A broken pipe or other issues with your irrigation system can allow water to flow the wrong way, potentially damaging the plumbing and contaminating your water supply. A good backflow prevention unit will keep this from happening, but those devices are also subject to damage from harsh weather conditions. For this reason, the team at Design Rite Sprinkler Company in Milford, OH, recommends installing a backflow blanket.

These innovative products will protect your backflow prevention device and ensure they're working when you need them most. These “blankets” do more than just keep equipment warm — the best are made of high-quality, advanced materials that are impervious to the effects of water, mildew, UV light, and other environmental factors that can degrade the safety equipment you and your family depend on.

The experts at Design Rite Sprinkler Company have been in the business for years, and they know how to determine which backflow prevention device and blanket are best for your irrigation system. Based on their in-depth expertise, they'll evaluate your system for risks, determine where water can potentially flow back into the system if something goes wrong, and recommend an effective, affordable solution. If your soil or irrigation system aren't quite suited for a blanket, they may recommend installing a concrete or mesh enclosure which can then be concealed to preserve the aesthetics of your lawn.

Since 1996, Design Rite Sprinkler Company has been designing, installing, and repairing all types of irrigation systems for home and business owners throughout the Greater Cincinnati and northern Kentucky areas. Whether you're looking to irrigate a golf course or just need some maintenance on your home system, you can rely on this team to have the best products and technicians in the business.
