What is backflow Prevention?

Backflow refers to the flow of water in a direction opposite to the normal flow, into the public water system.

This can occur anywhere, even at your home. For example, a garden hose submerged into a hot tub or swimming pool, inserted into your car’s radiator to flush out the antifreeze, or attached to an insecticide sprayer could siphon hazardous material back into our water system.

There are many ways that we can help you identify and prevent potential problems in order to ensure the protection of the public water system, keeping the water safe for you and your family.

We can make sure that your Sydney property is correctly equipped with the right backflow devices. These devices contain mechanical check values that keep dirty water from entering the clean water lines in case of major changes affecting water pressure.

Annual Testing

To keep backflow valves working correctly and aligned with municipal codes, they have to be inspected every year by an authorised backflow trained plumber. When your system is due for another backflow test, we’ll remind you so that you continue to receive uninterrupted water service.

If you have recently received a letter from Sydney Water reminding you that your annual testing is due call us for an obligation free quote on 0418 166 350
