Back flow Prevention Devices & Thermostatic Mixing Valve Installation & Annual Servicing/Maintenance
Backflow Prevention & Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) Installation & Servicing
Ensuring Water Safety & Compliance
Backflow prevention devices and thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs) play a critical role in protecting water quality and public health. These systems prevent contaminated water from entering the clean water supply and ensure safe, regulated water temperatures, particularly in commercial and healthcare settings.
We provide professional installation, annual servicing, and repairs for backflow prevention devices and TMVs, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Our skilled team uses specialised testing equipment to certify, service, and repair these systems, and we provide detailed reports to both the client and the appropriate authorities.
Backflow Prevention Devices
What is a Backflow Prevention Device?
A backflow prevention device stops contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean water supply, which can happen due to a sudden drop in water pressure (back-siphonage) or increased downstream pressure (backpressure).
Common industries requiring backflow prevention:
✔ Commercial properties – Offices, factories, and shopping centres.
✔ Irrigation systems – Prevents pesticides and fertilisers from contaminating drinking water.
✔ Medical & dental facilities – Ensures sterile water supply.
✔ Restaurants & cafes – Prevents backflow from dishwashing and food prep areas.
✔ Multi-story buildings – Protects against water pressure variations.
Backflow Prevention Device Installation & Servicing
✔ Installation of compliant backflow prevention devices for commercial and residential properties.
✔ Annual testing & certification to meet local water authority regulations.
✔ Comprehensive performance testing using professional backflow testing kits.
✔ Repairs & replacements of faulty or non-compliant devices.
✔ Detailed test reports submitted to the appropriate authorities and provided to the client.
Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMVs)
What is a Thermostatic Mixing Valve?
A TMV regulates hot water temperature to prevent scalding while ensuring compliance with safe water temperature regulations. TMVs are essential in settings where precise water temperature control is required, such as:
✔ Hospitals & aged care facilities – Ensures water is warm enough to kill bacteria but not hot enough to cause burns.
✔ Schools & childcare centers – Protects children from scalding.
✔ Commercial & industrial buildings – Provides safe and regulated hot water.
✔ Hotels & restaurants – Ensures consistent, safe water temperatures.
TMV Installation & Annual Servicing
✔ Installation of TMVs to comply with Australian Standards for water safety.
✔ Annual performance testing & calibration to maintain correct temperature control.
✔ Inspection & cleaning of valve components to ensure reliability.
✔ Temperature adjustments to meet compliance standards.
✔ Complete servicing & testing report provided to the client and relevant authorities.

We ensure full compliance with industry regulations, providing detailed test reports that:
✔ Document the results of testing & servicing.
✔ Identify any faults or required repairs.
✔ Confirm compliance with local plumbing and health codes.
✔ Are submitted to the relevant water authorities and provided to the client.
Our team is fully licensed and qualified to perform testing, servicing, and repairs using high-quality diagnostic equipment, ensuring accurate and reliable compliance reporting.

FAQs
-
If a device fails testing, we will:
✔ Identify the cause of the failure and recommend a repair or replacement.
✔ Perform repairs on-site if possible, or schedule a replacement promptly.
✔ Retest the system after repairs to confirm compliance.We ensure your water system meets all regulatory requirements before certification.
-
✔ Backflow prevention device testing – Usually 30-60 minutes per device.
✔ TMV testing & servicing – Typically 1 hour per unit, depending on the system condition.We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your property or business.

🚨 For backflow prevention devices:
✔ Contaminated water can enter the drinking supply, posing health risks.
✔ Non-compliance with legal regulations, leading to fines.
✔ Unchecked devices can fail, requiring costly replacements.🚨 For TMVs:
✔ Water temperatures too high can cause scalding injuries.
✔ Bacteria growth (e.g., Legionella) in lukewarm water can lead to health hazards.
✔ Regulatory non-compliance, resulting in penalties. -
Our certified technicians perform:
✔ Pressure testing to check if backflow is occurring.
✔ Inspection of valve components for wear or damage.
✔ Functional testing to ensure the device is preventing contamination.
✔ Servicing or replacing parts if needed.
