Potable Water-Mineralizer Air Gap
|
|
Violation:
A plastic bottle was taped around the discharge end of the backwashing drain pipe which negated the effectiveness of the air gap. This was removed during the inspection. In addition, the cross connection control plan did not list this air gap and it had not been periodically inspected.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the potable water distribution system is maintained free of cross-connections. Ensure the cross-connection control program includes at a minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method or device for each, so there is a match to the plumbing system component and location. Include air gaps on the listing. Ensure a schedule for inspection frequency is set. Maintain a log documenting the inspection and maintenance in written or electronic form, and ensure it is available for review during inspections. Ensure air gaps are at least twice the diameter of the delivery fixture opening and a minimum of 25 millimeters (1 inch). Protect the potable water system against backflow or other contamination by backflow prevention devices or air gaps.
