Proper testing and maintenance of backflow prevention assemblies is key to preventing contaminants from making their way into the potable water within a building or a public water supply.
This program will cover the theory behind backflow prevention as well as the relevant sections of the code. In addition, the course will teach you how to identify cross connections, decide on the best methods for preventing cross connections, and review the installation, testing, troubleshooting, and repairing of backflow prevention assemblies. The program is not product specific.
