    gano ba katagal bago ma-expire ang fire extinguisher? (DRY CHEMICAL type)
    1year lang ba talaga katagal? kasi every year nagpapa-refill ako. 10lb P1,200 yun. may pumupunta tao ng fire dept.(business yata nung cheif fireman) kasi 1year lang daw shell life ng dry chem. required kasi sa business permit. kapag hindi ka sakanila magpapa-refill grabe papahirapan ka...

    eto mas nakaka-bwisit. nagaapply ako new business permit.
    bumili nalang ako sa DIY shop. 5years before ma-expire... 'gulat ako.... binigyan din nila ako xerox copy ng DTI permit nila from makati 'parang permit to sell extiguishers' papakita ko daw sa inspector. so nung ininspect na yung fire extingusher ko AYAW tangapin ng bwusit na inspector sa tao ko. kailangan daw yung permit ng DIY dito daw sa DTI pampanga galing. tanga ba yung inspector. diba pareho lang DTI main sa makati at pampanga? so ngayon kailangn ko iapply ng sariling permit itong extinguisher ko sa cityhall. madami daw babayaran na fee. kasi hindi sa mismo fire dept galing. grabe ginagawa na tanga mga tao. kapag hindi ka saknila bumili ng fire extingusiher grabe papahirapan ka.
    ganyan din ba sa kagarapal city niyo?

    yup yup yup. Hanap buhay ng mga bumbero yan. Although it is a form of corruption or harrassment, but it is still better than asking for money outright.

    Ako po nag check ng Firex dito sa planta namin, usually abroad is Five years ang warranty pero because of environmental factors wala daw local company na magbibigay ng 5 years warranty dito sa atin, pero we conduct a fire fighter training twice a year pinapagamit ko yung mga lumang firex namin mga six years old na lahat naman ok, madali lang naman kasi maintenance niyan dahil compressed tank lang naman, di ko lang alam kung ganyan din takbuhan dito sa Binan kasi Safety engineer namin ang nagaasikaso ng mga permit

    kotong tlga yang mga bumbero when it comes to that,
    yearly fire inspection dito, yearly pinapabili kami ng fire extinguisher. kung titingnan mo yung price, sobrang taga sila.

    what we do is hanap kami sa yellow page then pa fax ng quote sa kanila, tapos i-mu-mudmod ko sa mukha nila yung gusto nilang price...hehehe para mas makamura din. :D

    Reviving this thread. We bought this fire extinguisher in 2011 and totally forgot about it. Pa recharge ko sana, ma che-check kaya nila ito kung gumagana pa sa charging station? img_20220303_080607_1.jpg

    Yep they can check naman. Kaya mas gusto ko yung green vs this one, don't have to worry about it expiring. Mahal nga lang.

    Yung HCFC-123 ang laman or similar. "Clean" fire extinguisher, no residue. Red meron din kami for warehouses, blue (AFFF) for the kitchen. Dry chemical yung tawag sa red. Yan yung white powder. Messy and tumitigas sa katagalan but yan ang cheapest.

    What should I search in Google for refill station? I searched "fire extinguisher refill near me" and mukhang ang lalayo.

    I searched the green one yung hcfc 123 and available sa shopee with 5 years expiration daw. Ok kaya yun or available ba sya sa true value/ace hardware?

    Not a fan of Raffy Tulfo, but watch this, na impress ako dito. This is actual cheaper than the regular fire extinguishers and it's reusable.
