Backflow Testing and Repair
What is backflow?
Backflow is a plumbing term that refers to the pollution of a clean water line by contaminated water flowing in the reverse direction. Backflow occurs in cross-connections, such as in dishwashers and reverse osmosis systems, between potable and non-potable water lines and results in water that is unsafe to consume. For example, dirty dish water can siphon into your clean water line and dirty your drinking water. Two types of changes in water pressure, back pressure and back siphonage, are the primary causes of backflow.
Backflow Prevention Devices
The best way to protect the water you drink and consume daily is a properly installed and maintained backflow prevention assembly. Piping systems can be vulnerable to harmful pollutants or contaminates, which may be introduced unknowingly into the distribution piping.
