Frequently Asked Questions About Backflow Preventer Installation
It's important to hire a qualified backflow preventer contractor or plumber to ensure it is installed correctly and according to the building code in your city. When hiring a plumber it's important to ensure they have the proper certification to install a backflow preventer on your property. Another thing to look for is experience and reliability — look for a plumber that has a good reputation in the area, is known for providing top quality service, and does good work.
In Toronto, plumbers and technicians must possess an Ontario Water Works Association (OWWA) or equivalent certification as a Cross Connection Control/Backflow Prevention Specialist in addition to a master plumber or journeyman plumber with a contractor licence.
A backflow preventer is a device used to prevent potable water supplies and the unwanted reversal of water flow into your plumbing system. It ensures the drinking water in your home or business is protected from pollutants, contaminants, infectious agents and other substances from getting into your water supply.
Backflow preventers are commonly installed at the water connection from city lines to your property. They can also be installed at or near your water meter and other areas where a potable water system connects with a non-potable water system. Examples of these cross connections found in homes include washers, dishwashers and fire sprinkler systems.
