  5. Reduced Pressure Zone Assembly

Backflows can occur two ways:

  1. Negative pressure causes a ‘back-siphon’. Negative pressure creates a partial vacuum in a sealed tube or distribution system that can siphon liquid into a potable water system. Remember, liquids will flow toward the point of lowest pressure.
  2. Superior pressure causes backpressure backflow. Superior pressure can be caused by a pump, boiler system, or elevated storage tank located in a non-potable system.

Breaks in a water main or fire hydrant use are two examples that may cause a system to backflow. These are situations that can happen without notice and therefore require continuous prevention.

Prevention is maintained through:

  1. Careful considerations of water supply connections.
  2. A system of valves set up for protection.
    The type of valve is determined by the hazard it protects.
  3. Regular inspection/testing of backflow prevention valves.
