Inspector's notes
Observed a reverse osmosis (RO) water filtration unit under the 3-compartment sink in the kitchen. The reverse osmosis system feeds a tank and water tap. These is no observed approved testable continuous pressure backflow prevention assembly downstream of the unit between the unit and copper piping. The person in charge indicated that the system was installed +2 years before inspection. Person in charge was informed that an approved testable continuous pressure backflow prevention assembly (such as a RPZ or spill proof vacuum breaker) is required between the system and copper piping because RO units can acidify water which can strip copper from piping. The establishment may also remove the RO cartridge, if the RO cartridge is removed an approved testable continuous pressure backflow prevention assembly would not be required. Corrective Action: Correct prior to re-inspection on 10/02/24.

PRIORITY VIOLATION-5-202.11 (A), P: Approved System>>>Observed a chemical dispenser with disinfectant connected to a mop sinks equipped with an atmospheric vacuum breaker (AVB) via a hose and 4 way connector y-valve. The person in charge was informed that that y-valves are not approved for mop sinks equipped with an AVB because AVB's are not an appropriate backflow device for shut off style plumbing fixtures. The person in charge was also informed that chemical dispensers require an approved testable continuous pressure backflow prevention assembly such as a Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) or a spill proof back flow preventer. The chemical dispenser and y-valve were disconnected at time of inspection. Discussed removing the y-valve from the establishment. A possible long term solution for this issue is to install an independent water line for the chemical system and assure the chemical dispenser is ASSE standard 1055 and either equipped with a visible full self-contained air gap fitting as a means of backflow protection or provided with an approved testable continuous pressure backflow prevention assembly. Correct By: Corrected At Time Of Inspection
