What Is Backflow?

When there is a cross connection within the water system, it is possible for other substances and used water to infiltrate the potable water system. Backflow commonly occurs when there is an abrupt loss of water in the main water line, due to a water main break or a large volume of water being released through fire hydrants. This pressure drop causes a reverse flow in the water line, contaminating the clean drinking water.

How Backflow Devices Work

A backflow prevention device stops the reverse flow of water in the water line, which prevents contamination of the potable water in a home or commercial building. The backflow prevention device is installed between the main water line and your home or business.

A backflow prevention device keeps the potable water system free of:

  • Used water
  • Gasses
  • Industrial fluid
  • Other substances

Backflow FAQs

How often should backflow devices be tested?

Backflow prevention devices should be tested annually to ensure they are functioning properly and providing adequate protection for the water supply.

What are the consequences of not testing backflow devices?

Failure to test backflow devices can result in non-compliance with regulations, potential contamination of the water supply, and potential legal consequences. It's important to stay up to date with testing requirements.

Can I repair or replace a backflow device myself?

Backflow devices are complex and require specialized knowledge to repair or replace. It's best to leave this work to trained professionals to ensure the device functions correctly and complies with regulations.
