Prevent Backflow AT HOME
To prevent backflow, many localities require that homes and businesses have a backflow prevention device installed on their plumbing system. These devices, which may include a reduced pressure principle (RPZ) valve or a double check valve, are designed to prevent water from flowing back into the main water supply.
Industrial Backflow Prevention & Testing
Industrial backflow prevention is essential for protecting clean water supplies in facilities that handle chemicals, waste, or other hazardous materials. In industrial settings, the risk of backflow is higher due to complex plumbing systems and high-pressure equipment.
To prevent contamination, specialized backflow prevention devices—such as reduced pressure zone (RPZ) assemblies, double check valves, and air gaps—are installed at key points in the system. These devices ensure that water flows in only one direction, even if pressure changes occur. Regular inspection and maintenance are critical to ensure these systems function properly and comply with safety regulations.
