This process of installing backflow preventers is usually carried out in steps. First, the existing plumbing system must be evaluated by a qualified technician to determine the correct type of backflow preventer. Once the suitable device has been selected, installation begins with shutting down the water supply. A qualified technician removes any existing fixtures and installs the backflow preventer, ensuring correct alignment and securing.
After installation, the backflow preventer is tested to determine that it is working right. Annual maintenance and testing, or as mandated by local regulations, should be done to ensure the device is functioning properly and can stop backflow. Homeowners must keep records of all their maintenance activities done because this may be demanded during inspections.
There are three main categories of backflow preventers: RPZ devices, double check valves, and atmospheric vacuum breakers. Each one is applicable for use in specific cases. Some are generally intended for business use, but atmospheric vacuum breakers fit the bill most often in household use. Knowing which backflow device to select from this short list will depend on which product best meets individual needs.
