Protect your family by maintaining your sprinkler systems backflow preventer!

Did you know that your sprinkler system in most places,  is required by law to have a backflow device that is maintained and checked by a professional every year?  And even if it isn’t required by law, the only smart choice is to do an annual test to ensure you are protecting your family and pets from cross-contamination.

Your landscape has all sorts of nasty things in it that can make you and your family very sick if you were to drink them.  Things such as chemicals used on your lawns such as fertilizers, pesticides and even animal waste.  All of these harmful things can come back up in your irrigation pipes into your families’ drinking water if you do not stop them by using a backflow preventer.  The backflow preventer is used to protect you when the valve breaks or leaks, which eventually will happen over time.

And remember that if your backflow preventer is not installed correctly it will not work!  Having a professional installation is worth the extra cost to make sure it is done right.  Also, have your backflow preventer checked annually to make sure it is operating properly; it is recommended early spring as you are getting your irrigation system ready for the season.

So protect your families’ health and by maintaining your backflow preventer on your sprinkler system.  It is the only choice!
