What Does a Backflow Preventer Do?

The water entering your home from the main water supply line should always flow in one direction. When pressure fluctuates in your pipes, the result can be backflow into the main water supply line. This can cause all kinds of hazardous contaminants to enter your drinking water, including fertilizers, human waste, chlorine, and soap scum. A backflow prevention system is a unique device that keeps backflow problems from affecting your main water supply line. After being installed on the pipe, the backflow preventer will monitor water flow and stop the flow of water, should it detect backflow into the main water supply. This ensures that you stay safe and protected, all year long!

Cesar Rubio from Genz-Ryan did a FANTASTIC job replacing our 20 year-old water heater, water softener, and associated plumbing! Our hot water was not as hot as usual, so we called Genz-Ryan. Cesar came out and did a check of our hot water system and uncovered several ticking time bombs: our hot water heater was full of sediment which was masking a leak; the bell valve was failing so our water pressure was too high; and our water out of the tap was very “hard” showing the water softener was failing. We wanted to fix all of those problems immediately, so Cesar pulled up several options on his iPad and we were able to order replacement parts and labor on the spot. Cesar spent the remainder of his Friday afternoon disconnecting the failed water heater and softener, to get ready for the install of the new parts on Saturday morning. (He made sure we had full running water overnight!) We’re very impressed with the new hot water system! And we’re very impressed with Cesar! He clearly explained all of the work he was doing along the way, and everything looks solid and clean. We’re very fortunate to have had him help us. He’s a talented plumber, a proud father, and an extremely nice person. Thank you, Cesar and Genz-Ryan!!
