Keeping your property’s water supply free from contaminants is essential for a healthy and safe environment. Backflow testing in Melbourne helps protect drinking water from potential contamination. Whether you own a home or a business, relying on expert backflow testing services ensures that your water remains pure, meets local safety regulations, and helps prevent any harmful substances from affecting your supply.
What is Backflow Prevention?
Backflow prevention is the process of stopping contaminated water from flowing back into the main water supply. This can happen due to changes in water pressure, allowing pollutants, chemicals, and bacteria to enter the system. To prevent this, specialised backflow prevention devices are installed in plumbing systems, allowing only clean water to flow into homes and businesses.
