We Test All Types
Types of Backflow Preventers We Test in Spring, TX
🔵
Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB)
The most common residential backflow device in Spring, TX. Mounted above ground, protects against back-siphonage, and must be installed correctly to pass annual testing. Not rated for back-pressure — suitable for standard residential irrigation.
🔴
Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ)
Highest level of backflow protection — required for commercial properties, properties near Spring Creek, and systems with chemical injection such as fertilizer systems. Contains two check valves and a differential pressure relief valve. Annual testing required.
🟡
Double Check Valve (DCVA)
Provides moderate backflow protection for low-hazard applications. Contains two independently operating check valves in series, typically installed in below-grade valve boxes. Common in commercial irrigation setups and older construction properties.
🟢
Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB)
The simplest form of backflow protection — a single check valve with an air vent. Approved for individual zone valves only, in systems without continuous pressure. Many older Spring, TX systems have AVBs on each zone rather than a whole-system assembly.
