Why Backflow Prevention Matters

Landscape irrigation systems play a vital role in keeping your outdoor spaces healthy and beautiful. However, these systems are exposed to the very chemicals and waste products they help to manage. Pesticides, fertilizers, and animal waste can all enter your irrigation system and pose serious risks to your home or business’s water quality. Without a properly functioning backflow preventer, these contaminants may flow back into your drinking water supply. A professionally tested backflow preventer provides peace of mind, ensuring your property and your neighbors are protected from potential contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions About Backflow Testing

What Is Backflow and Why Is It Dangerous?

Backflow is the reverse flow of water through a cross-connected plumbing system, allowing contaminants to enter the clean water supply. This can occur due to changes in water pressure, which create a siphon effect. Backflow can introduce hazardous substances like fertilizers, pesticides, and waste into drinking water, posing serious health risks. Regular testing and maintenance are crucial to prevent these dangerous situations, making backflow prevention a priority for any property owner in Raleigh.

How Often Should Backflow Testing Be Conducted?

It is recommended to conduct backflow testing annually. Regular testing ensures that your backflow prevention devices, such as PVBs and RPZ valves, are functioning correctly and complying with local regulations. Annual tests help identify and address issues before they become significant problems, safeguarding your water supply and ensuring the health of your community. Scheduling regular inspections with Conserva Irrigation of the Triangle guarantees your system is always up to standard and operating efficiently.
