A backflow preventer keeps irrigation water from flowing backward into your clean drinking water.
Sprinkler water picks up fertilizer, dirt and whatever else sits in your yard. The backflow preventer makes sure it stays out of the supply your home or business drinks from. The EPA explains why cross-connection control and backflow prevention matter for water quality. Many local utilities ask for backflow testing on a set schedule, so check with yours.
We can put in a new device as part of your sprinkler system, or test an existing one to confirm it is working. If it needs attention, we will explain what we found in plain words. We handle backflow preventers strictly as part of the irrigation system. Cross-connection work on your home's main plumbing belongs with a licensed plumber.
Backflow is water moving the wrong way through your pipes. It can happen when pressure in the water supply suddenly drops, which can pull water backward, or when pressure on the sprinkler side becomes higher than the supply. A backflow preventer stops that reverse flow.
Common types include pressure vacuum breakers, double check valve assemblies and reduced pressure assemblies. Which one a property needs depends on your water utility's rules and how your system is set up.
Some backflow preventers have a relief valve that releases water when pressure changes, so a short burst can be normal. Steady dripping or spraying usually means a part inside is worn or has debris in it, and the device should be looked at.
It can. Backflow preventers sit above ground, and the rare hard freeze in our area can crack them. Covering the device with an insulated cover before a freeze helps protect it.
