What Exactly Is Backflow Testing?

One of the reasons we test a backflow assembly is to ensure its functionality per manufactures design and industry approved standards.

For example, a double check backflow preventer (DC) has two independent spring-loaded inline checks that are design to hold minimum of 1 psi pressure in the direction of flow.

We, at Simply Backflow Testing will test each check with a pressure gauge and if we obtain a minimum of 1 psi per check, the assembly will pass the annul backflow inspection.  If we obtain a minimum of less than 1 psi on ether check, the assembly will fail the backflow testing.  Repairs will need to take place before retest.
