The Cheapest Insurance Investment You Can Make...

It's an amazing thing... Two of the most dangerous things imaginable: High-Voltage Electricity and Saltwater. Throw in the bizarre wild card that there are really no standards, no certification or  licensing for installation.

There are many, many fires every year related to aquarium components. As stated above, it is an inherent facet of aquariums themsleves that they are highly conductive, highly corrosive (saltwater most especially) and, when designed poorly (or not at all) or not well-maintained, highly dangerous.

There are many electrical devices in today’s aquarium environment. Power strips, CO2 generators, heater, lights, fans, pumps, etc., can malfunction and cause a fire. Protect yourself and your home. Install a Flame Defender™ today!

ABC - This is the multipurpose dry chemical extinguisher. The ABC type is filled with monoammonium phosphate, a yellow powder that leaves a sticky residue that may be damaging to electrical appliances such as a computer. Dry chemical extinguishers have an advantage over CO2 extinguishers since they leave a non-flammable substance on the extinguished material, reducing the likelihood of re-ignition.

Class A extinguishers are for ordinary combustible materials such as paper, wood, cardboard, and most plastics. The numerical rating on these types of extinguishers indicates the amount of water it holds and the amount of fire it can extinguish.

Class B fires involve flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, grease and oil. The numerical rating for class B extinguishers indicates the approximate number of square feet of fire it can extinguish.

Class C fires involve electrical equipment, such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets. Never use water to extinguish class C fires - the risk of electrical shock is far too great! Class C extinguishers do not have a numerical rating. The C classification means the extinguishing agent is non-conductive.
