What Is A Backflow Prevention Device?

A Backflow Prevention Device (BPD) is a specialised valve that prevents the reverse flow of water from a property back into the drinking water supply. This is critical for maintaining water quality and ensuring that potentially contaminated water from within a property doesn’t mix with the clean, potable water supply.

Backflow can occur due to changes in water pressure, and without a BPD in place, harmful contaminants like chemicals, bacteria, and other pollutants could enter the drinking water system. BPDs provide a protective barrier, ensuring that water remains safe for consumption and use. Regular testing and maintenance of these devices are essential to keep them functioning effectively.
