Frequently asked questions

Backflow is the unwanted reverse flow of water or other substances into the clean water supply, often caused by changes in water pressure. This can contaminate the potable water system, which is why backflow prevention is crucial to protecting public health.

The type of backflow prevention assembly you need depends on your system’s specific requirements, such as the level of hazard and the water pressure. Common types include Reduced Pressure Principle (RP), Double Check Valve (DC), and Pressure Vacuum Breakers (PVB). Our team can help you select the correct assembly for your needs.

If your backflow assembly has failed, you should have it repaired or replaced as soon as possible to prevent contamination. Contact us to get the necessary parts or schedule a repair service. We can assist in troubleshooting and recommending the best solution for your situation.

It is not recommended to use generic parts for repairing backflow assemblies. These parts do not meet the required standards for safety and performance. Using OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts ensures proper functioning and compliance with local regulations. In California, the CCCPH does not allow for modification of any assemblies, so OEM parts are required.
