What is Backpressure?

0

Backpressure is created when the pressure in a private non-drinking water system, such as in a recirculating system containing soap, acid or antifreeze exceeds the pressure in the public drinking water system that it is connected to. This could force contaminated water to enter the public drinking water system.

Backpressure is the reversal of normal flow in a system due to an increase in the downstream or customers pressure above that of the supply pressure.
