A word about backflow . . .

It is not something you ever want to experience!  Call (817) 996-2000 for more information.

Back flow occurs when water pressure drops and the flow of water reverses, in effect sending contaminated water FROM the home back TO the City’s potable water supply.  In some instances it can mean back-ups in the homes . . . polluted water in your water reservoir.

It is a mess, such a mess that there are now local, state, and federal regulations governing the protection of the municipal water supply against back flow.  Businesses are now required to have an annual inspection of backflow preventers.  In some communities it is even required of all home owners.  Those inspections must be conducted by a licensed backflow inspector, one who has passed intensive training in backflow prevention, and the results of those inspections are then filed with the local governing body. If those inspections are not done, fines will occur, and at times businesses will be shut down until they are in compliance with the law.

Backlow is not to be messed with!  Call City Backflow Testing if you do business in the Greater Fort Worth area and ask about backflow inspection services from the backflow experts.

So how do these backflow preventers work?

The main job of a backflow preventer is to recognize when the water pressure has dropped, and to shut down water flow until the problem is resolved.  This is done using check valves and/or pressure vacuum breakers.  They are, in design, very simple mechanisms, and when properly installed, with inspection ports which are easily accessible, they can be inspected rather quickly, repaired quickly, and replaced quickly.

Which leads us to Wilkins Backflow devices and backflow parts, designed to handle the constant demands in industrial and commercial settings; for years Wilkins has been one of the most trusted names in cross-connection and backflow prevention.  Those inspectors and maintenance specialists, like those at City Backflow Testing, will tell you that Wilkins Backflow Preventers are highly-trusted in the industry, a name at the top of the list of replacement parts.

And really, any discussion about backflow prevention, is a discussion about trust. Citizens in any city want to trust that their water supply is healthy.  They want to trust that if there is an emergency that their water supply will be protected against back flow.  They want to know that their government is regulating safe backflow practices, and they want to know that the backflow devices used are of top quality. All these things they want to know. . . they want to trust in them . .. so that life can continue on without the unease of distrust.

Wilkins Backflow devices deliver that trust and peace of mind. They have for decades now and they will continue to do so for many more decades.
