Common Questions
FAQs
What is backflow prevention?
A backflow prevention device stops contaminated water from flowing back into the mains drinking water supply. They're required on properties where there's a risk of cross-connection.
How often do backflow devices need to be tested?
Annually — NSW regulations require all registered testable backflow devices to be tested by a certified tester every 12 months.
What happens if I don't test my backflow device?
Sydney Water can issue notices and fines for non-compliant properties. Untested devices can also fail silently, creating a contamination risk.
Do residential properties need backflow devices?
Some do — especially properties with irrigation systems, pools, or other non-drinking water connections to the mains. We can advise whether your property requires one.
