A public school district in the Midwest faced recurring issues with their outdoor irrigation backflow preventers
freezing and being tampered with during winter months. Repairs and replacements were costly and disrupted school
grounds maintenance.

durability and certified protection features. Installation was completed across all campuses in under two weeks

maintenance teams to easily access the backflow preventers for seasonal testing and repairs.
