And that’s where a backflow prevention system comes in handy. Let’s take a closer look at how a backflow prevention system works.

But sometimes, due to pressure changes in the pipes, that water can actually flow backwards and seep back into the main water supply line.

First off, any Sarasota County resident who has an irrigation system or a well is required to install a backflow preventer at the water meter (because both systems are at risk of contamination due to backflow).

Newer homes may have built-in backflow preventers on certain water lines but in order to know for sure whether your home has proper backflow preventers set up, we suggest having a plumber inspect your home’s water system. They’ll install backflow preventers where it’s needed.

Think of it as a one-way gate that allows water from the city’s public water supply to flow into your home’s piping but stops water if and when it ever tries to flow backwards into the main water supply.

Well, we still recommend you have a backflow preventer installed anywhere incoming water and wastewater might be cross connected.

A backflow preventer is a device that’s installed on your home’s water pipes that allows water to flow in one direction but never in the opposite direction. Its sole job is to prevent drinking water from being contaminated due to backflow.

Live elsewhere? Or are you a Sarasota resident without an irrigation system or well? If so, you’re probably wondering if you need a backflow prevention device installed at your home.

For example, backflow can happen when there’s a break in the main water line or when a fire hydrant is opened for use. Because pressure is lost during these events, water is no longer being pushed forward into your home and will flow backwards into the city water lines.
