We are experts in cross connections and offer a variety of backflow services.
Potable water becoming contaminated by non-potable water is known as backflow, and it’s something that cross-connection control specialists like us are trained to prevent and resolve. At Q-TEC Water Works, we are licensed cross-connection control specialists who provide a variety of backflow services to protect the potable water supply. We can install backflow prevention, systems designed with valves that keep clean and dirty water sources from meeting and contaminating the municipal water supply. We also provide backflow testing, inspections, repairs, and specialty services in Simcoe County, Ontario.
When you turn on the tap or allow water to drain, you may not think much further about the mechanics involved. Potable water flowing into a building comes from an incoming water line, while wastewater exits through the sewer line. However, while these processes are separate, cross connections do exist.
Cross connections are actual or potential points where potable water may become contaminated by non-potable water. Some notable examples of these connections include the following:
- Lawn sprinklers with a submerged inlet
- Fire sprinkler systems
- A utility sink with a submerged inlet
- Swimming pools
- A water supply line to a water heater
