Protecting your drinking water from contamination requires functioning backflow prevention devices. A Backflow Prevention Assembly Test ensures these critical assemblies perform as intended to prevent cross-connections between potable and non-potable water. Owners of these devices mainly in commercial properties or on a sprinkler system here in iowa have a responsibility to test them annually in order to protect backflow or backsiphonage into the city water supply.
During testing, I will:
Verify the performance of a Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) Assembly—used in high-hazard situations where contaminants pose significant health risks.
Test a Double Check Valve Assembly (DCVA) for moderate hazard scenarios, ensuring pollutants—not contaminants—are kept at bay.
Inspect Pressure Vacuum Breakers (PVB) and Atmospheric Vacuum Breakers (AVB)—often used for irrigation or lower hazard applications—to ensure proper operation.
Backflow assemblies are mechanical and wear out over time. Annual testing ensures these devices function and keep your water safe from contamination. Owners of a backflow assembly could also face heavy fines if not tested annually
Each device is tested per regulatory standards. If repairs are needed, they are quoted separately from the testing fee.
A standard testing fee of $125.00 applies based on the device type and complexity.
