EconAqua Low Pressure Water Mist System

EconAqua low pressure water mist system

EconAqua is our low pressure water mist system for protecting commercial buildings such as hotels, offices and car parks. It is very similar to a sprinkler system but uses up to 85% less water.

Viking’s low pressure water mist technology combines the benefits of sprinkler protection with those of the water- and space-saving aspects of low pressure water mist systems.

Smaller water supply (tank, pump & piping)
Lower electricity demands (pump)
Lower water discharge
Simple design – same as a sprinkler system
Same robust and dependable sprinkler technology

Benefits over high pressure water mist solutions

EconAqua low pressure water mist systems compared to high pressure water mist systems

An EconAqua low pressure system requires the same amount of water as a similar approved high pressure alternative
Pump drivers require lower electrical loads
Concealed heads available with colour options (especially useful for offices, hotels & hospitals)
Dry systems available for un-heated zones (which can be found in hotels & car parks)
No risk of high pressure components failing within public areas such as hotels, above work areas in offices or above parked vehicles in car parks
Same potable water supply can be used as with the incoming water services
No need for expensive stainless steel pipework and fittings
Pipework generally pressurized under 16 bar, not 100+ bar
