Who We Are
ABOUT BACKFLOWCANADA

BackflowCanada was built specifically for the people who work with backflow prevention every day — licensed testers, plumbing contractors, and municipalities. We stock Watts, Zurn/Wilkins, and Arbiter products in Canada so you don’t wait weeks for cross-border shipments or deal with import duties on every order.

We’re not a generalist distributor that happens to carry backflow products. Backflow prevention is all we do. That means better product knowledge, tighter stock on high-demand items like repair kits, and support staff who understand the difference between an RPZ and a DCVA.

Wholesale accounts are available for licensed plumbing contractors, registered backflow testing companies, and municipalities. Apply on this page for volume pricing and net terms.
