Some fire sprinkler systems have a valve for testing the water-flow alarm by allowing water to flow to the alarm, or through the alarm-sensing pipe, without activating any sprinklers in the rest of the system.
Ordinary water is used in most fire sprinkler systems. Most fire sprinkler systems are connected directly to the same water you get from the fire hydrant, which is also often the source for drinking water as well.
Reviews for fire sprinkler systems can be found from the Fire Protection Agency and from the Fire Industry Association. These give their own independent reviews of how good the different systems are.
California requires sprinkler systems in newly built one and two story residences. Sprinkler systems are also required for condominiums.
A deluge fire sprinkler system, unlike most ordinary systems, mean that the sprinkler heads do not have individual heat-sensitive valves. The sprinkler heads in a deluge system have no valves of their own, meaning they are always open and water will be sprayed out of them when the supply valve is turned on. There are limited uses for deluge systems, such as in a tire storage warehouse where it is important to put out a fire quickly and the massive flow of water will not cause major damage.

Yes, both wet and dry systems have valves.

Fire sprinkler systems are effectively already zoned - you don't need to do anything special. When your fire sprinkler system detects a fire, it doesn't set off all the sprinkler heads at once. Instead, each fire sprinkler head goes off when the temperature underneath it reaches a specific temperature, meaning only the ones affected by the fire will go off.
