Hunt Irrigation-making sure your first drink is as SAFE as your last.
Mechanical backflow preventors have internal seals, springs, and moving parts that are
subject to fouling, wear, or fatigue. Also, mechanical backflow preventors and air gaps
can be bypassed. Therefore, all backflow preventors have to be tested periodically to
ensure that they are functioning properly. A visual check of air gaps is sufficient,
but mechanical backflow preventors have to be tested by a State Certified Grade 6
Operator, with properly calibrated gauge equipment.
Why do Backflow preventors need to be tested annually?
