Understanding Melbourne Backflow Prevention
Backflow is the undesirable reversal of water flow, where contaminated or dirty water re-enters the clean water supply. This can occur due to changes in water pressure, creating a siphoning effect that draws pollutants into the system. The consequences of backflow can range from minor contamination to significant health hazards, especially in commercial and industrial settings. Backflow prevention devices, such as Reduced Pressure Zone Devices (RPZD) and Testable Double Check Valves, are used to prevent such issues. These devices are essential for protecting water supplies and ensuring compliance with local regulations.

Our team is fully trained in the latest techniques and guidelines, ensuring that all installations and services comply with applicable standards and codes of practice.
