Why Backflow Testing?

Municipal and State plumbing codes typically require the installation of backflow prevention devices in most commercial buildings, and some residential buildings whenever there is a chance that a “backflow” of water could be sucked into the clean water system. The size and complexity of the installed backflow preventer will coincide with the specific backflow risks that each situation presents. Bottom line, backflow preventers are the key to protecting the clean water supply, most need to be tested annually.

What is Back Flow?

In it’s simplest form a “backflow” occurs when clean (potable) water reverses direction causing a suction that pulls dirty water into the clean supply system. Needless to say the “dirty” water can contain any number of harmful chemicals, fertilizers and even human waste! Anytime there is a cross-connection between clean (potable) water and “dirty” (non-potable) water the chance of a backflow exists. Consequently backflow preventers are normally required at any cross-connections in residential, commercial or industrial water systems.

What is a Backflow Prevention Device

Ranging from simple to extremely complex, these units are a series of check valves that prevent water from flowing “backwards” into the clean water supply during times of unequal water pressure or other unique pressure conditions or fluctuations. When installed and maintained correctly, a backflow preventer keeps the clean water supply safe.
