Pump Backflow
It is not permissible to drain the pressure line after the
pump has been switched off as the backflow speed
can be many times the operating speed and would
destroy the unit. A backflow through the pump can be
prevented by suitable non-reflux fittings as close to the
pump as possible insofar as a non-return valve are not
installed in the pump.
