The safety of our drinking water is of paramount importance for the health and well-being of the population. To ensure this safety, there are strict standards and regulations, particularly DIN EN 1717, which specifies specific requirements for backflow preventers. These devices play a crucial role in protecting our drinking water from contamination and backflow.
Why is protecting drinking water so important?
Protecting drinking water against liquids according to Category 5 according to DIN EN 1717 is of utmost importance to protect water quality and minimize potential health risks to consumers. Compliance with these standards and the correct installation of system separators are crucial for reliable and effective protection of drinking water.
What are Category 5 system separators?
Category 5 backflow preventers are safety devices installed between the municipal drinking water pipeline and the consumer. They fulfill important functions to protect drinking water in accordance with the requirements of the current Drinking Water Ordinance. Category 5 refers to a specific classification that provides a particularly high level of protection for drinking water.
Functions of a Category 5 system separator:
- Backflow prevention : Prevents water from the consumer stream from flowing back into the public drinking water network.
- Shielding : Forms a physical barrier between the public drinking water system and consumers.
- Pressure maintenance : Ensures that the required pressure is maintained in the drinking water system.
Requirements for system separators of category 5 according to DIN EN 1717:
- Reliable backflow prevention
- Effective pressure maintenance
- Material resistance to chemical substances in drinking water
- Equipment with monitoring and maintenance devices
- Conformity with specific standard requirements
