Did You Know You Are Required To Test Annually?
Municipal codes require annual testing of backflow prevention assemblies to ensure that they are functioning properly. The testing is required annually by the state of Wisconsin. If testing is not completed on time, the water supply to your property or business might be cut off. That is why we recommend scheduling testing well ahead of time. We will remind you and schedule your test in advanced of expiration so you don’t have to remember and worry about it!!

What Is Backflow Prevention?
Water is meant to flow in one direction, clean water in and dirty water out. Backflow happens when you have a reverse in the direction and contaminated water gets into the clean water supply, this can cause many serious health risks to your family and the community.
Backflow preventers are put in service to help prevent this from happening, but like any other device they need to be serviced and maintained. Most backflow preventers have rubber parts that can become damaged or deteriorate over time, that is why it is important to have your assembly tested yearly to make sure that the water that you and your family are drinking is safe and clean.
Popular Types Of Backflow Preventers:
Reduce Pressure Principle Assembly
An assembly containing two check valves together with a relief valve located between the check valves and at the same time below the first check valve. In cases when backflow will result in significant harm, these devices are considered suitable for the job – because they can effectively and reliably prevent back pressure and back-siphonage. The redundantly secure design of this device makes it suitable for protecting drinking water.
Pressure Vacuum Breaker Assembly (PVB)
PVBs can be installed in systems where the potable water line (the line that’s protected) is downstream from the non-potable water source. These devices usually have test cocks where calibrated gauges are attached to ensure that the device is working properly. The most common application for PVBs is in preventing backflow in underground sprinkler systems.
Spill-Resistant Vacuum Breaker Assembly (SVB)
Spill-resistant vacuum breakers (SVBs) solve the problem of leaky assemblies. They are similar in construction to PVBs, but they have additional diaphragm seals to keep water from spilling out of the air inlet when the assembly becomes pressurized. Like regular PVBs, spill-resistant vacuum breakers protect against backsiphonage but not against backpressure.
