With more than 60 years' experience under our belts, the team at Edwards Plumbing in Murwillumbah is equipped with the necessary skills to provide backflow prevention services including installations, submissions to council and annual maintenance.

Backflow devices prevent grey (non-potable) water from flowing into the drinking (potable) water system. They are commonly used when a property has:

• Irrigation systems
• Fire hydrants or hose reels
• Rainwater tanks connected to mains water
• Machinery connected to mains water
• Water outlets located close to contaminants

Owners of properties must test their backflow devices annually as required by local councils. Once we’ve completed testing, we’ll provide you with a certificate you can submit to the council—it’s that easy! 

In the case of a defective or malfunctioning backflow valve, you may notice water leaks and wastage. Chemicals and other contaminants may infiltrate your drinking water supply, which can pose a health risk to you and your family. You may also notice that the water pressure coming from your taps or showerheads has changed.

A regular maintenance schedule will ensure that you avoid these problems. The reliability of your device is important, which is why we provide routine servicing to ensure it is working efficiently and to replace or repair it as necessary.
