What Is Backflow Prevention?
A backflow prevention device is a mechanical or electronic device that is installed at the point where the municipal water supply enters the water system. The device is designed to prevent any potential contaminants from entering the water system and contaminating the potable water. The backflow prevention device is usually installed at the main water shutoff valve or at the point where the municipal water supply enters the water system. If you have a backflow prevention device, it is critical that it is tested on a regular basis to ensure that it is working properly.
Some common types of backflow prevention devices include:
- Hydraulic pressure relief valves
- Diaphragm valves
- Water pressure reducing valves
- Air-gap valves
- Orifice plates
The type of backflow prevention device that is used will depend on the specific needs of the property. A licensed plumber will be able to determine if a backflow prevention device is necessary and install the device properly. In addition, a plumber will be able to inspect the device to ensure that it is working properly and schedule regular testing to ensure that the device continues to work as intended.
