Backflow Testing
Irrigation Backflow Testing
Backflow testing is an important part of maintaining an irrigation system connected to a potable water supply. A properly functioning backflow prevention device helps prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the public water system and protects the safety of the drinking water supply.
Our New York State Certified Backflow Prevention Device Testers perform required testing to verify that your backflow prevention device is operating properly and meets applicable regulations.
What is Backflow?
Backflow occurs when the normal direction of water flow is reversed, creating the potential for water from an irrigation system to enter the potable water supply. Irrigation systems may contain water with fertilizers, pesticides, or other substances that should not enter the drinking water system.
A properly functioning backflow prevention device helps protect the potable water supply by preventing unwanted water from flowing backward. Backflow testing verifies that the device is operating correctly and meets applicable water district and regulatory requirements.
Why Is Backflow Testing Required?
Backflow testing is required to verify that your irrigation system’s backflow prevention assembly is operating properly and continuing to protect the public water supply. Many local water authorities require annual testing by a certified professional to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
Regular testing helps ensure:
- Compliance with New York State and local water authority requirements
- Protection of your home’s drinking water supply and the public water system
- Proper operation of your backflow prevention assembly
- Early identification of potential device issues
