"my fire alarm goes off because of water"

when you make comments like this, along with asking about your 54 businesses you run, along with the 32 entrepeneur(sp) ideas you come up, along with the 18 jobs you have, you make yourself seem like an absolute tool.

for your sake will, i recommend suicide.

A customer that came the other day for parts looked like an older Doyle with glasses...

Turns out he had the same surname

Never heard of water triggering an IR smoke detector unless the circuit's fucked on it!!

Are you really saying that even a cheap ionization alarm goes off due to condensation.

If it keeps going off, it's faulty. I could probably assure you that if your house sparks up you will become crispy.

Best keep it up then

Both ionization and photoelectric detectors are effective smoke sensors. Both types of smoke detectors must pass the same test to be certified as UL smoke detectors. Ionization detectors respond more quickly to flaming fires with smaller combustion particles; photoelectric detectors respond more quickly to smoldering fires. In either type of detector, steam or high humidity can lead to condensation on the circuit board and sensor, causing the alarm to sound. Ionization detectors are less expensive than photoelectric detectors, but some users purposely disable them because they are more likely to sound an alarm from normal cooking due to their sensitivity to minute smoke particles. However, ionization detectors have a degree of built-in security not inherent to photoelectric detectors. When the battery starts to fail in an ionization detector, the ion current falls and the alarm sounds, warning that it is time to change the battery before the detector becomes ineffective. Back-up batteries may be used for photoelectric detectors.

high humidity or condensation can trigger it apparently ?

The point being made is that it's classed as faulty, not a natural trigger. If it keeps getting triggered due to wet on the board or sensor then it's going to give false alarms - it's not the nature of the sensor. Get an optical alarm such as a Fire Angel such as these from tesco or free from your local fire service.

You seem to have purchased the diva of the fire alarm family if it's screaming everytime it gets cold.


Did anyone else get a lob on over this statement?

You're just creepy.
