generally are not well communicated to end users in the bidding process. I also find numerous maintenance issues associated with these systems, forgetting the fact that the fluids have greater viscosities and are combustible and add fuel to the fire. (I would wish NFPA 13 would reverse itself on this issue - and go back to the pre-2002 days...)
