Irrigation Backflow Preventer
Irrigation Backflow Preventer
What is an Irrigation Backflow?
Backflow refers to the contaminating water that flows in the wrong direction causing pollution. During a backflow incident, water from the irrigation system may return to the main water supply.
Backflow can occur at any cross-connection. It creates highly unsafe water when portable and non-potable water lines cross.
What is a Backflow Preventer and Why You Need One on Your Irrigation System
Backflow preventer devices are designed to ensure water flows in one direction. The water in irrigation lines contains harmful chemicals that can contaminate your potable water if the water flow reverses. Here are some key benefits of a backflow preventer:
-Removes impurities and reduces risks of disease.
-Improves water quality.
-Prevents pipe damage.
-Complying with legal regulations.
In Wichita and most surrounding cities, you are required to install a backflow device (unless your water supply comes from a well). You are responsible for annual tests to ensure it is in regulation, and every 5 years you are required to rebuild your preventer. A rebuild is replacing the mechanism inside the preventer to ensure optimum function.
