I got this brand because it's what is in nearly all commercial buildings. I got this as a shop extinguisher since nearly all the chances of fire are with wood, paper, towels, and sparks from grinding and welding. I'd hate to cloud my whole shop and all my tools with ABC corrosive powder and deal with the cleanup in the event of a small fire. I got this because of a near miss. I realized I was hesitant to use an ABC extinguisher for a little tiny fire, and that hesitation could be a huge mistake. In that case it was not, but fires can happen fast. With this being water and so easy to refill it's a no brainer to hose anything down, and no cleanup. Really easy to fill, I added a few drops of soap so the water will tend to stick to surfaces more. It's held pressure for a few months, so seals seem good too. I still keep an ABC around, but this will be the go-to first option for me.

I bought this for a john deere baler 1/3 of the price the dealer wanted and it looks exactly the same. I hope I never have to use it other than a test.

Easy to fill.:WARNING!! If you store this outdoors where the temperature is going to reach freezing, you should use an appropriate amount of environmentally safe RV Antifreeze, add it FIRST to the tank THEN fill it with water.Before beginning:DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!! Use a screwdriver to attach the bracket included to a stud in the wall near your doorway to hold the extinguisher. I just have my extinguishers sitting on the ground next to the door, and the bracket is only there soo it does not fall and break the extinguisher making a big mess, but you can hang it as high as you want if you are sure to install the bracket on a STUD with 2-3 inch screws deck screws or similar.(not included).Inspect the unit for damage and check the pressure gauge MONTHLY to ensure it is ready to use.To fill the water can:Step 1. Unscrew the collar under the handle and take out the innards. If the plastic sleeve comes out with the tube simply slip it off and put it BACK IN THE TANK.Step 2. With a garden hose, run water through the plastic sleeve into the tank until it overflows and shut off the water.Step 3. Pull up plastic sleeve a couple inches until the water falls out of it into the tank, then put the sleeve back in the tank. At this point you can OPTIONALLY add Class A foam concentrate OR a squirt or 2 of Dawn dishwashing liquid in there to make it more effective at fighting fire by breaking the surface tension of the water, allowing it to "stick" to the materials you are spraying down.Step 4. Slip the tube with the handle into the tank and screw the collar back down, putting it on as tight as you can by hand. Twist the handle left until the hose is aligned with the hose holder.Step 5. Near the handle on the opposite side of the gauge is a valve like you would see on a tire. Unscrew the valve cover and attach an air pump to the valve and pump it to exactly 100 PSI. Face the gauge away from you as you fill it in case it fails. Once the gauge is in the middle of the green area indicating proper pressure, disconnect the air pump quickly and put the valve cover back on the valve.Step 6: Hang extinguisher on bracket. DO NOT SKIP THIS!! IF you set it on the floor and it falls right, it could cause failure and a big watery mess to clean up!CLASS "A" fires only (paper, wood, grass, carboard, plastic, furniture, anything that produces Ash).DO NOT USE THIS ON GREASE OR ELECTRICAL FIRES OR BURNING METAL such as lithium battery fires!!!I bought 2 and put one at my front door and one at my back door to fight Class A fires including dry grass.

Just what I needed. Received in good shape and on time. Great Class A fire extinguisher that can be recharged easily and almost free, just water and air.

I keep this in the cab of my tractor. When a hay roller catches on fire there is no time to waste. I have not used it yet but sooner or later it will happen again. Last time I was lucky and the neighbor had a swimming pool next to the hay field and a bucket.It is very easy to put in service. I put 2.5 gal of distilled water in the tank and a good squirt of dishwashing detergent. Then I just pressurized it with my air compressor.
