Types of Backflow Preventers
Pressure Vacuum Breaker
Common on home sprinkler systems. It is installed above the highest sprinkler head.
Double Check Assembly
Two check valves in a row. Used where the hazard is low, such as many fire lines.
Reduced Pressure Zone Assembly
The highest level of protection. It has a relief valve that dumps water if a check fails.
Choosing the Device
The water utility's rules and the hazard on the line decide which one is allowed.
Testing After the Install
A new backflow preventer is tested before it goes into service. The test proves the checks and the relief valve work.
We run the test and file the report with the city. After that, the device is tested on the schedule your water utility sets.
