Sprinkler Backflow Prevention
Sprinkler Backflow Prevention & Inspections
Sprinkler and irrigation systems must contain sprinkler backflow prevention devices to protect the drinking water system from accidental contamination. Regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, this is why cities around the Houston-Bay Area including Clear Lake City, League City, Seabrook, Pasadena, and local water districts, require these safety devices and yearly inspections.
Common Backflow Repair Issues
Water backflow can be a serious issue when it comes to maintaining the quality of our local water supply. Two types of backflow issues are most common: back-siphonage and backpressure.
- Back-siphonage happens when there is a drop in pressure in the city’s main water line, causing fertilizers, pesticides, manures, and other contaminants to flow back into the potable water supply.
- Backpressure usually occurs when a lawn sprinkler pump or injector system is improperly installed, leading to the same contamination risk.
Certified Backflow Prevention Technicians Available
Certified backflow technicians are responsible for the testing and certification of these backflow prevention devices. Additionally, permits may be required for installing sprinkler systems that require backflow prevention devices.
