What’s a Backflow Prevention Device?

Backflow is a plumbing term we use all the time, not commonly known to the average person, that refers to the contamination of the line of clean water due to water that flows in the reverse direction. Water that flows in the opposite direction refers to wastewater in this regard. Thankfully there are multiple water management systems for consumers to enjoy for their premise’s usage. A backflow prevention device is one of them and it aims to cut off the reversal flow of contaminated water in the reverse direction toward clean water. It is a device that needs to be installed by a licensed and experienced plumber on the Peninsula to ensure that the product does its work of keeping water flowing in the right direction. There are many different types to choose from because they offer various application benefits. 

Benefits of backflow prevention testing

Now that we’ve broken down the mechanics of the backflow prevention device, we’re going to get into the importance of periodic testing. Backflow testing is supposed to help you mitigate against the effects of backflow and that includes everything from marginal threats to serious ones.
