Back Flow Protection Devices

Understanding Back Flow?

Back-flow occurs when water from inside a property flows backwards into the main water supply. This may carry the risk of contaminants that can harm people's health!

How would Back-flow occur?

  • there's a drop in pressure in the main, eg during a main break

  • water pressure at the property is higher than at the main, eg a cross connection from stored water to main or if a pump is

  • operating on the site.

  • Contaminants may enter the drinking water system through a cross connection caused by:

  • faulty plumbing

  • hoses submerged in buckets, tanks or pools.

  • Contaminants may include chemicals, oil, bacteria, mud and debris.

 

What is a Back Flow Device?

Back-flow prevention devices stop water flowing back into main water supplies.
A back-flow prevention devices will have one of the following elements to stop water flowing backwards:

  • A valve that only lets water go in one direction

  • An air gap

  • A break tank.

These devices are important as they protect our water quality - and the health of people using it

The installation of an appropriate back-flow prevention containment device is necessary to ensure the reticulated water supply is protected from unintended cross connection and back-flow of possible contaminants into the reticulated water supply system.
