The main difference lies in their level of protection. A Double Check Valve Assembly (DCVA) provides basic protection by having two check valves, while a Reduced Pressure Principle Assembly (RP) offers superior protection with an added relief valve. RP assemblies are generally recommended for higher-risk applications where there is a significant risk of contamination.
Backflow refers to the undesirable reversal of water flow, allowing contaminated water to enter the clean water supply system.

A Cross-Connection Control Survey is a systematic evaluation aimed at identifying and addressing potential cross-connections within water distribution systems. These cross-connections could lead to the contamination of the clean water supply if backflow occurs, allowing non-potable water to enter the drinking water system. Trained professionals inspect properties and plumbing systems to spot instances where safe and contaminated water could mix. The goal is to eliminate or mitigate these risks through measures like installing backflow prevention devices and ensuring proper plumbing practices, thus ensuring the safety and quality of the drinking water supply.
