Backflow Testing

Why do I need my backflow device inspected according to state and local codes?

IT IS THE LAW
Check with your local water purveyor (i.e. City of Houston, Katy, Eco Resources, Severn Trent, etc.) for local requirements on backflow testing.

FOR THE SAFETY OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY
Avoid contaminating the potable water supply. Back-siphonage (the reversal of normal flow of water in a sprinkler system) can cause contaminates and toxins, such as pesticides in your lawn, or animal goodies to flow from your lawn irrigation system into domestic water lines. In order to avoid these liabilities, you, as a homeowner, should contact a certified backflow assembly tester.

Please contact Five Star Sprinklers to schedule an appointment for a licensed inspector to test your sprinkler system’s PVB annually.
