Commercial Backflow Prevention
The Benefits of Backflow Prevention:
Protection Of Drinking Water Quality
Backflow prevention devices, such as backflow preventers and check valves, help maintain the purity of drinking water by preventing contamination.
Compliance with Regulations
Many municipalities and water authorities require the installation of backflow prevention devices in specific situations, such as commercial and industrial facilities, to comply with local plumbing codes and regulations.
Public Health and Safety
Contaminated water can carry harmful substances and pathogens that pose health risks if ingested. By preventing backflow, these potential hazards are kept out of the public water supply, reducing the risk of waterborne illnesses and ensuring safe drinking water for communities.
Preserving Water Infrastructure
Contamination incidents resulting from backflow can damage water infrastructure, including pipes, valves, and pumps. Preventing backflow helps preserve the integrity and functionality of the water distribution system.
Insurance Premium Reduction
Some insurance companies offer reduced premiums to businesses and facilities that have implemented proper backflow prevention measures. Demonstrating a commitment to protecting the water supply can be valuable when negotiating insurance rates.
