What is Backflow

Backflow is the unwanted reversal of flow of non-potable water or other substances into a consumers potabel water system. This can contaminate the water we drink, cook with, and bathe in. This typically occurs when there is a drop in water pressure, causing contaminated water, chemicals, or other hazardous substances to flow back into the clean water supply.

Two Main Types of backflow

Backpressure Backflow

This is caused by higher downstream pressure than upstream pressure
