Protect Your Drinking Water

The water entering your home from the main water line should flow in one direction only – into your home.  However, sometimes due to pressure changes in the pipes, water can actually flow backwards, seeping back into the main water supply.  When this occurs it’s called backflow, which is the unwanted water or mixture of liquids, gases and substances that enter into the distribution pipes of the potable water supply.

This backflow may come from other plumbing devices, pools or irrigation systems. The contaminants that often invade your water supply can cause diseases, serious illnesses and even death.

Your home’s plumbing system has a backflow prevention device, a mechanical check valve that prevents your water supply from becoming contaminated.  Backflow prevention systems are devices installed onto a pipe that only allow water to flow in one direction, preventing contaminated water and ensuring your tap water is safe and clean. These devices are crucial to your family’s health!
