| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses methods of preventing backflow and their levels of effectiveness. Points out that true physical separation between the piping systems is the safest method of preventing backflow, but also the most expensive and impractical. Explains that Atmospheric and Pressure Vacuum Breakers are both good methods for individual residences where back siphoning can occur but can be aesthetically unpleasing. Also mentions that the Double Check Valve assembly is the most aesthetically pleasing option, and the Reduced Pressure Backflow Assembly is the most effective irrigation backflow preventer. |
