NPHS-UK are are the leading installers of effective Fire Suppression Systems throughout the UK.
Our custom made domestic and residential high pressure water mist system is designed specifically with the family home and multi-user kitchen environments in mind, such as student accommodation, HMO’s and blocks of flats where the risk of fire is increased owing to several salient factors.
The application of this fire suppression system is wide ranging. As such, we have installed our water mist pump and discreet nozzles into large residential development projects, care homes, hotels and even saunas.
A high pressure water mist system is an approved fire suppression system which uses very fine water sprays (water mist) that is suitable for domestic, residential and commercial properties
The tiny water droplets allow the water mist to control, suppress or extinguish fires by cooling both the flame, surrounding gases and displacing oxygen by evaporation.
Micro Mist can easily absorb more heat per unit to cause flames’ temperature to drop down faster than larger water droplets found in traditional sprinkler systems.
Water Mist also displaces the oxygen in the room so that the fire gets suffocated and eventually extinguished, this is a key component to extinguishing fire using the heat triangle method.
High-pressure water mist systems work by combining three key fire suppression mechanisms:
Cooling: The fine droplets have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, allowing rapid absorption of heat from the fire. This cooling effect lowers the temperature of the fire and surrounding environment, making it harder for combustion to continue.
Oxygen Displacement: As the water droplets vaporize upon contact with the fire, they expand significantly in volume, displacing oxygen and reducing its availability for combustion.
Radiant Heat Blocking: The mist creates a barrier that absorbs and scatters radiant heat, preventing the spread of fire to adjacent areas.

One of the main benefits of high pressure water mist systems is their water efficiency. They use up to 90% less water than traditional sprinkler systems, reducing water damage in sensitive environments such as data centers, museums, and hospitals. The smaller droplet size ensures better penetration into flames and hidden spaces, increasing the likelihood of extinguishing fires quickly.
Additionally, water mist systems are highly effective against a wide range of fires, including Class A (solid materials), Class B (flammable liquids), and some electrical fires. Their low water usage also reduces the risk of secondary damage to assets, making them ideal for areas with expensive or delicate equipment.

Quickly get to key information regarding our high pressure water mist system:
We have proudly partnered with iCO to design, install and maintain the UK’s most discreet water mist suppression system for the home.
While high pressure water mist systems offer many advantages, they require precise design, installation, and maintenance to function effectively. Factors such as water mist nozzle placement, water supply, and system pressure must be carefully tailored to the specific fire risks of the environment.
In conclusion, high pressure water mist systems represent a sustainable, versatile, and highly efficient solution for modern fire protection needs, offering enhanced safety with reduced environmental and economic impacts.
If you’re thinking of using a high pressure water mist system for your next domestic, residential or commercial project or perhaps you’re a homeowner who’s looking to extend and needs to protect an exit out of the building, be sure to contact NPHS UK today for your free design consultation and quote.
