WHAT IS BACKFLOW PREVENTION?

Backflow prevention is a method used to keep drinking water safe by stopping contaminated water from reversing direction and entering the clean water supply. This is achieved with specialized backflow prevention devices designed to block pollutants, chemicals and bacteria from infiltrating potable water due to changes in pressure within the plumbing system. As a crucial part of water safety, backflow prevention helps ensure that homes and businesses receive clean, uncontaminated water and is often mandated by local regulations.

WHY IS BACKFLOW PREVENTION IMPORTANT?

Maintaining a reliable and safe water supply depends on effective backflow prevention. Without it, sudden shifts in water pressure can allow harmful substances—such as pesticides, bacteria or industrial chemicals—to seep into the drinking water system. This contamination poses serious health hazards and can impact entire communities. Installing and maintaining backflow prevention devices is a proactive step in safeguarding public health, protecting property and complying with legal requirements for water safety.
