As a homeowner, you should consider a preventer if you have a well. It will protect that water supply. You may also need a backwater valve for your sewer line to prevent the backflow of sewage.
Commercial backflow prevention is a legal requirement in Tennessee for most commercial sites. Your prevention equipment must meet code for your particular type of site.
The state requires an annual inspection, and you must provide that documentation to the state. If a preventer fails the inspection, you’ll then have a certain amount of time in which to carry out the needed repairs or upgrades.
The state only requires backflow preventer installation for some residences. The vast majority of homeowners aren’t legally required. That said, you still may want to consider it. You certainly want a backflow preventer if you have a well. Decontaminating a well can be a very expensive process.
Even if you have municipal water, you may want to consider this measure. If your property contributes to contamination, you may be liable. The other application is a backflow preventer for your sewer system. It’s recommended in certain scenarios to prevent sewage from entering the home’s water pipes.
There are a variety of backflow preventer types. The air gap approach involves a physical separation that is at least twice the diameter of the supply pipe. Pressure and non-pressure vacuum breakers are common when there’s risk of back-siphonage. There are also spill-resistant vacuum breakers, double-check valves, double-check detectors, reduce-pressure principal, and reduce-pressure principal detector assemblies.
