A very common question I get is, when should I have a backflow cover? My response is always the same: IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION OF YOUR BACKFLOW PREVENTER!
I always advise clients and potential clients that covering their device will improve on its longevity. Why does this matter? Because repairs are costly, freeze damaged housing is extremely costly to replace. Here in Florida, it takes $650 to $1,000 to replace a residential back flow preventer. Spending a little bit now saves a LOT in the long run.
I have found that people are VERY quick to buy a back flow cover AFTER they have a problem. AND, by then, they are sorry. How many times has a customer said, “I wish I would have talked to you sooner.” I have advised customers who didn’t listen, only for them to return, realizing the mistake they made, AND the money it cost them.
When should I have a backflow cover? IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR BACKFLOW PREVENTER!
Let's talk, get the help you need!
