Backflow prevention valves are a crucial part of any plumbing system, as they help prevent the contamination of potable water by non-potable water sources. At Campbell Plumbing & Maintenance, we offer a range of services for backflow prevention valves, including installation, testing, repairs, and maintenance, to all suburbs across Adelaide. We specialize in RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone) and DCV (Double Check Valve) backflow prevention valves, as well as SA Water regulators in South Australia.

RPZ and DCV Backflow Prevention Valves are commonly used in commercial and industrial plumbing systems, as they provide a high level of protection against backflow. An RPZ valve has two check valves and a relief valve, which work together to prevent backflow from occurring. A DCV valve has two check valves and does not require a relief valve. Both types of valves are designed to prevent water from flowing back into the main water supply, which can cause contamination.

SA Water regulators in South Australia are responsible for ensuring that all commercial and industrial plumbing systems meet certain standards for backflow prevention. These standards include the installation of RPZ or DCV valves, as well as regular testing and maintenance of these valves to ensure they are functioning properly.

  1. When a plumbing fixture is considered a hazard: A hazard is defined as a plumbing fixture that has the potential to contaminate the water supply if backflow occurs. Examples of hazardous fixtures include fire sprinkler systems, chemical feeders, and boilers.

  2. When required by local regulations: Some municipalities require backflow valves to be installed on certain plumbing fixtures to ensure the safety of the water supply.


In South Australia, SA Water regulators require that backflow prevention devices be installed in certain instances. These instances include:

  1. When a plumbing fixture is deemed a hazard by SA Water

  2. When a plumbing fixture is connected to a rainwater tank or greywater system

  3. When a plumbing fixture is connected to a swimming pool or spa
