I was right.

The physical or piezometric level of the fluid in any part of the receptacle a minimum of two seconds after closing the water inlet, starting from maximum water level.

Thanks. In that case, I don't think I'll worry too much. It would take

even so, the pipework is long enough to ensure that even if there were
some backflow, it wouldn't get as far as the public maims.
