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.

Let the pros at Quality Irrigation come out and inspect your irrigation system for breaks or leaks, and ensure that you have a safe and secure water supply for your sprinkler system.
Backflow Conditions
In the event of a water main break or a major power outage, a backflow condition can occur. This will cause the water from your irrigation system to be pulled into the potable side of your water supply creating contamination. A backflow preventer is the key device in keeping your family and community safe and the water supply pure.
