What Is Backflow and Why Does It Matter?
Backflow refers to any condition where potentially contaminated water flows back into pipes that carry potable water. Since that ordinarily involves the flow of water reversing its normal direction, the name “backflow” aptly describes it. Backflow can allow harmful chemicals or biological contaminants to enter your water supply.
Businesses in Florida are required to have backflow prevention devices that isolate their property from supply lines. Homes, however, need them to isolate landscaping irrigation systems. Those can easily break, allowing contaminants from the surrounding soil into supply lines.
Backflow typically occurs in one of two ways. One is due to backpressure. That describes a situation where the pressure in your plumbing exceeds the incoming water pressure. It’s frequently a result of blocked or damaged pipes that lead to over-pressurization. With nowhere else to go, the excess water pressure pushes back against the supply.
The other common cause of backflow is back siphonage. That refers to a partial vacuum forming in a supply line, which draws water out of your plumbing. It can occur during times of extreme water demand. For example, a nearby fire scene may require firefighters to draw vast quantities of water from surrounding hydrants. The sudden change in pressure in the local supply lines could lead to a siphon effect in your plumbing. It can even happen during maintenance of the local water supply system. It can also occur due to unforeseen issues, such as water main breaks.
Water backflow can easily expose potable water lines to the following contaminants:
- Sewage
- Pesticides
- Herbicides
- Household chemicals
