RPZ Made Easy (To Understand)

RPZ valves are also called backflow devices.  What does RPZ mean?  It stands for Reduced Pressure Zone.  Why is it so important to many Chattanooga area plumbing systems?  Well, how about protecting the quality of your drinking water so that it remains free of contaminants and keeps your family healthy?

When a home in our area is equipped with an irrigation system or a fire suppression unit RPZ valves become required items in your castle.  Contaminants can also enter your irrigation system from fertilizer or pesticides that have been sprayed onto lawns.  In a fire suppression system, water sits stagnant or trapped which leads to a build-up of bacteria.

You are required to have your backflow system checked each year.  For that, the home and business owners of the Chattanooga area can always count on All Home Plumbing.  If you live in our area in or around Chattanooga please call All Home Plumbing for backflow checking or replacement at (423) 598-1466.
