2021 Texas Double Check Backflow Preventer Installation Rule Change

In 2021 in the State of Texas you no longer need to install a Y strainer filter before a double check backflow assembly backflow preventer. This was part of several rule changes to the state irrigation rules effective 2020. I would highly recommend that you talk to your local inspectors before installing any backflow preventer device to make sure you know the current rules and requirements of the state and your city. When installing an irrigation system, particularly the Backflow device, you want to do it right, and you want to do it right the first time, and knowing the rules and regulations of your city and state is part of that.
