COMMON BACKFLOW / CROSS CONNECTION CONTROL

Q: Who’s responsible for maintaining Annual Inspections?
A: The owner or owners authorized agent are responsible for carrying out the provisions of the code and ensuring that the protection shall be maintained in operating condition at all times.

Q: What is a cross-connection?
A: A cross-connection is any temporary or permanent connection between a public water system or consumer’s potable (i.e., drinking) water system and any source or system containing non-potable water or other substances. An example of this is piping between a public water system and an end users commercial dishwashing machine.

Q: What is a “Backflow” condition?
A: Backflow is the undesirable reversal of flow of non-potable water or other substances through a cross-connection and into the piping of a public water system or consumer’s potable water system. There are two types of backflow… backsiphonage and backpressure.

Backsiphonage is backflow caused by a negative pressure (i.e., a vacuum or partial vacuum) in a Public water system or consumer’s potable water system.
Backpressure backflow is backflow caused by a downstream pressure that is greater than the upstream or supply pressure in a public water system or end users potable water system

Q: What is a Backflow Prevention Device?
A: A backflow preventer is a means or mechanism to prevent a “backflow” condition. The basic means of preventing backflow is an air gap, which either eliminates a cross-connection or provides a barrier to backflow. The standard mechanism for preventing backflow is a mechanical backflow preventer, which provides a physical barrier to backflow. The principal types of mechanical backflow preventer are the reduced-pressure principle assembly, the pressure vacuum breaker assembly, and the double check valve assembly. A secondary type of mechanical backflow preventer is the residential dual check valve.
