Our Backflow Prevention and TMV Services
Backflow prevention ensures that contaminated water does not enter a building's clean water supply. This is important because it can prevent waterborne diseases, protect the public water supply, and ensure the safety of the building's occupants.
Backflow occurs when water in a building's plumbing system flows backward and mixes with the clean water supply. This can happen due to a loss of water pressure in the main supply line or a change in the building's plumbing system, such as a leak.
To prevent backflow, a backflow prevention device is installed in the plumbing system. There are several types of backflow prevention devices, including atmospheric vacuum breakers, double check valve assemblies, and reduced pressure zone devices.
A thermal mixing valve (TMV) is one type of backflow prevention device that helps regulate the temperature of water to prevent scalding. This is especially important in public buildings such as schools and hospitals, where the risk of scalding is high.
TMVs work by mixing hot water with cold water to produce a safe temperature for the end user. They are equipped with temperature sensors that automatically adjust the mix of hot and cold water to maintain a safe temperature.
To make sure that backflow prevention devices and TMVs are working properly, it's important to have them regularly tested and certified. At Penguin Plumbing Solutions you’ll find the experts in this field.
