What is backflow?
Backflow is the undesirable reversal in the flow of water from a real or potential source of contamination back to the potable, or clean, water supply. For example, consider having a garden hose in a bucket of soapy water, and having a backflow event occur, causing the soapy water to backflow into the drinking water in your home.
