FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT MAKES A BACKFLOW PREVENTER COMPLIANT?
Compliant backflow preventers will meet all of the standards set forth by Stanford University’s guidelines, and will pass the field test that assesses those guidelines. For more information, check out this sample backflow preventer field test form provided by the Washington State Department of Health.
WHAT MIGHT CAUSE MY BACKFLOW PREVENTER TO STOP WORKING?
Backflow failures most often occur because of debris build up within the assembly or worn-out check valves. Regional weather conditions can also impact the lifespan of a backflow preventer. For example, an especially cold winter or exposure to very salty air can cause a backflow preventer to degrade more quickly.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY BACKFLOW PREVENTER IS NON-COMPLIANT?
If you have an RP type backflow preventer, you may notice that there is leakage from the check valves. However, if you don’t have an RP backflow, there may not be any external signs that your backflow preventer isn’t working properly. That’s why it is so important to complete annual testing.
