A backflow prevention device is used to protect potable water supplies from contamination or pollution due to backflow. In water distribution systems, water is normally maintained at a significant pressure to enable water to flow from the tap, shower, or other fixture.
Why You Need to Install a Backflow Preventer on Your Lawn Sprinkler System. Your irrigation system is a vital component of your lawn's health. However, they can backflow and result in contaminated water entering into your home's supply of drinking water if a backflow preventer is not installed.
Install backflow preventers above ground and outside. To maintain proper protection of the water supply, backflow prevention valves can be installed outside and above grade.
One of the leading reasons for low sprinkler water pressure relates to the valves on your backflow preventer device. If you notice limited water pressure in your sprinkler system but normal water pressure inside your home, then the problem might be that your backflow preventer valves are not completely open.
A backflow preventer is to be used in high hazard situations and is meant to fully protect the potable water with their fail safe design while a check valve is used in low hazard situations and prevents backward water flow but it does not have the same fail safe components.
The backflow device is an economical way to eliminate the risk of water contamination from dirt or fertilizer back-flowing into the water supply through an outdoor faucet. A backflow preventer is highly recommended when installing a drip system.
