backflödesprevention
Backflödesprevention, or backflow prevention, refers to methods and devices used to stop contaminated water from entering the potable water supply. This contamination can occur when there is a change in pressure within the water system, causing water to flow in the reverse direction from its intended path. Such a reversal is known as backflow.
There are two primary mechanisms that cause backflow: back-pressure and backsiphonage. Back-pressure occurs when the pressure
Common backflow prevention devices include vacuum breakers, atmospheric vacuum breakers, pressure vacuum breakers, and reduced pressure
Maintaining a safe potable water supply is crucial for public health. Backflow prevention devices are essential
