What is this Backflow Anyway?

The backflow phenomena contaminate water in the reserves, which in turn poses serious health risks.  Huh?  In plainer English as it pertains to home-based settings, water reservoirs are maintained at specific internal pressure so that water flows from the tap freely when it is turned on so it protects your home from water contamination.

Where there is not any physical space available, backflow preventers are employed. Since these devices have moving parts, their testing and regular check-ups are mandatory to ensure they are adequately working. It is advised to get the preventers examined on a yearly basis. The apparatus bears a test port where a gauge is installed when testing.
