The big reason as to why toilet bidets and smart toilets require backflow prevention devices is water quality and the health of people using it. Water pollution can occur if backflow devices are not installed, which can make people very sick.

With 200+ free L&D seminars, over 200 exhibitors, and an exhibition hall showcasing the latest innovations, Learning Technologies offers an unparalleled experience. It also features a leading L&D conference with world-renowned speakers, creating an exciting environment for workplace learning professionals.

A bidet is a sanitary fixture equipped with a douche device for producing a jet of water, from a point below the rim of the pan, which can be applied to the body.

The term backflow refers to the reverse flow of unwanted contaminated water that makes its way into the main water supply from either a residential or commercial system. This contaminated water will contaminate the main supply if contact between the two is made.

An appropriately qualified and licenced plumber is the only person who can install a backflow prevention testing device.

What is technology

If the douche outlet is less than 25mm above the overflow level of the pan, at any position, a ‘high hazard’ backflow prevention device must be installed (see figures 1 and 2). The device must comply with AS/NZS 2845.1 or AS 2845.2.

Information technology

Backflow occurs when there is a sudden pressure drop in the water main outside of your property (e.g. there is a break in the system in your street). The effect of this may result in water within the fixtures (bidets, toilets, hoses, irrigation systems etc.) in your home being syphoned back into the public water main. This can potentially pollute your (and your neighbours') potable water system – and no-one wants to drink water from their neighbour's bidet!

Yes, there are a few different legislative and regulatory documents to consider when it comes to backflow prevention in Sydney:

A douche outlet installed at least 25mm above the overflow level of the pan, at any position, does not require a backflow prevention device.

All connections to our water and recycled water pipes must be protected with backflow prevention containment devices. A plumber should also check with the Network Utility Operator for any requirements regarding Site Containment backflow devices.

Backflow prevention is the device that is installed to stop the cross-contamination from occurring by not allowing the contaminated water to head back into the main supply.
