Backflow Prevention Devices for Irrigation Systems and Why They are Needed
The laws vary from state to state and even among municipalities, but everyone
requires that a backflow prevention devise be installed on any type of cross
connection made to the municipal water system. This includes all irrigation
systems. Backflow prevention devises are life savors. They prevent hazardous
materials such as lawn chemicals and fertilizers from entering the drinking
water system. Backflow devises have a testing requirement and should be tested
to the standards of your municipality when required. Making sure your backflow
prevention device is working properly is insurance to your families safety and drinking water supply.
