Why Backflow Preventers Are Important
Backflow preventers are an important safety device that protect a home’s drinking water supply from contamination. These devices prevent irrigation water, fertilizers, and other outdoor contaminants from flowing backward into the household plumbing system.
When a backflow preventer fails or begins leaking, it can cause:
-
Water loss from the sprinkler system
-
Reduced irrigation pressure
-
Potential contamination risk to the home’s water supply
Because of this, damaged backflow devices should be repaired or replaced promptly.
How We Fixed the Problem
After inspecting the irrigation system, we confirmed that the existing PVB backflow preventer had failed and needed replacement.
This repair included:
-
Removing the damaged backflow preventer
-
Installing a new pressure vacuum breaker assembly
-
Testing the system to ensure proper sprinkler operation
Once installed, the irrigation system was able to operate properly again just in time for the upcoming watering season.
