A Backflow Preventor is a critical safety device that stops contaminated water from flowing backward into your clean drinking supply. New York State law strictly mandates that these devices undergo annual testing to ensure they function correctly. Consequently, Irrigation Tech provides certified inspections, precise repairs, and compliant installation for all system makes and models.
Why Do You Need a Backflow Preventor?
Every residential irrigation system connects directly to the potable water supply. Therefore, a risk exists. Sometimes, water pressure changes occur within the city mains. As a result, water can flow in reverse. This dangerous phenomenon is called backflow. Specifically, a Backflow Preventor blocks this reversal. It prohibits dirty water from traveling out of landscape irrigation systems. Otherwise, fertilizers, pesticides, and animal waste could enter your family’s drinking water.
Furthermore, these devices are not optional. Indeed, New York State building and health codes require them. Your specific town or city building codes dictate the exact type of device needed. Thus, you must adhere to these regulations.
Understanding New York State Requirements
Compliance is mandatory for all property owners. New York State requires that your Backflow Preventor be tested annually. Moreover, you must submit a report to the local water authority. This report must come from a certified backflow testing technician. It serves as legal evidence. It proves the test was performed successfully. Additionally, it confirms the device works properly.
