Norman Air always recommends installing a backflow prevention device in any Oklahoma City Metro Area home where clean, incoming water and wastewater have a chance of being cross-connected. This ultimately ends up protecting you and your Oklahoma City Metro Area home by keeping your drinking, bathing, and cleaning water safe to use. If you do not already have a backflow prevention device installed, call the experts at Norman Air.
There are several signs you can look for in your Oklahoma City Metro Area home that indicate when your backflow prevention device has failed or malfunctioned. Your water may become discolored, begin to taste or smell bad, or may even have visible particles floating in it. If you notice any problems with your Oklahoma City Metro Area home’s water, contact the professionals at Norman Air right away for emergency plumbing services.
A backflow prevention device is an important part of your Oklahoma City Metro Area home’s plumbing system. It works to protect your clean, potable water from becoming contaminated or polluted from backflow, which is wastewater that attempts to flow backwards in the pipes, back into your home. Backflow prevention devices are necessary to maintain the health of both you and your family, which is why Norman Air highly recommends that each Oklahoma City Metro Area home have a backflow prevention device installed.
Norman Air recommends frequent backflow testing for Oklahoma City Metro Area homes. Having the professional team of plumbers at Norman Air perform regular backflow testing will help them to catch any potential issues with your backflow prevention device before they get worse. The experts at Norman Air suggest that Oklahoma City Metro Area homeowners should schedule annual backflow tests to ensure that their water remains safe and uncontaminated.
When a Norman Air plumber conducts a backflow test, they will turn off the downstream shut-off valve, wait a few minutes, and then test the pressure in the system by using a special backflow testing kit. They will make sure to look for any irregularities, as well as any problems within your plumbing system that they can repair before they turn into major issues. This will ensure that your Oklahoma City Metro Area home’s water supply remains free of contamination and safe to drink.
Having a Norman Air professional conduct a simple backflow test on a regular basis can bring a lot of benefits to your Oklahoma City Metro Area home. Regular backflow testing from Norman Air can prevent huge problems in your plumbing system, expensive repairs, and health hazards. Backflow testing ensures that your clean drinking water is kept separate from the wastewater that has been flushed or drained out of your Oklahoma City Metro Area home.
A reduced pressure zone device (RPZD) is ideal for Oklahoma City Metro Area homes with high hazard water contaminants. An RPZD has two check valves and a chamber between the valves to monitor the pressure within your water pipes. They effectively prevent contaminated water from flowing back into your home, ensuring that your potable water supply remains clean and usable.
The air gap backflow prevention device is one of the most popular and effective backflow preventers. Air gap preventers have a physical break between the water supply line and the water container. That way, contaminated water will remain in the correct water pipes, and won’t enter fixtures like your sink’s faucets, or your showerhead.
An atmospheric vacuum breaker, also known as a pressure vacuum breaker, is an elbow-shaped device that is typically installed with underground lawn sprinklers. Atmospheric vacuum breakers have an internal valve that prevents backflow, and since they depend on pressure to function, they are installed downstream. That way, the contaminated water will flow downstream and exit the pipes without allowing pressure to build up in your pipes.
Dual check valves are often used in residential homes to deter backflow from cross-connections, where the wastewater lines from other Oklahoma City Metro Area homes meet to be disposed of properly. They do have a limited use, which is why it’s important to consult with a Norman Air expert to find out if a dual check valve is right for your Oklahoma City Metro Area home.
An automatic flood gate valve depends on air pressure to function properly. They are fully automatic, and work like a floodgate would. Automatic flood gate valves use air pressure to stop dirty or contaminated wastewater from entering your Oklahoma City Metro Area home’s main water system.
