I have an old halon fire system on the mod i bought and was wondering if they are still legal to use ? I was told it got fazed out with the old freon gas. If it's not legal, i'm in the market for a new system.

Thanks: Jerry

Still legal,just too costly to refill.

Jerry, I would have to recommend that you look into a new system. Although Halon is an extrememly effective fire suppression agent, its very dangerous and costly to maintain. Basically halon is heavier than air, and once it gets in your lungs, air cannot displace it. Most firebottles on the market today use a dry chemical agent, which is still somewhat dangerous to ingest, however, it isn't as lethal as halon. Hopefully I helped shed some light on the subject for your. Have a good day -- Eric

Thank's for the info, I was pretty sure of the answer, just hate finding another expense so close to the start of the season. I guess I need ONE MORE SPONSER " ANY TAKERS ?"
