What Is Backflow Prevention?

Backflow prevention is the process of keeping water from flowing backward into a system. This is important because it can prevent contamination of the water supply. Backflow can happen when there is a change in pressure in the system, which things like firefighting or construction work can cause. Some devices can be used to prevent backflow and should be installed by a certified professional.

This is especially important if you live in an area where the water supply may be contaminated.

Frequently Asked Questions About Backflow Prevention & Installation

Backflow is the unwanted reversal of water flow in a piping system. This can happen due to a sudden drop in water pressure or an increase in pressure on the other side of the piping system. Backflow can cause contaminants to enter the water supply, so it’s essential to have a backflow prevention device installed.

The most common type of backflow prevention device is a check valve. Check valves allow water to flow in one direction but prevent it from flowing back. Other types of backflow prevention devices include air gaps and pressure relief valves.

Backflow prevention is important because it helps to keep contamination out of the water supply. Contaminants can enter the water supply through backflow and cause serious health problems. That’s why it’s essential to have a backflow prevention device installed if you have a private well or are on a public water system.
