Backflow Device Installation and Testing
At Jack The Plumbing and Gas, we specialise in the installation and testing of backflow prevention devices for residential, commercial, and industrial properties throughout Adelaide. Ensuring your water supply remains safe from contamination is essential, and our licensed and accredited plumbers are equipped to handle all your backflow prevention needs.
What is a Backflow Prevention Device?
A backflow prevention device, commonly known as a Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) valve, is designed to protect your potable water supply from contamination or pollution. When water pressure drops significantly, such as during a burst pipe or a system failure, contaminated water can flow back into the main water supply, posing health risks.
By installing a backflow prevention device, you ensure that your water remains clean and safe for consumption. At Jack The Plumbing and Gas, we are fully qualified and accredited to install these devices in compliance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.1.
Backflow Device Installation Services
Installing a backflow device is not just a safety measure; it’s a legal requirement for properties that pose a medium to high hazard risk of backflow. Our team is experienced in installing backflow prevention devices to protect Adelaide homes and businesses, ensuring full compliance with all regulations. Whether you’re building a new property or upgrading your plumbing system, our professional installation services will safeguard your water supply from contamination risks.
Annual Backflow Device Testing and Certification
In addition to installation, annual backflow device testing is mandatory under South Australian law. This testing ensures that your device is functioning correctly and continues to protect your water supply. Failure to conduct annual testing can result in penalties from your local council or the Office of the Technical Regulator (OTR).
At Jack The Plumbing and Gas, we provide certified annual testing services for all backflow devices. Our licensed plumbers will perform the required tests and submit all necessary documentation to the OTR, giving you peace of mind that your property remains compliant and your water supply is safe.
