Agree.......................just remove the device.
One of the first things I did when we bought the house. I saved it in case we ever sell the house so I can reinstall it. It went in the pile of worthless stuff along with the spark arrestor that came with the Yamaha Golf Cart.

It’s the backflow prevention device that makes this happen. No other device needed. Just keep the hose ON when turning the spigot OFF. If anyone is worries about a lil water spraying about.

The simple solution is to keep your hose gun squeezed as you turn off the the water so there's no pressure in the hose to back up

Sorry, but this sounds too much like an urban legend. I am ready to stand corrected if a link can be provided.
Just do a google search as there have been many instances of illnesses and at least one death due to back flow issues.

Water spray when hose bib turned off.
 
I always keep the water on until I shut down hose bib, works every time, no spray.
