What is Backflow?
Backflow is the unintended reversal of the flow of water from any source in a water system. It occurs when the supplied water pressure is lower than the internal plumbing system. Incorrect backflow may allow contaminated water from your industry to be drawn back into the water supply system. As a result, it can cause significant health issues and legal problems for the industry owner.
What Causes Backflow? There can be many causes of Backflow in the industries that work with unique processes, chemicals, equipment, agriculture and manufacturing. Water distribution systems are designed so that water flows in only one direction. However, it is possible for the system of delivery to breakdown or develops complications that stop the water from flowing in its intended direction. When this occurs, water ends up flowing in the opposite direction.
Listed below are the major causes of backflow in commercial properties.
How to Prevent Backflow?
All industrial properties are identified as a potential backflow risk and need to be aware of their responsibilities to prevent backflow. Backflow usually occurs during routine repair or maintenance or where connections have been illegally installed. To help prevent these incidents from occurring, more cities and municipalities are commanding that backflow prevention devices be installed.
A backflow prevention device works by preventing water from flowing in the opposite direction through a series of check valves. Backflow is particularly at risk during times of changing water pressure or other fluctuations and changes. With a correctly installed and properly maintained backflow preventer, your water is clean, clear and safe from harmful contaminants.
