 IQP - backflow testing and survey
The possibility of water contamination has become an area of concern for councils and building owners.
A number of simple devices are available that ensure that water can only pass through a pipeline in one direction. The type of backflow device recommended depends on the type of work being carried out on the private water supply system and whether the risk of contamination is assessed as high, medium or low a contact one of our IQP (independent qualified person) to check ensure your responsibilities are being met.

What is backflow?
Backflow can occur when the water supply pressure at a private property is greater than the mains water pressure in the public water supply system and water flows backwards along a private pipe to the public water supply. There are two main types of backflow:

  • Back siphonage-Siphonage occurs when a temporary drop in water pressure occurs and water is siphoned into the mains water pipeline e.g. when a contractor is carrying out a repair to a water supply main at the same time as a property owner in the area is filling a swimming pool with a hose. The chlorinated swimming pool water may inadvertently be siphoned into the mains water supply system and contaminate the public water supply.
  • Backpressure occurs when pressure in the private water supply is greater than the actual mains pressure and water is forced back into the mains water supply system.

Backflow can result in contamination of our public water supply and affect the quality of water you receive.
