Respects what you value most

Traditional fire sprinkler quotes often exclude the cost of upgrading your water supply, which is why total costs can increase significantly. While the sprinkler system itself may cost as little as $5,000–$6,000, water utilities may require a larger meter to meet the system’s flow demand, adding both upfront installation fees and possible ongoing monthly charges. Depending on the property and infrastructure, these additional costs can range from a few thousand dollars to much higher in complex cases. Automist operates at significantly lower flow than conventional sprinklers – a standard domestic meter can handle the demand without upsizing.

For ADUs requiring fire protection, the choice is typically between traditional NFPA 13D sprinklers and Automist, with key differences in installation, water demand, and overall impact. Traditional systems require extensive ceiling pipework, high water flow (13–26 GPM), and often costly utility upgrades, while Automist uses compact, wall-mounted heads with flexible connections and operates on just 2.4 GPM from a standard domestic supply. It uses around 90% less water, reducing potential damage, and avoids many infrastructure costs and delays, making total installed costs often comparable or lower.

Automist can help protect home art collections, heirlooms, antiques, and other valuable possessions by targeting fire early and using significantly less water than traditional sprinklers. By carefully positioning the sprayhead, Automist can also help direct water mist away from precious assets while still targeting the likely fire source. For homeowners who want fire protection without unnecessary water damage, Automist offers a different approach:
Target the flames. Avoid the flood. Protect what matters.
