This mist system while it is great for spreading the word about sprinkler systems in general, ultimately, I believe, is going to give the wrong message. While many people have worked long hours to finally get the home fire sprinkler inative going this is going to confuse the lot of them and add to distrust, skeptism and plain wrong conclusions. For anyone to tout that a N2 tank and related equip. has NO need of service, inspection for 10 - 20 years is blatantly wrong. The meth heads are gonna love these systems....oh yeah seems to me that just containing such an arsenal moves the hazard level beyond the scope of an maint. free system an into a whole different realm.
