What is Backflow?
Backflow, or backflow, occurs when water flows in the opposite direction to the normal flow. When this occurs, there’s a chance that the water will return contaminated with chemicals, fertilizers, and sewage, all of which can contaminate drinking water and cause illness for consumers, workers, and anyone else who consumes the water. Ontario code requires the installation of backflow preventers in many buildings and businesses to ensure clean, safe water for everyone.
How to Choose the Right Backflow Device
Choosing the right backflow device, including backflow valves, depends on the type of building, the water source, and the severity of the contamination. Factors to consider:
- Water system design
- Contamination risk
- Regulatory requirements
- Maintenance access
The backflow prevention device must be tested annually by a certified technician for the following:
- The device protects drinking water from contamination
- The device complies with provincial codes and requirements
- Identify wear and damage and determine device replacement requirements
