Backflow Preventer
Reliable protection for potable water systems.
Overview
A backflow preventer is a mechanical safety device installed in plumbing systems to ensure water flows in only one direction and to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the clean, potable supply. It protects drinking water from pollution caused by pressure changes such as backpressure or backsiphonage, which can force water to reverse direction within the system. Backflow preventers are essential for maintaining water quality and meeting health and safety standards.
