Introduction: Backflow Preventer

A reliable backflow preventer is essential for protecting your drinking water. Backflow occurs when pressure drops, contaminating your clean water supply. Our certified backflow preventers ensure this doesn't happen. Make My Yard offers a comprehensive selection from top brands like Apollo, Febco, and Zurn Wilkins, with products meeting all national safety standards.

 

Choose the right backflow preventers

Choosing the right backflow preventer can be complex. Here's a quick guide to the most common types:

🟧Reduced Pressure Principle Assemblies (RPAs): The most reliable option, offering the highest level of protection for high-hazard applications.

🟧Pressure Vacuum Breakers (PVBs): Ideal for low-hazard applications like irrigation systems, protecting against back-siphonage.

🟧Double Check Assemblies (DCAs): Used for low-hazard environments, they provide effective protection against both back-pressure and back-siphonage.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What size do I need?
The correct size is based on your pipe diameter and system's flow rate. Most homes use ¾-inch or 1-inch devices. If you're unsure, consult a plumber.

2. Are they code-compliant?
Our products meet national standards, but you should always check with your local water authority to confirm specific requirements for your area.

3. What's the difference between residential and commercial backflow?
The main difference is capacity and flow rate. Residential models are for lower volumes, while commercial models are designed for much higher volumes and pressures.

4. What if my old unit is leaking?
A leaking unit is a sign of failure and should be replaced. The model and size are usually stamped on the unit's body to help you find a new one.

5. Is there a warranty?
Yes, all products come with a manufacturer's limited warranty, typically lasting one year. For details, refer to the product documentation.
