Backflow Preventers

Backflow preventers are saving lives across the United States. Sound dramatic? It's really not when you think about the potential danger of consuming water not suitable for drinking. Many states now require the installation of a backflow preventer on every sprinkler irrigation system. A properly installed backflow preventer protects a home's pure drinking water supply by stopping contaminated water from mixing with the drinking water. Understanding what backflow is how it occurs and how to stop potentially dangerous backflow situations will help to avoid problems in your clients' drinking water.
