FAQ

What is a backflow assembly?                     
A backflow assembly is an approved, testable assembly which uses valves in different configurations to prevent polluted or contaminated water from reversing direction and flowing backward.  Common uses are on fire sprinkler systems, irrigation systems, boiler make-up and domestic water services.

When do I need to have my backflow assemblies tested?
Each backflow assembly must be tested and certified upon installation and shall be tested and certified annually thereafter.

Are all backflow assembly testing companies alike?
No.  ASheville Irrigation includes, with each inspection, not only the testing and certification of the backflow assembly but also cleaning, repairs as required and all rubber parts.

Do all backflow companies warranty their service for one full year?
No.  Asheville Irrigation provides complete warranty service which includes all services needed to maintain your backflow assemblies for ONE FULL YEAR or until your next regularly scheduled inspection.

Will an automatic sprinkler system use more water than I'm currently using?
No. In fact, it will conserve water. The system's controller and rain sensor will be set so you receive only the amount of water you need. You will not over-water or under-water your lawn with an automatic sprinkler system.

Does having a sprinkler system really save time?
Yes. You won't have to spend another minute of your valuable leisure time watering the lawn. Whether you are home or away, your system will do the watering for you!

Will an automatic sprinkler system water as effectively as I can water by hand?
It will do a much better job because a professionally designed system will deliver exactly the right amount of water to individual lawn and garden areas.

We generally get 40 or more inches of rainfall a year. Do we really need a sprinkler system?
If it rained at your house every three days the same exact amount each time, you probably would not need a sprinkler system. But nature does not work that way, and the only way to ensure healthy, lush growth is to make certain your lawn and plants receive a regularly timed, evenly measured amount of water. In the dry season when there is little or no rain, your yard can suffer damage after just a few days without water.
