What are some common examples of cross-connections that need to be protected with a backflow prevention assembly?
Residential: Lawn irrigation systems, Boilers, Garden hoses – A garden hose with all the uses and attachments that you can connect to a hose makes it a number one source for cross-connection to your potable water supply. Commercial: Landscape irrigation, Boilers, Fire Service Protection, Film Processors, and Post Mix Soda Machines – If carbonization enters into a copper tube plumbing system it reacts with copper and causes copper poison. These are just a few of the cross-connections to our potable water systems.
