What is Backflow?
Backflow occurs when clean (potable) water reverses direction due to a pressure change. This reversal can create suction, pulling contaminated water into your clean water supply. The contaminants may include fertilizers, pesticides, chemicals, or other harmful substances that pose serious health risks.
Plumbing Codes in Bradenton, FL
In Bradenton and throughout Manatee County, plumbing codes require backflow prevention devices in most commercial buildings and certain residential properties where cross-connections exist. These devices must be tested annually by a certified technician to remain compliant with local regulations.
In commercial settings, backflow regulators are commonly installed on irrigation systems, fire sprinkler systems, boilers, restaurant soda machines, and industrial water lines—anywhere the risk of cross-contamination is present. These safeguards ensure your property stays within code while protecting public health.
