IRRIGATION BACKFLOW TEST

Like other home appliances, your irrigation system needs regular maintenance and tests. Our sprinkler system services include a backflow test, which checks an important feature in your system. 

 

Every sprinkler system is outfitted with a backflow preventer, which keeps water that has been used for irrigation away from your drinking water lines. Backflow refers to used water that is often contaminated with fertilizers, pesticides, and other harmful chemicals. If your backflow preventer isn’t working correctly, this water could end up in the drinking water supply for you and your neighbors. Sprinkler owners are responsible for testing the backflow preventer each year to ensure that it’s working properly. 

 

Since the backflow mechanism is internal, it’s impossible to tell whether or not it is working unless you get it tested professionally. Aquascapes Irrigation offers sprinkler services of all kinds. We will make sure that your backflow valve is working or alert you immediately if it isn’t. Sometimes the problem is quite simple, like a broken o-ring or a stray piece of debris. After we repair your sprinklers, we’ll make sure your sprinkler system startup is still smooth and reliable.

 

We understand how vital this service is, and we check thoroughly to make sure you and your family are safe. For more information on backflow preventers and sprinkler systems in Lexington, KY, please call us at (859) 213-3795.
