Have you checked your Fire Extinguisher lately? YOU SHOULD if you love your spouse and yourself

[Bob Dunahugh]

I'm just disappointed that I paid about $300 for that extinguisher. How it'=
s worthless unless I put more money in it. And no warranty. Even if I send =
it back for repair. It's not a $25 one from Wall-Mart. Maybe I'm expecting =
too much. This cost me a dollar a day to own. Bob Dunahugh _______=

these. I'd check the gauge. And not assume it's OK. Bob Dunahugh

Maybe you should have bought it from Jim Kanomata?

The discussion was great. But didn't hear anything about losing pressure on
the Halon units. I got two new ones from Jim Bounds just this last April.
The gauge started to get to the red about one month later on the engine
unit. Then I forgot to check back later. Now it's well into the red.
Basically worthless as of now. So I called Jim B to see what to do. He said
that there were some that had Teflon tape sealant used on them. And those
were prone to leak. Then later they use a translucent gel as a sealant for
the brass fitting near the top. Mine has the gel. Some how mine is still
leaking. So he said to send it back to be recharged. The cost would be $25
plus shipping both ways. So probably a total cost to me of $75. So to save
the shipping back, and fort. I'm just going to have someone local recharge
it each year from now on. Just simpler. As it seems there's no warranty on
the Halon units at all. If you have one of these. I'd check the gauge. And
not assume it's OK. Bo
