What Types Of Backflow Preventers Can Be Installed To Help Protect Our Home?

Pressure Vacuum Breakers can be installed on the water supply line to any landscape irrigation system or on the water fill line to swimming pools.  Hose Bibb Vacuum Breakers are small inexpensive devices that are installed on hose bibbs or threaded sill cocks where garden hoses are attached.

What is a Cross Connection?

A cross connection is the actual physical connection between potable (drinking) water and any substance of questionable quality.  A cross connection commonly occurs when a water hose is left running, yet is submerged in a tree well or in a bucket of soap water.  If a backflow event were to occur, these substances could enter the drinking water supply and possibly be distributed throughout the distribution system where numerous consumers would be exposed to these substances.
