It is important for property and business owners who have backflow prevention devices on their property to understand the importance of backflow prevention device maintenance, as well as their responsibilities under the law. The owner of an installed testable backflow prevention device must make sure the device is registered with their local council and have the device tested annually by an endorsed backflow plumber. The ongoing testing and maintenance is the responsibility of the property owner or occupier.

There’s a chance that your backflow device could be failing to do its job.  Backflow prevention tests and maintenance should always be completed. Letting experienced testers take a closer look at your system is important for keeping your family safe from contaminated water. If your water seems to be contaminated, there’s a chance that backflow may be an issue.

Testing and maintaining backflow prevention devices is important to maintain the high standards of water that should not be taken for granted.

To make sure everything is working properly, effective backflow prevention solutions include:

• Backflow plumber will check your backflow device for signs of malfunction or degradation.
• Backflow plumber will test the backflow device to make sure it is working properly.
• Backflow plumber will submit the results of the test to the council no later than 5 working days after the test is carried out.

If the device didn’t pass the test, your endorsed and certified backflow plumber will then complete any required maintenance. They will then retest and re-submit the results.

Our plumbers are experts in testing and effective backflow prevention solutions to make sure you meet your obligations as a residential or business owner.
