Backflow Prevention

The two ways backflow may occur is Backsiphonage and Backpressure.

• Backsiphonage – is when there is a decrease in your water pressure. This could be for several reasons, one example could be maybe a break in the main pipe that has caused the water to flow slower. Backflow happens mainly due to the fact that water will follow the path of least resistance.
• Backpressure – is when your water system surpasses the pressure in your potable system. This reverse will naturally occur to make up for the loss of water. The potable water system will force the water to reverse its current flow. This a major cause of how poisons can enter your water supply and diminish the quality of your water.

Backflow prevention devices are in all water systems. That is why it is important that these devices need to be installed properly and upheld to keep working accurately. Besides the danger of containments, when your equipment experiences backflow, this can put your equipment at risk of corrosion and potential failing. Any failure can put you and your family’s well-being at jeopardy. Our experienced backflow techs assure your system is in order and safe by following all the regulatory requirements. The danger is the fact that your water components can produce a lot of pressure. This is the main purpose of using only a certified trained specialists with your local Pam Beach County plumbing contractor to handle any and all backflow that may arise. This is a serious safety environment and should never be attempted by homeowners or property owners that are not certified and trained to handle these situations. While analyzing your system, our technician will be able to visually see and test your backflow system for precision and performance. Most backflow systems contain many parts and options of choice for the customer. This includes air gaps that are essential, being considered the simplest and effective way to avert backflow. Air gaps are non-mechanical simple gaps of open space between any of the plumbing devices that connect to a valve or your faucet. The more complex and intricate devices are not in the open and will not be in view or accessible to the property owner. The most important point to remember is to have your system installed and repaired with only tested and approved backflow devices that your local plumber supplies. The device that most would be familiar with is the Hose Bibb Vacuum Breaker. The hose faucet we all have on the end of our water pipes is specially designed as an atmospheric vacuum breaker. This is just one example of an AVB (atmospheric vacuum breaker), but there are many throughout the system. Usually, the selections of backflow parts will differ pending the required of usage and the degree of danger that may be posed.
