When Do Backflow Preventers Need to Be Certified?

Is Your Backflow Preventer Reliable?

Backflow preventers: A simple name for a very important tool. This installation is key to securing the health and safety of a property’s inhabitants. Without it, the water used for landscaping can quite literally back up and meld with a drinking water source. The implications of this can be serious: Fertilizers, dirt, and other pesticides don’t belong in potable water for a reason.

At Doctor Sprinkler, we take the effectiveness of the backflow preventers we install very seriously. We believe that they should always be reliable. And that’s why we believe they should always be certified.

Making Sure Your Backflow Preventer is Secure

The American Backflow Prevention Association, commonly called the ABPA, created a rigorous system to ensure that backflow preventers will secure the safe quality of drinking water. They do this through Backflow Prevention Assembly Testers. Individuals are trained to assess whether backflow prevention assemblies are effective by working through trainings and, ultimately, a test. This is the most effective way to secure the security of any given backflow preventer.
