What is RPZ

For those of you who are fans of a certain TV show you might think that RPZ stands for “Really Powerful Zombies”! In fact, RPZ means “reduced pressure zone”. RPZ is used in the plumbing world to protect water supplies from contamination. Irrigation backflow devices are designed to protect against both back siphonage and back pressure of contaminated water into the water supply. These devices are absolutely essential to keep contaminated water from flowing back into the public drinking water. Needless to say that it is EXTREMELY important to have them tested by a plumber that is certified to test for RPZ/backflow. You do not take matters such as this lightly as it effects the public in general not just your own family’s safety.
