I think whole USA has code that require such back flow preventive on faucets hooked up to city water, but in RV you are the king.
I spend 25 years in house remodeling, where BFP valves are required even on garden hoses. Owers remove them becouse they are annoyig and cost troubles.
In those 25 years have never heard about city water contamination and actually I never heard about city water outage at all.
I think I would rather buy lottery ticket, than worry about it.
Here's a link to a few. Can't believe you spent 25 years in the business and have never heard of a cross contamination issue.
Contamination Problems
But that really wasn't the point of my original question. I was just wondering how a backflow preventer causes you to not be able to winterize. None of the rest of us have that issue and I was just wondering why?
