Annual Backflow Testing in Mi Wuk Village, CA

Your water utility mailed a notice. It names a device, a serial number and a due date. That letter is the start of annual backflow testing, and Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing connects you with a local tester in Mi Wuk Village, CA who can handle it.

The tester closes the downstream shutoff, hooks a differential pressure gauge to the test cocks and reads each check valve in turn. On a double check, each check has to hold at least 1.0 psid. On an RPZ, the relief valve has to open at no less than 2.0 psid. The numbers go on the report exactly as read.

Most residential tests take about half an hour, and your water is off for part of it. Commercial assemblies take longer, especially 4 inch and larger devices.

If the device passes, the report gets filed. If it fails, you get the reason in plain words and the options: repair, rebuild or replace.

Backflow prevention only works when the device is checked on schedule. Call Grizzly Backflow & Plumbing at (833) 990-5874 to book your test in Mi Wuk Village, CA.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Annual Backflow Testing in Mi Wuk Village, CA.

Talk to a person
How often does a backflow preventer need testing in Mi Wuk Village, CA?
Most water utilities require a test once a year. Many also require one at installation, after any repair and after the device is moved. Your utility's notice letter gives the exact due date.
What is the difference between an RPZ and a double check valve?
Both have two independent check valves. An RPZ adds a relief valve between the checks that discharges water to atmosphere if the checks leak, which is why it is required on high-hazard connections.
How long does a backflow test take?
A residential PVB or double check test usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. Large commercial and fire line assemblies take longer.
Can a backflow preventer freeze?
Yes. Trapped water expands and can crack the bronze body or blow out the bonnet. Insulated enclosures, heat cable or draining the device for winter prevent it.
What is a cross-connection?
Any point where drinking water piping can come into contact with a non-potable source. Common examples are a hose in a bucket, a boiler fill line and an irrigation system.
