Recharging an extinguisher involves replenishing it with extinguishing agent (water, powder or carbon dioxide), then readjusting the reservoir pressure in the case of a permanent pressure device, or replacing the cartridge containing the gas that enables the product to be projected, in the case of an auxiliary pressure device.
This operation must be carried out by fire safety professionals to ensure that your appliance complies with current regulations.
