What Is Backflow Prevention?

Backflow prevention is designed to prevent the water that’s in your main water supply lines from flowing in reverse. The idea is to keep any outgoing wastewater away from the incoming water so the water your family uses for bathing, doing laundry, and drinking will be safe. Some of the causes of backflow include back pressure or back siphonage.

Back pressure can occur if the pressure from a non-potable water source ends up being higher than the pressure of your clean water source. Sprinkler systems, power washing tools, or boilers can cause backpressure backflow. Back siphonage occurs if there’s a loss of pressure in the water cleaner supply that allows contaminated water to be sucked backward.
