Backflow is a serious issue that can jeopardize the health of your employees, customers, and clients by allowing contaminated water to enter your clean water supply. For businesses, such as restaurants, healthcare facilities, and offices, backflow prevention is not just essential for safety but is also legally required in many areas.
What Causes Backflow?
Backflow occurs when there’s a sudden change in water pressure, such as during a water main break or when a fire hydrant is in use. This pressure reversal can cause contaminated water from drains, chemicals, or appliances to flow back into the potable water supply.
Why Is Backflow Prevention Important?
A backflow prevention device—such as a reduced pressure zone (RPZ) valve—blocks contaminated water from entering your clean water supply. Without proper prevention, harmful bacteria, chemicals, or pollutants can mix with drinking water, creating health risks and potentially violating health regulations.
Does Your Business Need Backflow Prevention?
Any business that uses large plumbing systems, water tanks, or appliances connected to the water supply is required to have backflow prevention devices installed. Restaurants, dental offices, and commercial properties are especially vulnerable and must comply with local backflow regulations.
