Backflow Prevention

Backflow Testing in Chattanooga

Have you heard that you need to have your backflow preventer tested?

You may not even be familiar with what a backflow preventer is, but trust us, isn’t an important component of any irrigation system. At Conserva Irrigation of Chattanooga, we’re licensed to test your preventer to make sure it’s working properly.

In short, a backflow preventer protects the potable, or drinkable, water going into your home. Your irrigation is naturally set up to come into contact with your landscape. Not only does it water your property, but it’s also open to the harsh elements of landscaping, like fertilizer, pesticides, etc.

Backflow happens when there is a drop in water pressure to your home and water that typical wouldn’t be brought back into the home. The prevention device stops any contaminated water from entering your drinkable water, protecting you from sickness.

Conserva Irrigation of Chattanooga is one of the few local companies licensed to test and install backflow prevention devices. It’s recommended that the tool be tested at least once a year. Please call us at (423) 401-9517.
