Common backflow prevention issues in Tempe

  • Sun degradation on RPZ rubber seats. Phoenix UV ages the internal rubber 2x faster than a covered install. Always install with a UV cover.
  • Freeze damage on the relief valve in winter (rare but it happens : Phoenix nights below 32°F a few times each January).
  • Failed annual test from sediment in the city water clogging the relief valve. Common after city main work in your neighborhood.
  • In Tempe specifically, tempe rentals tend to have deferred plumbing : cast-iron drains, galvanized supply, water heaters past 12 years, and that pattern shapes how backflow prevention calls get scoped and which contractors fit the work.
