What is backflow?

Backflow is water that, after use, flows backwards into your pipes. As this is used water, it can be contaminated and harmful to you and your family's health. This is why a backflow prevention device is such a critical component to your plumbing. There are stringent requirements for backflow prevention devices and their installation.

What is a backflow prevention device?

There are several types of backflow prevention devices and you must ensure you have the correct type of device installed at your property.

Our backflow accredited plumbers can assess your property's hazard rating which will determine the type of device that you must have installed.

What type of backflow prevention device do I need?

Your property will be assessed by an accredited backflow plumber to assign a hazard rating for your property. The categorisation will fall into the respective hazard rating if there was an absence of a backflow prevention device:

Low Hazard - May cause a nuisance but not endanger health
Must have non-testable backflow containment device installed

Medium Hazard - May endanger health
Must get a testable double check valve assembly installed

High Hazard - May cause death
Must get a registered break tank, reduced pressure zone or registered air gap installed

Backflow prevention installation & Testing

Backflow prevention devices must be installed in compliance with the Australian Standard AS2845: Water Supply - Backflow Prevention Devices Requirements . Only accredited plumbers with a backflow prevention license can install and test backflow prevention devices.

After installation of a medium or high hazard backflow device, Leak Free Plumbing will send a certificate of compliance to the QLD government to register your backflow prevention device.

Low hazard backflow prevention devices do not need to be tested annually, but medium and high hazard properties must be tested by an accredited plumber every year after installation.
