What is Backflow and Why It Matters
Backflow happens when water flows the wrong way, which is back into the mains instead of out through your taps. It’s usually caused by a pressure drop, like a burst pipe or a hydrant in use. When that happens, dirty or contaminated water like soil, chemicals or sewage can get pulled into the clean supply.
To stop this, Sydney Water requires certain properties to have backflow prevention in place, such as RPZ valves.
RPZ Devices and Their Function
Reduced Pressure Zone valves (RPZ valves) are designed to prevent any dirty or contaminated water from flowing back into the clean supply. Places with higher risk such as commercial buildings, workshops or places dealing with chemicals use them. If there’s a sudden drop in pressure, the setup shuts things down and safely releases the water, keeping everything flowing in the right direction.
Who Needs Backflow Prevention in Sydney
Not all homes or sites need a backflow prevention device, but plenty do, especially places that see heavy water use or are classed as higher risk. You’ll usually need a device like an RPZ valve in spots like these:
- Any property with a water meter bigger than 25 mm
- Sites considered medium or high risk due to how the water's used
- Irrigation setups, particularly those using tanks or any kind of chemical treatment
- Local cafés, restaurants and busy commercial kitchens
- Workshops, car washes, mechanics and industrial sheds
- Medical centres, dental clinics, and vet surgeries
- Apartment blocks, townhouses and strata-managed buildings
- Any place that stores or uses chemicals, oils or waste products on-site
Compliance with Sydney Water Regulations
Sydney Water takes backflow prevention seriously, and so do we. Any testable device, like an RPZ valve, has to be inspected by a certified plumber once a year. After we do the test, we submit the report straight to Sydney Water through their online system. We’ve got that part covered. We don’t just test your device, we also sort out the paperwork that follows. No need for you to deal with lodgements or due dates.
