Keep Your Home’s Water Supply Healthy and Safe
Caring for a lawn or landscape takes more than just a healthy dose of water. The proper backflow protection is vital to your family’s health. This is how the state defines a situation requiring protection: “Any Irrigation system connected to a potable water source shall be protected against backflow by a backflow device.” Call to learn more!

There are many toxic chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides, as well as manure and other contaminants that can become a real health hazard if they should get into the water supply. That’s why it’s important to stop these and other pollutants from getting into your drinking water. To make sure that never happens, we provide our customers with a sprinkler system backflow preventer test.

Why It’s Important to Have a Sprinkler System Backflow Preventer
The backflow is usually located next to the foundation on the same side of your home as your water service.
The backflow preventer serves as a preventative measure against contaminating the potable water supply and a place where if a leak were to occur, the system could be isolated.

Why Backflow Preventer Testing?
There are a few reasons why it is important to have a backflow preventer, while providing irrigation for the lawn and landscape around the home.
- Reduces the risk of contaminated water leaking into the water supply
- Ensures water is suitable for drinking and other common uses
- Keeps the water pressure even to prevent backpressure in the irrigation system
In New Jersey, there are only two (2) devices allowed by the State for correct backflow protection and they are used for different situations. One is a Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) and the other is a Reduced Pressure Vacuum Breaker (RPVB).
A PVB is called for when the device can be installed twelve (12) inches above the highest sprinkler head. The RPVB is to be used when the device is less than twelve (12) inches above the highest sprinkler head along with some installation restrictions. The majority of installations require the PVB and it is the standard of the industry.
Please be sure that the contractor you have gotten an estimate from is giving you a price that has the proper backflow device included. Also, please be sure that the contractor is State Certified. A State Certified Landscape Irrigation Contractor is required to display his Certification number on his trucks.
