Why Backflow Prevention Matters
Why Backflow Prevention Matters
Backflow prevention devices stop contaminated water from flowing backward into your clean water supply. They're essential for protecting your businesses employees, customers and meeting municipal requirements.
Prevent Contamination
Backflow preventers ensure water flows only one direction, keeping chemicals, bacteria, and other contaminants out of our drinking water.
Code Compliance
Many municipalities have backflow prevention programs that require all commercial and industrial buildings to have cross connection surveys completed and new backflow devices installed.
