Connecticut Backflow Courses
How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Connecticut?
In Connecticut, backflow preventer assembly testers are regulated by the Department of Public Health, Drinking Water Section, so you have to be on their list in order to test in the state. Generally you have to take an exam with New England Water Works Association ( NEWWA ) who is pretty much sole sourced in the state. We had a course approved for a minute in Connecticut but it was extremely onerous to continue certification and they seemed to prefer everyone go through the NEWWA program, where they host their courses at a local water purveyor or have in the past.
Does KTA offer courses in Connecticut.
No we don't. This website is mostly set up just to exist if we end up doing courses in the state at a later date. We do have state approved courses in Massachusetts - New York - Rhode Island
Which Testing Procedures Should I Use ?
We have found the USC-10th Edition testing procedures to be the most efficient. On our YouTube Channel, we created a series of videos where we test the four types of preventers using these procedures:
Reduced Pressure Principle (RPZ) - USC 2-Valve Procedures
Double Check Valve Assembly (DCV) - USC Procedures
Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) - USC Procedures
Spill Resistant Vacuum Breaker (SVB) - USC Procedures
