Backflow Prevention And Testing
The device that stops water flow in the wrong direction is called “Backflow Prevention.” It can be fitted to your home’s plumbing system and should help prevent any potentially contaminated drinking or bathing waters from flowing back into Sydney’s water supply.
Installing a backflow prevention device is one of the most important things you can do to protect your water supply’s quality and prevent the risk of hazardous bacteria and debris from flowing back up to your public water supply. The three main elements commonly used in backflow devices are:
- An Air Gap
- A Break Tank

How Much Does A Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) Valve Cost?
