About this training
A series of lectures followed by guided exercises in a wet lab covers field testing of the four backflow prevention assemblies (pressure vacuum breakers, spill-resistant vacuum breakers, reduced pressure principle assemblies and double check assemblies), hydraulics, backflow and backsiphonage, cross connections, degrees of hazard, and state and federal rules. The written exam is Friday afternoon and the practical exam Saturday morning, given by ABPA. Passing both results in ABPA certification as a backflow prevention assembly tester.
