Sprinkler Installation
« on: April 22, 2009, 09:09:08 AM »

For a sprinkler installation to a warehouse, do I discharge water used in maintenance and tests into a storm/surface water drain or a foul water main?

I received the above inquiry recently and would like to know if there is any reference to this in the BS or guidance on sprinklers?






All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution.

Actually TW we had a meeting today with some sprinkler engineers who will be putting a sprinkler system in our new HQ and that very question was asked, the answer... Foul drain as the water from the tank is not rain water so should not go to storm drain.
Hope this helps
