Backflow Prevention: The Last Line of Defense for Plumbing-System SafetyBy JOHN VASTYAN, Common Ground, Manheim, Pa. In a piping system, water is intended to flow in one direction: from the supply to the point of delivery. Danger lurks when the pressure in a system exceeds the pressure of the supply. Anytime pressure in a system drops, even momentarily, the system is subject to backflow, back pressure, or back siphonage, opening the door to contamination. This can happen all too easily when a water main is shut off, a water main is broken, or water demand surges in a specific area. |
