BackFlow Preventer

BFP installation and maintenanceBackflow Preventer

A backflow preventer is a device used to protect water supply systems from contamination or pollution. It is designed to prevent the reverse flow of water, which can occur when there is a drop in pressure in the water supply system. This pressure drop can cause contaminated water from a non-potable source to flow back into the clean water supply.

Backflow preventers are commonly used in plumbing systems, irrigation systems, and other water supply systems to ensure the safety and quality of the water. They work by automatically closing off the water supply when a reverse flow is detected, preventing any contamination from entering the system.
