Backflow Preventers

More cities, states, and local governments are responding to the need for regulations in the testing of backflow preventers.

Turn on the tap and you expect clean, healthy, treated water. What many do not realize is that without backflow preventers there is a real possibility that unhealthy chemicals, even sewage, can "backflow" and contaminate water lines.

Backflow prevention devices make sure waste, chemicals, and gases from sewer lines do not contaminate freshwater supplies.

Backflow preventers are found in apartment buildings, restaurants, and hotels, and in time are likely to be required for the average home. Most municipal governments now require backflow prevention testing. Does yours?

Properly installed and serviced, backflow preventers help guarantee that your building receives only clean, fresh drinking water, free of contaminants.
