Isn't America great? Everyone can freely voice their opinion
on any subject they choose. By having the freedom of choice
we can either agree or disagree with those opinions.
I choose to disagree with Mr. Rauwolf's opinion on Home Sprinkler
Systems. I won't waste anyone's time rebutting his position,
for his opinion is his own. For those wanting to learn more about
residential sprinklers systems, check out this informative website,
and form your own opinion.

From recent research, I've learned that there are now more than
200 municipalities in this country currently requiring residential
sprinkler systems in new construction. Cost runs between 1-2%
in new construction. Accidental discharge rate is 1 in 16 million.
There are now residential sprinkler systems that utilize regular
cold water supply lines to feed the sprinkler heads, reducing
the need for a seperate water supply system and thereby reducing
costs.
Contact your local or state division of fire prevention for more
information.
