This built-in engineering prevents contaminated water from back-siphoning into your property's clean water supply, meaning an expensive external valve is usually not required.
Please Note: While our built-in system meets national standards, we always recommend checking with your local council before signing off, as specific regional council requirements and consenting interpretations can vary across NZ.
