Comprehensive Overview of Backflow Prevention Systems Purpose and Functionality of Water Distribution Systems Water distribution systems are meticulously engineered to ensure the seamless delivery of potable water from municipal supply lines to residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. These systems are critical infrastructure, designed to maintain consistent water pressure, quality, and accessibility to meet the diverse needs of end-users. Understanding Backflow and Its Risks Backflow represents a critical and undesirable phenomenon in water distribution systems, wherein water flows in the reverse direction—from a consumer’s plumbing system back into the public water main. This reversal can occur due to changes in pressure differentials, such as those caused by a water main break or high water usage in a specific area. Backflow poses significant health and safety risks, as it may introduce stagnant, chemically treated, or contaminated water from a home, business, pool, spa, or irrigation system into the potable water supply. Such contamination can compromise the water quality for other consumers, potentially leading to public health hazards. Mandated Backflow Prevention Measures To mitigate the risks associated with backflow, the installation of Backflow Prevention Devices (BPDs) is mandated for all residential and commercial properties, as well as for specific systems such as pools, spas, and irrigation setups. These devices are engineered to prevent reverse water flow, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the public water supply. Compliance with local plumbing and building codes is essential, as these regulations stipulate the proper selection, installation, and maintenance of BPDs to ensure their effectiveness. Regulatory Requirements and Annual Testing Regulatory authorities require that Backflow Prevention Devices undergo annual testing to verify their operational integrity. Testing must also be conducted whenever a device is relocated, repaired, or replaced. Water purveyors are responsible for notifying property owners or account holders of the scheduled testing requirements, typically through correspondence included with water billing statements. Testing must be performed by a licensed Backflow Tester, who employs specialized equipment and procedures to assess the device’s functionality. Upon completion of the test, the tester submits a detailed report to the water purveyor, documenting the device’s performance and compliance status. Additionally, the tester provides a copy of this report to the property owner for record-keeping purposes, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Backflow Frequently Asked Questions and Tips
Call 386-624-4119 for all of your backflow questions.
Backflow is the unintended reversal of the normal direction of flow in a drinking water system that may result in pollution or contamination of the system by a liquid, gas, solid, or mixture.
When backflow occurs, the water drawn back into your main water supply may be contaminated. This contaminated water remains in the water lines until it is drained from another fixture in your home. A serious health hazard could result when this contaminated water is used for drinking, cooking, or bathing.
These valves have rubber discs, seats, and springs that protect the water supply. These parts do deteriorate with time, rough water conditions, and cold weather. In order to protect the water supply, you must test your device once a year to ensure that all conponents of the valve are working to approved specs.
Pools are a very high backflow risk. Typically when a pool needs to be filled, people will use their hoses. If there was a break in the water main, or a firetruck was drawing water downstream, this could cause a negative pull on all the lines upsteam (backflow). Thus, instead of filling your pool, water would be pulled out of your pool into the main water supply. Cases of fatalities have resulted from such backflow issues. Prestige Plumbing & Backflow Services are doing everything to protect the public water supply.
When installing a new backflow device, always request that your contractor installs a device for expansion. When you install a backflow device, the water can no longer go back to the water supplier. Also, when your water heater heats water, it expands and builds pressure. This pressure cannot go back into the water supply because of the backflow preventer, and will only build pressure on the upstream side of the valve. Thus, it is imperative to have an expansion device.
Some water suppliers do not except any other certifications other than UF Treeo. UF Treeo sets the standard for all backflow testing and repair. Prestige Plumbing & Backflow is UF Treeo Certified.
