Backflow occurs when water flows in the wrong direction through your supply pipes. As a result, your drinking and bathing water becomes contaminated with pollutants, leading to serious illness if not dealt with quickly.
To prevent backflow, you need approved backflow prevention devices, such as a special valve that prevents the water in your pipes from running backward.
If your water pressure drops below the mains and the water in your pipes tries to travel backwards, the valve shuts off the water so it cannot become contaminated.
Have a plumbing or gas emergency?
You are legally required to install a backflow prevention device for certain businesses in WA. If you fail to comply with these standards, you can be heavily penalised.
Backflow prevention devices should be tested annually by a licensed plumber who will complete and submit a report to the Water Corporation to confirm that your device complies with WA legislation.
With backflow prevention devices, you can rest assured that your home or business’s water supply is free from nasty contaminants and pollutants.
