Tip #13: Irrigation Backflow Prevention


Yes my tips are meant to help with water efficiency but I think Smart Irrigation Month is really about more than just that and being "smart" overall. What's not smart? Not having a backflow prevention device - a testable one. Although a dual check and double check sound the same they are very different. A double check backflow prevention device offers you the highest level of protection for you and your family from a potentially toxic situation. A double check is not meant for a situation such as this. Not sure if you have either - check near your water meter for a device that looks like this one. If you don't have it, for the safety of not only your family but everyone around you, get one.
