Why must the chemicals in pump tank extinguishers be replaced regularly?

The chemicals in pump tank extinguishers must be replaced regularly to ensure effective extinguishing performance. Over time, the chemicals can degrade, lose their effectiveness, or become contaminated. If the chemicals are not maintained or replaced, the extinguisher may not work properly in an emergency situation, failing to suppress a fire as intended. Regular maintenance and replacement help ensure that the extinguisher will function properly when it's needed most, providing reliable protection against fire hazards. Additionally, maintaining the correct chemical levels and composition is critical for meeting performance standards and safety regulations, ultimately ensuring the safety of both the property and individuals using the extinguisher.
