This August, Zurn, an internationally recognised leader in commercial, municipal and industry markets, is marking Backflow Prevention Day (16^th August) by shining a spotlight on backflow prevention devices and the critical role they play in protecting our drinking water and keeping Australian communities safe from harmful substances.

With more than 120 years of experience, Zurn is passionate about increasing industry knowledge and expertise on backflow prevention. They are devoting the month of August to highlighting how important it is to install quality, effective backflow prevention devices in Australian properties by hosting Backflow Prevention Day events held at select key Reece branches across Australia.

The events will showcase backflow prevention devices, how they work and servicing procedures. Training and resources will be available at each of these branches on the day or by request.

Lawrence Drummond, Zurn Product Specialist said, “We’re really proud of the work the industry delivers to reduce the risk of water contamination and protect the health of Australian communities.”

“Through innovative, high quality backflow prevention products that are readily available and easy to install, we’re committed to making life easier for our busy trades, so they can do the important work in keeping our communities safe.”

Zurn’s backflow prevention products feature an innovative patented EZ-Swap vessel which allows a backflow valve to be repaired in as little as 3 minutes without removing the device from the line (using just 2 screws for the 20-25mm RPZ and 4 small bolts for the 32-50mm RPZ and 20-50mm DCV). With Reece’s extensive network and customer service, Zurn makes the products faster and easier to install and maintain.

Not only is the job for plumbers made quicker and easier, but hydraulic consultants can specify products that are high quality, long-lasting and reliable, saving their clients money in the long term.

Drummond will also attend the National Backflow & Legionella Convention by the BPAA in Tweed Heads, NSW in October, where he will host a trade exhibition sharing information and expertise on Zurn products.

The Zurn portfolio includes a comprehensive range of high-quality backflow prevention products including Reduced Pressure Zone Devices, Double Check Valves, Single Check Valves and Dual Checks, plus a range of Single Detector Check Valves and Double Detector Check Valves for fire applications.

Zurn products are available exclusively through the Reece Group.
