Back-Siphonage: The Hidden Danger in Plumbing Systems

This image illustrates the danger of backflow in plumbing, specifically back-siphonage, where contaminated water is drawn into the clean water supply due to negative pressure. Without a backflow prevention device, hazardous substances can enter drinking water, creating serious health risks. Proper backflow prevention plumbing measures, such as installing vacuum breakers or reduced pressure backflow preventers, are crucial for maintaining water safety.
