New Zealand has strict legislation to prevent backflow and protect the safety of our water.

The Building Act 2004 requires all buildings to have a safe and adequate water supply. If there is any likelihood of contamination from a cross connection, an approved backflow prevention device is required to eliminate it, ensuring that all end users are protected against contaminated water. To maintain a current building warrant of fitness all backflow devices must be inspected and tested annually, by an Independently Qualified Person (IQP).

At Elite Plumbing and Gas, we offer a backflow philosophy service for buildings that require this, and can install, maintain and service backflow prevention units.
