I would like to install a water powered sump pump in my basement as a backup. The kit that I ordered did not come with a backflow preventer. Does virginia code require a preventer in this situation?

Hi Kenny

I don't have a Virginia code book handy, but a quick call to your local plumbing inspector or the inspector in the next town can tell you for sure! I know I would want a BF preventer installed code or not!!

Good luck!
