Learning how to test a backflow preventer is important
because there are over 10,000 reported cases of backflow contamination each
year in America! Some of them are even fatal!
Backflow prevention devices are required by law and must be
installed. A typical backflow assembly
has test cocks and shut-off valves and must be checked yearly.
Some of the steps your plumber will use in testing for
backflow are –
1. Shut off the water
supply and cease using water in the house while it is off.
2. Investigate the
direction of the water flow.
3. Gather the amount
of test cocks and bushings that they will need.
4. Turn on the water
and run a few taps simultaneously.
