REPAIR

If a repair is needed for a backflow preventer a written proposal will be prepared by the technician for you. The proposal will state the problem and solution for repair. Once the proposal has been signed and a deposit made the repair will be made. A new testing of the backflow will be completed and paperwork prepared to send to the Water Supplier.

INSTALL

The installation of a backflow preventer is required all commercial locations that presents itself as high or low hazard.

Love Irrigation has two technicians, Paul Love and John Love certified by the State of Mississippi to handle all of your backflow preventer needs such as installation, repair or annual certification. The paperwork will be completed by Love Irrigation and mailed to the water provider for your convenience.

A backflow preventer helps protect potable water supplies from contamination or pollution due to backflow. In water supply systems, water is normally maintained at a significant pressure to enable water to flow from the tap, shower and other locations.

When water pressure falls or is reduced, such as a water main bursting, pipes freezing or there is an unexpectedly high demand on the water system, such reduced pressure in the pipe may allow contaminated water from the ground, storage or other sources to be drawn up into the system.

MAINTENANCE

The Mississippi Department of Health requires all backflow preventers to be tested annually per the MS Code of 1972 Sec 41-26-14. It states: Each high hazard backflow preventer device shall be inspected and tested at least annually. If a high hazard backflow preventer device fails to function properly, the property owner shall have the preventer device repaired and retested or shall install a new approved preventer device within 30 days of the initial test. If a low hazard preventer device fails to function properly, the property owner shall have the preventer device repaired, or shall install a new preventer device, within 90 days after the date the preventer device first fails to function properly.

All inspection and testing of backflow preventer devices under this section shall be conducted by a certified tester, unless otherwise provided in the regulations of the board. Certified backflow preventer device testers shall be licensed by the department under those conditions as the department seems appropriate. If a property owner fails to install a backflow preventer device or fails to have a backflow preventer device tested as required by this section, the public water system may discontinue service to that property owner until the failure is corrected.
