Backflow installation involves setting up a device designed to prevent water from flowing backward into the clean water supply. Backflow devices are essential for properties that have a potential risk of water contamination due to pressure changes or system failures.
You may need a backflow preventer installed if you have an irrigation system, fire sprinkler system, pool, or any system that could potentially allow contaminated water to flow back into the main water supply. Many municipalities also require backflow prevention devices to be installed in certain types of commercial or industrial properties to ensure water safety.
Not all properties require a backflow preventer. However, if your property has a pool, irrigation system, or any potential for water contamination, local regulations may require installation. Check with your local water authority for specific requirements.
Backflow installation typically takes a few hours, depending on the complexity of the system and the type of backflow preventer being installed. We’ll provide an estimate before starting the job.
There are various types of backflow preventers, including double check valves, reduced pressure zone (RPZ) valves, reduced pressure Backflow Assemblies (RPBAs), and pressure vacuum breakers. The right type for your property depends on the risks and regulations specific to your area.
The property owner is typically responsible for installing and maintaining backflow preventers on their property. The city or local water authority may require the installation of a backflow preventer but will not install it themselves.
