What Is Backflow and Why Does It Matter?
Backflow happens when contaminated water flows in the reverse direction within a piping system, threatening the integrity of the clean water supply. This can occur in plumbing due to sudden changes in water pressure, such as during a pipe burst or heavy water demand. Without proper prevention in place, harmful contaminants—like chemicals, bacteria, or waste—can infiltrate the drinking water supply.
For businesses, backflow poses significant risks, including:
- Health hazards for employees, customers, or the public.
- Operational disruptions if water systems are shut down for cleaning or repairs.
- Legal and regulatory consequences, including hefty fines for non-compliance.
Does Your Business Need a Backflow Preventer?
If you’re unsure whether your business needs a backflow preventer, you’re not alone. Many business owners don’t realize the critical role these devices play in protecting public health and complying with local regulations. Even if you think it’s not necessary, it would be wise to invest in one.
