Here at Nicholas Wilshire Plumbing, we offer backflow and TMV testing throughout South East Queensland. We can travel throughout Toowoomba, Highfields, Dalby, Pittsworth, Gatton and Warwick. ‘Backflow prevention’ describes the process of preventing contaminated water flowing in reverse through your pipes; mixing with your fresh, clean water supply. If polluted water comes in to contact with the water you drink and bathe in, this could cause a range of health issues, stomach upsets and skin irritation.
If your home or business has an irrigation system, fire hydrant, swimming pool, grey water system or vehicle maintenance pit; we recommend having your backflow tested annually.
When operating a business, it’s important to uphold a high-standard of care for your customers and staff. This is why we offer TMV testing. Your TMV—thermostatic mixing valve—is a valve which blends hot water with cold water to produce water at a safe temperature. This exists to protect people from unsafe, scalding hot water—particularly to keep children, people with disabilities and elderly people safe—which can result in severe external or internal burns. Your TMV also helps to prevent harmful bacteria and diseases from spreading throughout the water supply.
Our friendly team will check and maintain your TMV, ensuring all safety standards are met. If you’re interested in this service, call
