PRESSURE VACUUM BREAKER QUESTION
My water sprinkler system guy tells me that my "Pressure Vacuum
Breaker" may have to be replaced. Unknown to me, it has been leaking. He tells me this is a "backflow" device that keeps the irrigation water separated from the home-use water. This concerns me from a heath perspective. Can the two water supplies mix if the backflow is not working properly? He say it costs about $200 (including labor) to replace the entire device. Is this price reasonable? Would appreciate responses from posters familiar with such systems and this backflow device. Thanks in advance -- Brian. |
