BACK FLOW PREVENTION
In water supply systems, water is normally maintained at a significant pressure to enable water to flow from the tap, shower etc.
When pressure fails or is reduced as may happen when a water main bursts, pipe freezes or there is unexpectedly high demand of the water system, the pressure in the pipe may be reduced and may allow contaminated water from the ground, from storage from other sources to be drawn into the system.
