Backflow Prevention & Cross Connection Control – Keep Your Water Pure
Maintaining pure drinking water is a priority, and effective backflow prevention plays a crucial role. Cross connections between potable water systems and potential contamination sources can lead to serious health risks. That's why understanding and implementing proper backflow prevention measures is essential. For additional context and guidelines, consider visiting the Epcor Backflow Prevention page.
How Backflow Prevention Protects Your Water
Backflow prevention devices ensure water flows in only one direction. This simple yet effective principle stops contaminants from re-entering your clean water supply. At Edmonton Backflow Testing Services, we design our solutions to integrate seamlessly into your existing system—whether through a new Backflow Installation or by maintaining your current setup with our Backflow Testing. Our approach is informed by industry best practices, including recommendations found on the Epcor website.
Understanding Backsiphonage and Backpressure
Backsiphonage happens when negative pressure in the piping system pulls contaminants back into the potable water supply. In contrast, backpressure occurs when a higher-pressure non-potable source forces water back into the clean supply. Both issues can compromise water purity. With our specialized Backflow Repair services, we ensure that your backflow prevention devices are always in optimal condition, effectively mitigating these risks.
Regulatory Standards and Compliance
Compliance with cross connection control regulations is not just about following the law—it's about protecting your community’s water supply. At Edmonton Backflow Testing Services, we adhere to strict standards that reflect the latest industry practices. For more detailed regulatory guidance, you can review the standards on the Epcor website. Regular inspections and tests, available through our Backflow Testing service, are key to maintaining ongoing compliance.
Why Regular Backflow Testing is Essential
Routine testing of backflow prevention devices is critical for early detection of issues that could compromise water quality. Testing should be performed:
- After Installation: To ensure the device is working as intended.
- During Maintenance: Following repairs or modifications.
- Annually: As a part of regular safety protocols.
- After Relocation: Whenever the device is moved.
