Landscape Backflow Test Special

Group Rates As Low As $30.00! |
Recently your Water District may have requested that you have your backflow assembly in your landscape sprinkler system tested. We specialize in landscape sprinkler repair and backflow testing and consequently we stock most of the common replacement parts in all of our trucks. To qualify the assembly must be a 1” state approved double check valve located outside. About 90% of residential systems meet these requirements. The service includes testing the unit, repairing the unit if necessary, retesting the unit if necessary, sending a copy of the results to your water district, and sending you a copy of the results with your bill. Parts are an additional cost if required but labor is free. Because of their poor design, we may at our option exclude the Watts 709 and 775 if complete excavation is required to access internal parts. To sign up, simply email us with you’re name, address and phone number and your done. Most backflow assemblies are located outside, next to your water meter so an appointment is not necessary. We will email back a scheduled date which is usually be less then 1 week. Below are our backflow testing prices. For groups of more then 5 we require a person to coordinate the group. The coordinator needs to supply us with the name, address and phone number of each participant, these lists can be either e-mailed or faxed to us. The coordinator is subject to further discounts, call us for more details. For pricing on other backflow testing please call or email us. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Why Backflow Test?
Backflow testing is your local water districts attempt to protect the public drinking water supply. A Backflow Assembly is a mechanical device comprised of a series of check valves that are designed to prevent backflow or siphoning of contaminated water into the public drinking water supply. Backflow or siphoning of the water system can occur from pressure fluctuations, fire fighting or main line breaks. It’s not uncommon for a new restaurant to have as many as 7 different backflow assemblies. The assemblies protect various water systems from contaminating the drinking water supply. For example a typical restaurant may have devices protecting the dishwasher, soda machine, fire sprinkler, mop sink chemical injection, landscape sprinkler, steamer, and domestic. Aside from the domestic each of these systems uses drinking water for a non-potable (non-drinking use). Landscape sprinkler systems are required to have a state certified device that prevents the backflow of sprinkler water, which although very unlikely could contain garden fertilizers and chemicals, animal wastes or even human waste from malfunctioning septic systems. In part backflow assemblies are the reason we drink our water here but not in Mexico. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
