Why Richardson Homeowners Need Professional Backflow Prevention
Backflow is more than a plumbing inconvenience. It can create a pathway for non-potable water to enter a potable water system.
Potential contaminants can come from sources such as:
- Lawn irrigation systems
- Swimming pools
- Chemical systems
- Fertilizer connections
- Hose bibs
- Boilers
- Commercial equipment
- Fire protection systems
- Industrial processes
- Other cross-connections
A properly designed backflow prevention system helps separate potential contaminants from the drinking-water supply.
For this reason, backflow prevention is an important part of maintaining a safe plumbing system.
