Backlflow Preventer Devices

Backflow devices are mandated by all cities for sprinkler systems. Most cities require a permit and a licensed professional to install or repair a Backflow Prevention Device. There are various manufacturers of Professional Backflow Preventer Devices. What are known as Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB's) and Reduced Pressure Assembly (RPA's) are made by Febco, Watts, and Wilkins.


A backflow prevention device is fairly self descriptive. It prevents contaminents from flowing from your lawn & garden sprinkler system back into the city's water main at your point of connection.

This truly is a protection of You and Your Families Health & Safety.

As an example, lets say there was a fire in your neighborhood (Greenwood Village, Ken Caryl Ranch, Arvada, Cherry Hills, or Golden) and the fire department hooked up to a near by hydrant. This would cause back siphonage from the lawn sprinkler system into the Denver city main. If some fertilizer, herbicide or pesticide used on your landscaping circulated back into the city water main it would most likely flow back through your families faucets.

This is why it is so important to have a properly installed Lawn Sprinkler System by a Licensed and Insured Professional. Not all products sold as Backflow Prevention Devices are approved by your local municipality (Lonetree, Denver, Lakewood, Englewood, or Littleton). Licensed Professionals will make sure you have the right type of Backflow prevention device to meet your needs. Also, all municipalities require companies to be licensed to perform any form of repair on a Backflow Prevention Device.

Most Pressure Vacuum Breakers (PVB's) need to be twelve (12) or eighteen (18) inches above the highest sprinkler head or emitter from your
Drip System. Yet if you use a Reduced Pressure Assembly (RPA) or a Double Check Valve Assembly you can have them closer to the ground if not underground. There are other special regulations which vary from city to city as the installation of Backflow Devices.
