Understanding Backflow and Its Risks

Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction than intended, potentially introducing contaminants into the clean water supply. This can happen due to:

  • Back-siphonage: Negative pressure in the supply line.
  • Back-pressure: Higher pressure in the private system than the public supply.

Risks of backflow include:

  • Introduction of chemicals, bacteria, or other pollutants into drinking water.
  • Potential health hazards for building occupants.
  • Contamination of the public water supply.
