The Importance of Backflow Prevention

Sydney Water details a number of requirements that are detailed on their website.

Any connection to Sydney Water’s pipes, including fire services, need to be protected by installing backflow prevention devices.


Our process:

  • We must assess each site to work out its specific backflow containment needs.

  • We then determine the site’s hazard rating and deduce whether we'll need to install a separate backflow device. 

  • We will then advise you of your backflow requirements and install a backflow prevention device appropriate to your property's hazard rating if needed. We will let you know if the device needs to be tested each year. 

  • Once backflow devices have been installed, only licensed backflow plumbers such as ourselves can test them. Once a test has been done, we will submit the test report to Sydney Water.


What specific backflow device needs to be installed?

  • Registered Break Tank;

  • Reduced Pressure Zone Device;

  • Double Check Valve.

There are three types of backflow protection installation practices:

  • Containment protection;

  • Zone Protection;

  • Individual Protection.
