Backflow Prevention Testing
Protecting Water Quality and Compliance
At PMP Fire Services, we understand the critical importance of maintaining a safe and uncontaminated water supply. Our backflow prevention testing services are designed to ensure that your water system is fully compliant with health and safety regulations, and that it operates effectively to protect against the risk of contamination.
What is Backflow Prevention?
Backflow occurs when there is a reversal in the flow of water in a water system, which can lead to contaminants entering the potable water supply (Water Corporation Supply Network). This can happen due to changes in pressure in the water system, such as backpressure or back-siphonage. Backflow prevention devices are essential to prevent this risk, ensuring that drinking water remains safe from pollutants and hazards.
