Yes, live in Australia, but in Houston at the moment (installing a new system).
I don't disagree that they aren't good and indeed the removal from the market has led to lots of other technologies. As indicated earlier, our next room will use this http://www.victaulic.com/en/businesses-solutions/solutions/hybrid-fire-suppression-technology/ which looks pretty cool and doesn't need a pressure rated room. Which, makes it much easier to get fibre/cables out of the room. On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 1:39 PM, Greg Lindahl <lind...@pbm.com> wrote: > You live in Australia, right?
