You will need to consult your local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) on the requirement. We recommend these inspections to ensure units are located properly and not damaged or vandalized. The inspections also provide an opportunity to fluff the chemical extinguishing agent, assuring that it is in the optimum fluid state for effective discharge.

An experienced Rusoh® Eliminator® operator can recharge it in a few minutes.
While there is no stated "cycle life", testing has shown the reusable portions to perform effectively through dozens of recharges.
We do not recommend removing the expellant cartridge before completely discharging the unit. The extinguisher can still contain high pressure and cause injury and/or the contents to discharge. To release all pressure, invert the unit and tap lightly on the agent container. Point the nozzle in a safe direction and squeeze the lever. Once the pressure is fully released, you can remove the expellant cartridge.
Small amounts of agent can be vacuumed, using a HEPA-filter vacuum. Larger amounts should be mopped up using a mixture of water and baking soda to neutralize the agents acidic properties. Clean any electronics first, to prevent damage to components. Blow out with compressed air as a first step.
We recommend ordering a new recharging kit. While the Rusoh® Eliminator® may still operate, less agent will reduce the discharge time, and potentially put the user at risk.
