Let’s face it. Backflow preventers are essential for safeguarding our water supply, but they’re not necessarily glamorous. Many contractors try to camouflage them into the landscape, maybe behind a bush or in a shadowy corner.
Others go a step further to hide them entirely below ground — also known as pit installations. Not only are the backflow preventers out of sight, but they are also less likely to be tampered with, and they’re insulated during cold weather. Win, win, win, right?
