Backflow prevention devices are designed to protect the potable (drinking) water supply so that if a cross connection exists and a backflow incident does occur any contamination is prevented. There are a number of different backflow prevention devices on the market & are installed across a wide range of industries and classes, from domestic use (low hazard) to industrial use (high Hazard). The type of device required will depend on the risk rating of the property or appliance with the potential hazard.
The friendly team at HinterCoast Plumbing & Gas can provide the right backflow prevention system for the right industry across the board. We pride ourselves on stringent testing methods and installation processes to protect the potable water supply and the health of consumers. The potable (drinking) water supply is one of our most precious resources and needs to be protected. As supply systems become more complex, such as rainwater harvesting, the application of grey water systems and water supply for Industry, there is ample chance for contaminants or pollutants to enter the potable water supply through cross connections at point of use.
It is a requirement, as per AS2845.1:2010 that Backflow prevention devices are tested & reported annually to ensure correct operation and functionality. Our HinterCoast Plumbing & Gas technician will liaise with your local authority to ensure ease of convenience to all clientele by taking care of all documentation, leaving you more time to get on with those more important things.
Regular backflow prevention testing will ensure that you are keeping up to date with your requirements under the relevant legislation. Contact HinterCoast Plumbing & Gas to book your yearly backflow prevention test(s) today
