In the area of backflow prevention, the name Watts Backflow stands out as a symbol of quality. That’s because Watts only makes the finest in backflow devices and backflow preventers. But let’s back up a bit and discuss the nature of backflow and the need for Watts backflow preventers.
Backflow is the reversal of the normal direction of water to and from your home. Normally water is pushed into your home from a community’s potable water supply using pressure. There are times, though, when that pressure reverses, and this can be a very serious problem because it means that contaminated water from your home can flow back to the potable water supply.
Thus, the need for backflow valves and backflow preventers!
A Watts backflow device senses that reversal of water pressure in your water system and shuts down the dangerous reverse flow.
Watts backflow devices come in many shapes and are purchased depending on the type of water system you have. There are double check valve assemblies, double check detectors, residential fire sprinkler systems, anti-siphon, spill-resistant vacuums, reduced pressure zone assemblies (rpz), freeze resistant pressure vacuum breakers and many more styles.
It should be noted that backflow devices are mechanical devices and like all mechanical devices they will eventually wear out. Even though Watts backflow devices are an industry best, they will, eventually, need replacing.
How do you know when to replace your backflow device? How do you know when you have problems in your backflow prevention system? After all, homeowners want to know this sort of information BEFORE a problem occurs. For that matter, all cities want to know before the problem as well.
Annual backflow testing is required by state and federal law, so each year it is your responsibility to contract with a licensed backflow testing company to make sure your backflow system is working properly. These certified backflow testers will come out, run diagnostic tests on your system, and determine whether they are working properly.
