Backflow prevention is created by installing a physical barrier between water sources.
For example, a correctly operating backflow device or air gap prevents cross contamination between a council water supply and rain, bore or recycled water.
The type of device required to create a barrier depends on the level of risk associated should one water source contaminate another.
Correctly installed, tested and maintained backflow devices are essential in protecting the health of the community. These devices can require annual testing to maintain compliance.
Please contact Afresh Plumbing so we can help you ensure your backflow devices, air gaps and thermostatic mixing valves are properly installed and maintained for your safety.
