WHY BACKFLOW PREVENTION MATTERS
Protect Your Irrigation System & Water Supply
A backflow preventer is designed to stop water from flowing backward from an irrigation system into the potable water supply.
For sprinkler and irrigation systems, backflow can occur when changes in water pressure cause water to move in the wrong direction. A properly installed and functioning backflow prevention device helps protect against that reverse flow.
Backflow assemblies can also develop leaks, worn components, freeze damage, or other problems that affect how they operate. Regular testing and timely repairs help identify issues before they become larger system problems.
For applicable testable assemblies, Salt Lake City requires backflow testing after installation and on an annual basis..
Why Water Wise
Local Backflow Service With Clear Recommendations
Irrigation-Focused Experience
Backflow assemblies are an important part of many sprinkler and irrigation systems. We look at the backflow device in context with the system it protects.
Testing & System Checks
We help determine whether your backflow preventer is functioning correctly or needs repair, replacement, or further attention.
Freeze-Damage Awareness
Exposed backflow assemblies can be vulnerable during Utah winters. We inspect for leaks and visible damage that may appear when irrigation systems return to service.
Clear Repair Guidance
If something is wrong, we explain whether repair or replacement makes sense before additional work moves forward.

BUILT FOR UTAH IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
Backflow Service Beyond the Quick Fix
A backflow preventer does not operate in isolation. It is part of the larger irrigation system, which means leaks, pressure problems, freeze damage, or improper shutdown can sometimes affect more than one component.
Water Wise takes a practical approach by identifying the problem first and recommending the appropriate next step, whether that means testing, repair, replacement, or addressing another irrigation issue.

Backflow Preventer FAQs
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a backflow preventer?
A backflow preventer is a device or assembly designed to stop water from reversing direction and flowing from an irrigation system back into the potable water supply.
For lawn sprinkler systems, it helps protect the water supply from potential cross-connections between irrigation water and drinking water.
How often does a backflow preventer need to be tested in Salt Lake City?
Salt Lake City Public Utilities states that applicable testable backflow prevention assemblies must be tested annually and after installation.
Testing should be completed by a properly certified backflow assembly tester, with required results submitted to the appropriate water supplier.
Can a backflow preventer freeze or break during winter?
Yes. Because backflow assemblies may contain water and often include exposed components, freezing temperatures can cause cracking, leaks, or damage if the system is not properly prepared for winter.
If your backflow preventer leaks or appears damaged when the irrigation system starts up in spring, it should be inspected before regular watering begins.
Can a backflow preventer be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
It depends on the condition of the assembly. Some leaking or malfunctioning backflow preventers can be repaired by replacing damaged or worn components.
If the assembly is severely damaged, has failed, or repair is no longer the best long-term option, replacement may be recommended.
Water Wise can inspect the problem and explain the appropriate next step.
When should I schedule backflow service?
Backflow service can matter year-round, but it is especially important before irrigation startup, after winter, or anytime there are signs of leaks, damage, or failure.
Is an irrigation backflow preventer the same as a sprinkler backflow preventer?
In most residential applications, the terms irrigation backflow preventer and sprinkler backflow preventer refer to the backflow prevention assembly protecting the irrigation connection from reverse water flow.
The specific type of assembly required can depend on the irrigation system and local requirements.
