What Are RPZs and Backflow Devices?
Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) devices and other backflow prevention devices are plumbing fixtures that guard your potable water supply against backflow. Backflow refers to an undesirable reversal in the flow of water that can introduce contaminants like fertilizers, pesticides, sewage, and other harmful substances into the clean water supply.
An RPZ is a type of backflow prevention device that stops water from flowing back into the main water supply. Using two check valves and an intermediate relief valve that acts as a failsafe, these devices prevent the risk of waterborne illnesses. That’s why they are required in most commercial situations by state and local water safety regulations.
