Backflow Testing
protect your water supply
Every sprinkler system in Fort Collins should be equipped with an approved backflow device. This funny looking thing is the most important part of your sprinkler system because it protects your family’s drinking water.
The device is typically installed between the water coming from your home and your sprinkler irrigation system. It’s purpose is to prevent contaminants such as animal waste, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. from entering your home’s water supply, through the sprinkler system, when there is a back pressure condition.
We suggests annual backflow device testing to ensure these often overlooked components are functioning properly. Click here to read more about the city backflow testing requirements.
