What is the best way to prevent fire sprinkler system corrosion including Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC)?
The best method for fire sprinkler system corrosion prevention is to treat any water put into the system (starting at initial installation) with a tested, reliable corrosion inhibitor. Potter Pipe-Shield is a biostatic environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor that actually forms an invisible molecular bond layer on the fire sprinkler system pipe wall, which in turn provides a barrier for oxygen cell and bacteria related corrosion. Potter Pipe-Shield was specifically developed to protect wet, dry, and pre-action fire sprinkler systems from Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) and oxygen corrosion.
