RPZ - Backflow Testing Certification - Inspections

RPZ devices are designed to prevent backflow by creating a physical barrier between the potable water supply and any potential sources of contamination, such as irrigation systems, fire sprinklers, or chemical feeders. In the event of a backflow situation, the RPZ device will divert the contaminated water to a drain, rather than allowing it to enter the potable water supply. An RPZ device is typically required when there is a potential for backflow of non-potable water or other substances into the potable water supply. If you don’t have an RPZ device when its required, you could be at risk of contaminating the potable water supply.

It’s important to note that the requirements for RPZ devices can vary depending on the specific jurisdiction and the type of facility. If you have questions about RPZ devices or backflow prevention requirements in your area, call H.T. Strenger your RPZ experts.
