In 1933, Chicago hosted the World''s Fair and, unintentionally, a backflow disaster. The sewage and plumbing systems in Chicago at the time were undersized, and the influx of visitors led to disease caused by a contaminated water supply. Around 100 deaths and over 1000 cases of amoebic dysentery later, people realized that backflow …

To prevent backflow, as well as back siphonage, a backflow preventer incorporates a series of check points that respond to pressure. These points are check valves that open and close, allowing upflow travel and stopping reverse travel. There are two gates (i.e. check valves), an empty space between them, and a diaphragm that is …

At lower risk levels (Categories 1 and 2), single check valves effectively safeguard against backflow. These valves allow water to flow in one direction only, preventing reverse flow and maintaining water purity. In slightly riskier environments (Category 3), double check valves offer extra protection by incorporating two check …

Backflow is the unwanted reverse flow of water from a property back into the water supply. In simple terms, used water that may be contaminated goes back into our drinking water and could end up in someone''s glass. This can occur when there is a sudden differential in water pressure, such as when there is a break in a water main, when a large ...
