What is a Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) assembly?

A Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) assembly is a type of backflow preventer that creates a zone of reduced pressure between two check valves.

It is designed to protect water supplies from high-hazard situations, where a potential risk of contamination is present.

Are backflow devices and RPZ assemblies required in Texas?

Yes, backflow devices and RPZ assemblies are required in Texas to protect potable water supplies from contamination.

What Are RPZs and Backflow Devices?

Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) devices and backflow preventers safeguard our drinking water from contamination due to backflow. Backflow happens when water flows in reverse, bringing pollutants like pesticides and fertilizers into the clean water supply. RPZs help keep the water we use for drinking, cooking, and cleaning safe and clean.

Backflow devices create a barrier to stop water from returning to the main supply after passing through. Our technicians install and maintain these devices to reduce waterborne illness risks and comply with local and state water safety regulations.
