Safety with Hydro-Testing
For fire extinguishers that have remained unused, hydro-testing becomes a critical maintenance step to guarantee their functionality when most needed. Depending on the specific type of fire extinguisher you possess, this vital safety measure should be undertaken every 5 or 12 years.
