Hydrocore Mist System
Hydrocore is a UK manufacturer of Commercial, Industrial & Residential High-Pressure Water Mist fire suppression systems. We design, manufacture, install & service our internationally approved systems.
Feature & Benefits of a High-Pressure Water Mist (HPWM) system
High Pressure Water Mist fire suppression systems have extensive features and benefits including faster activation times, performance in suppressing / extinguishing fires, water usage being
substantially reduced and subsequently the damage & downtime caused is substantially reduced.
The cost of a HPWM Domestic & Residential system compared to other systems would see a HPWM system being more commercially viable without the need for large water tanks & pipework.
Systems we install:
Commercial Kitchen Fire Suppression
Gas Fire Suppression Systems are used to extinguish electrical fires by releasing a concentration of gas within a particular room.
Most commonly found in server rooms, computer suites and communication rooms a Gas Suppression system is responsible for protecting the integral functions of your business.
Sprinkler System Servicing
Dry and Wet Risers are installed to ensure the availability of large quantities of water to the Emergency Services when attending to a fire in a building over 18 metres in height (buildings over 60 metres require wet risers).
Dry risers are comprised of vertical mains which are fitted into staircase enclosures or other suitable locations, with outlets installed at ground level to enable the fire services to connect into the water supply. Dry riser mains present a readily available means of delivering substantial quantities of water in order to extinguish or prevent the spread of fire. They are intended for use by the fire services or other trained personnel.
Water Mist Systems offer an alternative fire fighting solution for general applications such as hotels and commercial premises including office blocks as well as more industrial applications such as factory machinery, museums, and telecommunication applications.
Extensively tested and using the very latest technology, water mist systems are installed in the same way as sprinkler system. The difference is that in operation micron sized water droplets are discharged over a wider surface area.
By rapidly converting energy to steam the water mist starves the fire of the oxygen it needs to burn. This not only results in a much faster rate at which the water absorbs the heat, but also minimises the damage cause to the surroundings.

Why use a Mist System?
A fire mist system (also known as a water mist fire suppression system) is used for fire protection in a variety of settings. It works by spraying a fine mist of water droplets that absorb heat and displace oxygen to suppress or extinguish fires. Here’s why you might use one:
🔥 Key Advantages of a Fire Mist System
-
Efficient Fire Suppression
-
The fine mist cools the flame and surrounding gases.
-
Displaces oxygen at the fire source to help smother the fire.
-
Effective on Class A, B, and some Class C fires, depending on the system.
-
-
Uses Less Water
-
Compared to traditional sprinkler systems, it uses 80–90% less water.
-
Less water = less damage to property, electronics, and valuable assets.
-
-
Safe for Sensitive Environments
-
Ideal for data centers, museums, hospitals, archives, and engine rooms.
-
Doesn’t cause flooding or water damage like traditional systems.
-
-
Environmentally Friendly
-
Just uses water — no harmful chemicals or gases involved.
-
No ozone depletion or greenhouse gas risks (unlike some gas-based systems).
-
-
Fast Activation
-
Often quicker to activate than standard sprinkler systems.
-
Mist can suppress the fire before it spreads significantly.
-
-
Improved Visibility During Fire
-
Fine mist doesn’t produce steam clouds like sprinklers, which can improve visibility for evacuation and firefighting.
