Backflow Prevention is Critical to Public Health. Backflow Preventer Assemblies are required to be tested annually to ensure proper function of the assembly in a backpressure or back-siphon condition in water systems.

“The United States enjoys one of the world’s most reliable and safest supplies of drinking water. Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) in 1974 to protect public health, including by regulating public water systems.
The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires EPA to establish and enforce standards that public drinking water systems must follow. EPA delegates primary enforcement responsibility (also called primacy) for public water systems to states and Indian Tribes if they meet certain requirements.”

Backflow Devices – Which devices are installed in your building?
It takes different backflow preventers for different situations. Here’s a quick look at what’s out there:
Double Check Valve Assembly
The OG backflow device with two check valves sandwiching shut-off valves. No vents. Low hazard use only.
Double Check Detector Assembly
Same protection but with a bonus meter to catch unplanned water flow. Useful for catching hidden leaks.
Pressure Vacuum Breaker
Spring loaded check valve opens if water pressure drops. Stops back-siphoning. Must be higher than highest outlet.
Reduced Pressure Principle Assembly
The beast! Double check valves plus independent relief valve for max protection. Use where health hazards exist.
Most buildings have a couple different backflow devices installed. Let the Brazas Fire pros know which ones need testing!

Backflow Testing Near Me
Do you manage a commercial building connected to a public water supply in Albuquerque or elsewhere in New Mexico? If so, you are required by law to have backflow prevention devices installed.
These devices prevent contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean water system. To maintain functionality and compliance, backflow preventers must be tested annually by certified technicians.
Why You Need Backflow Testing
Got a sprinkler system? Boiler? Water feeds the AC? Then you’ve likely got backflow preventers. These little gadgets keep contaminated water from backing up into the clean supply. Pretty important stuff!
See, buildings have all kinds of equipment with water hookups. And water can get funky fast. So backflow devices act like one-way valves. Normal flow goes one direction into the building. But if pressure flips, the valves close to block reverse flow of bad juju into the pipes. Bet you never realized how vital these gizmos are!
Why Annual Backflow Testing is Crucial
Backflow devices are the unsung heroes keeping public water clean. But they gotta get checked yearly to ensure they still work.
Testing backflow preventers is quick and easy for the techs. But it’s a big deal for safety. Think about it:
- Confirms the devices still function in emergency scenarios. Don’t need any nasty surprises!
- Satisfies the law. Building owners who skip testing get unpleasant visits from the water authority.
- Prevents contamination. Don’t want polluted water making people sick!
- Maintains water service. Get devices tested or say bye-bye to the water supply!
See why it’s so important? A little test now avoids huge problems later!
What to Expect During BackflowTesting
Relax! Testing is simple and keeps your building running smooth. Here’s the drill:
- Techs inspect the backflow devices – Check for damage and leaks.
- Devices get pressurized to simulate backflow – Tests the emergency shut-off.
- Techs record results on inspection forms – For regulators and your files.
The tester might need roof or vault access to reach some backflow preventers. But testing won’t disrupt building operations or require shutting water off. Inspection and paperwork takes maybe 30 minutes per device. Easy-peasy!
