What Is Water Backflow?

Think of water backflow as an unwanted flow in the opposite direction you need - so if you want dirty water to flow away from your building, in a backflow situation the dirty water could flow back and contaminate your drinking water and cause you to have to shut down.

Essentially, any crossed connection in your water system could allow for backflow. A water cross connection is where a non-drinking water substance (sometimes deadly) has the ability to come in contact with drinking water. Water cross connections such as these can easily enable contaminants to enter the water lines through a process known as backflow.

When was the backflow preventer invented? Beginning in 1930, rudimentary pressure vacuum breakers were being designed and developed in the Los Angeles area. Double check assemblies followed shortly thereafter. In the 1950s, the design of the double check became more of what we see today. It was the main backflow assembly being used until the develop of the RPZ and high hazards were defined. Read more of the history.
