Protecting your backflow device from freezing is essential to prolonging the life of your backflow preventer through the winter season.

What benefit do I have in protecting my Backflow Prevention device? 

SAVES MONEY: A backflow insulated cover is a fraction of the price compared to replacing your device if it freezes.  Advanced Connections, LLC has been working with backflow devices since 2008 and has discovered that replacing a device can cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars.  Even if a device doesn't need to be completely replaced a minor repair costs the same as an Insulated Backflow Cover Insulation.

WORRY FREE:  Even if you forget to run the water on a freeze night your Backflow Insulated Cover gives you chance to make it through the night without any damage to your device when properly installed.  All of our Insulation Backflow Covers have been tested to maintain water flow in static lines up to 10 hours in zero-degree temperature*.


SAVES TIME: If your backflow preventer freezes it could cause disruption in your water supply.  Could  make you late for work or that important meeting.  It can take several hours for a repair company to come by and correct the issue.

What Happens if my device freezes?

If your device freezes there is a possibility when you wake up you will not have any running water.  When a device freezes and becomes damaged there are a couple of options to correct the problem.  If the housing of the unit is not damaged there is a chance that the parts inside the device can be replaced to get the unit to work again.  If the housing of the unit cracks open or becomes warped (due to the water expanding during the freezing process  ) there is no other option than to have it replaced.  Here in North Florida we have cold enough nights to cause freeze issues.  What is an estimate for repair?
