Backflow is a serious plumbing issue that occurs when contaminated water flows back into the clean water supply. This can introduce harmful bacteria, chemicals, and pollutants into your drinking water, posing a serious health risk to households, businesses, and the community. Backflow is usually caused by a sudden drop in water pressure, which can allow water from irrigation systems, industrial sites, or even household plumbing to flow in the wrong direction.

A sudden drop in water pressure—often caused by burst mains, high demand, or fire hydrant use—can reverse the flow of water, causing contamination. Backflow testing ensures your prevention device is working correctly to stop this from happening.
Over time, backflow prevention valves and assemblies can wear out, leading to leaks, failures, or reduced effectiveness. If your system hasn’t been tested in over a year, it’s essential to have it checked for faults and compliance.
If your property is required to have a backflow prevention device installed, you must have it tested annually to comply with Sydney Water regulations. Common properties that require testing include:
Failure to comply can result in penalties or disconnection of water services.
Backflow occurs when there is a cross-connection between potable water (clean drinking water) and non-potable sources, such as:
If these systems malfunction or pressure changes, contaminated water can flow back into the mains. Regular testing ensures your backflow device prevents contamination.
