Although the government and safety authorities of the United States have not made it mandatory for homes and buildings to install water sprinklers, but they prefer its presence. Water sprinklers are automatic and they are the best when it comes to control fire in the initial stage. As they start spraying water automatically when the fire gets out of control, it can be controlled with the least damage happening to the building.

Installing a fire sprinkler is not only restricted to new homes and buildings; it can be installed in the old homes as well. But installing it can be an expensive thing and as the pipes are meant to be underground, repairing the wear and tear of the walls and cleanings would be an added expense. This is why most home owners who have previously built homes prefer not to install the water sprinkler.

For the home owners who are building new homes from scratch or are demolishing their homes to build a new styled home, they have an advantage to availing the facility. The water sprinklers have a sensor attached to them which turns it on as soon as it detects smoke or high temperature rising from under. The direct spray of water kills the flames and it saves the house from turning from a beautiful building into ash.

But installing it is not the only solution; you have to make sure that the water level in its tank is always full. Make sure that when you have installed it, you have the liquid level indicator within sight. Have it placed in a position where you can see it frequently. If the water level is nearly empty, whenever there is a need for it, the sprinklers will turn on but no water would fall from it. This will make it as good as not installed.

If you are really careful about the home you so proudly own and also about the expensive things present in it, then don’t just rely on the fixed water level indicator. Sometimes even the best indicators can malfunction. They will show you a full tank on the reader but actually it would not be as you see. Make sure that you have an alternate measuring device to ensure that your level indicator is telling the truth.

Test it with an ultrasonic level indicator. Take some time, once a week would be enough or if you are really lazy then do it at least once a month. Just go to the roof and measure the water level in the tank. this will remove all the doubts about the indicator fixed below and also ensure that your home is safe.
