Review on Febco 905 212 Breakers Backflow Preventers by Shane Black

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to replace, buy a spare.

Most likely this was done so that the pipes would not burst. They're expensive for what they are, but I think it's easier/cheaper than replacing tubes. Be sure to cap the pipes before winter and/or stop using the sprinkler system during the year. Made this mistake and the neighbor next door was unhappy. Ease of installation. Don't skimp and go blue. He served half as long and broke in warm weather. I met the President who happened to be in a store in Houston, nice guy. They have that stupid and pointless California Proposal sticker on them. The problem is that there are only two companies that make them, so according to California, if we have a sprinkler system, we're all going to die of cancer. Be sure to get a replacement as they sell out quickly during the first frosts.

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • There are nuances
