Going back has never been good! Whether it memories which may be bitter or
sweet or childhood, which one can never go back to, spoken words that cannot be
taken back or actions that cannot be
retracted so why water should flow back?
Backflow can be described as the
unintentional reverse flow of the direction of water. This results in pollution
or contamination of the liquid in the complex drainage system. This reversal of
direction of water flow is harmful for potable water as the ‘bad water’ mixes
with the ‘good water’. If the drain pipeline somehow gets connected to the
drinking water pipeline, this becomes a major health hazard. This contaminated
water may become toxic and cannot be used for any applications.
What
Is A Backflow Test?
A backflow test is quite simple, but should
be done by a professional to ensure that the pipelines don’t have a leakage and
liquid does not mix into each other. A backflow device is basically a Reduced
Pressure Zone device also called as backflow preventers that is installed in most
of the plumbing system to protect the drinking water from contamination.
A trained and experienced plumbing expert can
install the backflow preventer correctly to restrict the backflow in the
system. Dynamerican is one of the
leading companies in USA who have a dedicated team of experts who provide
backflow testing services for your plumbing systems.
Backflow
Preventer Test
Backflow preventers are mechanical devices
which need to be tested periodically to ensure that there is no
cross-connection of the drain water and other water which are used for various
purposes. Any company providing backflow testing services will follow this
general procedure.
Backflow preventer test involves the
following procedure-
- As the water supply needs to be shut, permission is obtained from the owner
- Check the device that is to be tested whether it is a valve or the reduced pressure principle
- The direction of the flow is determined either from the arrow marking or the flow chart provided by the manufacturer
- Clean the test cocks, numbering the same
- Shut off the valve and let the water pressure reduce
- Hook up the testing kit and check
A professionally trained person should be the
one carrying out this backflow preventer test. It may sound easy to do, but
it’s a question of contaminating the water so extend all caution.
