Determining the Risk Level
Examining the facility and determining the risk level, which dictates the type of backflow preventer required under the Israeli standard.
Backflow Preventer Installation
Proper backflow preventer installation starts with choosing the right type for the facility's risk level and the right position in the water line. Kesar Digum selects the appropriate approved device, installs it professionally, performs a commissioning test and coordinates with the water utility - nationwide.

Backflow Preventer Installation
The Right Device, in the Right Place
Not every backflow preventer suits every facility. The required type - from RP through DC to simpler devices - is determined by the facility's risk level: what flows through it, whether there is a connection to chemicals, a fire-suppression system, irrigation or cooling. Installing an unsuitable device, or placing it in the wrong spot in the line, can fail inspection and require reinstallation. Kesar Digum examines the facility, determines the risk level and selects the appropriate approved device, installs it in the required position and configuration, performs a commissioning test and coordinates the registration with the water utility.

Who Is Required
Who Is Required to Install a Backflow Preventer?
The law requires a backflow preventer at any facility where there is a risk of backflow into the network. These are the common cases:
New Building or Renovation
A building under construction or a facility undergoing renovation must have a suitable backflow preventer installed as part of the water connection, from day one.
Chemical or Industrial Risk
Plants and businesses that use chemicals, garages and fuel stations are required to have a high-protection device.
Fire-Suppression Systems
Sprinkler and fire-suppression systems require a backflow preventer that stops standing water from the system flowing back into the network.
Irrigation and Cooling
Irrigation systems, cooling towers and technical water systems require protection against the backflow of non-potable water.
What the Risk Is
What Happens with an Incorrect Installation?
An unsuitable device, or a faulty installation, defeats the entire purpose of the protection:
Protection That Isn't There
A device with a lower grade than required looks fine but does not provide protection for the actual risk level - a gap that surfaces only during an incident.
Failing Inspection
Installation in the wrong position or an unapproved device fails inspection and requires removal and reinstallation - a waste of time and money.
Non-Compliance with the Utility's Requirement
A facility without a suitable, registered backflow preventer does not meet the water utility's requirements, and is exposed to notices and delays in the connection.
