Devices we service
If you have it installed, we can test it, repair it, or replace it. Here's a quick guide to the device types we work with daily across South Florida.
Backflow assemblies are matched to the hazard level of what's downstream. Here are the five most common types you'll see in Florida.
High-hazard applications: irrigation with chemicals, boilers, processing.
Two independent check valves separated by a relief valve. The highest level of protection — required wherever contamination could harm potable water.
Fire suppression lines with meter bypass for leak detection.
Two checks plus a metered bypass that catches small leaks or unauthorized water use on fire systems.
Low-hazard cross connections such as commercial heating loops.
Two spring-loaded check valves in series. Used where the substance is non-toxic but still undesirable in the drinking supply.
Residential and commercial irrigation, low-hazard.
Single check with an air inlet. Must be installed at least 12″ above the highest downstream outlet. Cannot be subjected to back-pressure.
Indoor low-hazard applications where spillage is unacceptable.
Similar to a PVB but with a spill-resistant design for indoor installations.
