Ages ago someone on Freecycle gave me a couple of fire extinguishers and one of them was a water filled one . It was empty so I took the top off and filled it with water . It didn't work when I squeezed the handle . Today I was clearing out a spare room and picked up this extinguisher and squeezed the handle and water spurted forth so I took it in to the bathroom and directed the hose in to the bath and operated it and water gushed out of the hose . . Does anyone know what it is that makes these things work .There must be more than just water in them . Is ther some sort of tablet you put in before or after filling with water . I'd love to know .
I was going to give it away on Freecycle but as it seems to be working I'll keep it but I need to know more about it .
