Does anyone have any experience with this product (or comments on what they say)?
TIA,
Scott
No experience with that one but it looks like a great device.
Does he say if your city will approve it?

It looks like it would be harder to repair / unclog / replace. The flapper type can clog when they are installed in a vertical pipe. My supply house says to put them in a horizontal pipe whenever possible.
I've had a flapper type in my basement for 8 years without problems. I did replace the first one because it had a junky case. The top screwed on with
4 screws and seemed capable of leaking under pressure. What good is a backflow valve that might leak. The second one had a nice screw on cap with gasket system. Both use a flapper with no issues to date.
I'd still have to find out about that.
