Backflow Preventer Testing
Backflow preventers are required by code to protect potable water
sources from contamination, and as with any mechanical device they are
subject failure. Many municipalities have already adopted a backflow
testing program and offer courses to qualified journeymen. If your
interested in becoming a certified Cross Connection Control tester
(backflow tester), contact your local code authority for more
information.
