Factories and warehouses frequently use chemicals, cooling systems, and high-pressure water connections that can introduce contaminants into the water supply. Backflow prevention devices are required to stop cross-contamination.
Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows back into the clean water supply due to changes in pressure. This can introduce chemicals, bacteria, and other pollutants into drinking water, posing serious health risks. Backflow can happen in homes, businesses, and industrial sites where cross-connections exist between potable and non-potable water systems.

Backflow prevention is necessary in various situations where cross-connections exist between clean and potentially contaminated water sources. Below are some of the most common reasons why properties require backflow prevention.
Restaurants, cafes, factories, and medical facilities often have complex plumbing systems where clean water can mix with chemicals, grease, or other contaminants. A backflow prevention device ensures these substances do not enter the main water supply.
Garden irrigation systems and hose connections can create a backflow risk if contaminated water from fertilisers or pesticides is drawn back into the drinking water supply. Installing a backflow prevention device eliminates this risk.
Fire sprinkler systems are often connected to the main water supply. Without proper backflow prevention, stagnant water from the system can contaminate the potable water supply in a pressure drop event.
Factories and warehouses frequently use chemicals, cooling systems, and high-pressure water connections that can introduce contaminants into the water supply. Backflow prevention devices are required to stop cross-contamination.
Backflow occurs when a sudden drop in water pressure causes water to reverse direction. This can happen during pipe bursts, firefighting operations, or high-demand periods, leading to potential contamination.
Many businesses and commercial properties are legally required to install and test backflow prevention devices annually. Failure to comply can result in fines or disconnection of water services.
