About AutomistTM
A breakthrough in home safety -
a fire protection appliance that fills the
gap between fire extinguishers and traditional sprinkler systems.
Automist is an award-winning safety device that integrates seamlessly into existing homes. A reliable and cost-effective solution, Automist targets at-risk rooms such as the kitchen, where most fires start. Unlike other fire suppression systems, Automist can be run from a standard domestic mains water supply, installing almost invisibly underneath a standard tap. Installation disruption is minimal and annual maintenance involves only a simple and quick test. Automist uses well-established water mist technology to protect life and property, with only 10% of the water usage of a traditional sprinkler system.
If a kitchen fire starts the system is triggered automatically by a wireless heat detector. Detection is based on industry standard heat detectors as recommended in Approved Document B, effectively eliminating nuisance alarms. It can also be activated manually by pushing a button. This starts an under-sink pump which drives mains water through the unique nozzle unit, quickly filling the kitchen with dense fog, suppressing the blaze.
In one of the most comprehensive test suites ever run on a mist product at BRE Global, Automist was found to render a lethal environment survivable. In a major furniture fire, even those immobilised in the room would have survived for the entire test period of 30 minutes. Testing has shown that Automist can extinguish small fires and greatly impedes the development of very serious fires.

James Dyson said: “This simple but clever device should become a permanent safety feature in the home. Smoke alarms are essential part of modern life but have remained fundamentally unchanged for forty years. Automist not only detects a fire but can put it out as well.”
