Apparently it's common for the same thing to also happen with emergency fire sprinklers. The water sits in the pipes for decades and when something eventually triggers the sprinklers a ton of brown rust water comes raining down on everyone, instantly improving morale.

It's way harder to use the sprinklers than a fancy water fountain and the building should be well on the way to evacuated when they go off rather than blasted directly into your eyes.

If it's brown, spray it down. If it's black, send it back.

Why waste good money on black water when you can get it for free from just about any safety station?

Use it or lose it, I say. I love irrigating my eyes daily. Work doesn't have bidets, so these eyewash station sometimes pull double doody

Sprinkler water isn't meant to be cycled like culinary water. It's just meant to be there, ready. And while most states require at least an annual inspection, that includes flowing water, those inspections don't flush anything but the 10 feet of pipe closest to the flow meter. content.

if your sprinkler popped then i don't think how disgusting the water inside is matters as much as the fire or general water damage. for eye wash stations, it doesn't matter what country you live in, a lack of maintenance will make the water disgusting. probably still better by a large margin than whatever chemical is potentially permanently blinding you... still should be flushed though.

This reminds me of when I was a youngster, my family went camping/hiking and my ma found a deer skull near the trail. She found it to be kinda neat and thought it would make a good conversation piece/shelf knickknack. But it was still like 5% gooey with rotting flesh. So what does she do? Bag it up, bring it home, and boil the hell out of it for 3 hours. That'll sterilize it, yea? No, it will just fill the house with an absolutely unholy stench for about a week. Ah, memories of my youth

Growing up out by some woods, we'd occasionally find deer or other animal skulls in various states of decay. They do make neat display pieces once they're clean, but our technique was more like "ok, let's check back in a month or two and see if nature's done its thing", I definitely wouldn't bother if it was something found away from home.

I like to bury my trophies somewhere unconnected to myself where bugs can finish off the flesh.

I worked in a recently renovated office where a 60s sprinkler system was fitted above the fire resistant lowered ceiling (the suppression system was still active) that had been fitted circa 2000s. So not only would any fire dump a ton of brown rust water on anyone, it would also dump a collapsed ceiling on the people who had long since burnt to death or died of smoke inhalation. This is also the office I mentioned in the OSHA thread that had a fully functional halon system fitted in a room full of salespeople. Suffocation is marginally better maybe?
