State regulations and local municipalities typically require backflow preventer installations in commercial and industrial properties that contain chemicals, fertilizers, and other hazardous substances.

Backflow preventers on fire protection, irrigation, and other water-based systems must be tested annually to ensure they are working properly and that no potential risks or contaminants enter the drinking water supply.

Regulations for backflow testing are now set forth by local plumbing codes and enforced by municipalities and local water purveyors. Most jurisdictions require annual backflow testing; however, it may be required more frequently in some cases. Failure to comply could result in fines or the disconnection of water service.

Backflow preventers are mechanical devices that protect against backflow, which is when contaminated water flows back into a drinkable water supply. Backflow occurs due to a sudden change in pressure or a break in the water main. Put simply, a backflow preventer ensures water inside fire sprinklers, irrigation systems, and other water-based systems flow in the desired direction: from the water main into the system.

While having a backflow preventer installed is important, it is just as important to have it tested to ensure regulatory compliance and device functionality. Backflow tests also help ensure the drinking water supplied to your commercial property remains safe.
