How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Utah?

Backflow Preventer Assembly Testing in Utah is regulated by the Department of Environmental Quality, and they require that you take a training course and then take an exam with the American Backflow Prevention Association ( ABPA ) - then you fill out an application form with the state.

They do lists schools that have courses on their website, but even with a diploma from a school you need the ABPA exam in order to register.

Which Backflow Preventer Testing Procedures Should I Use?

The APBA exams use the USC 10th Edition testing procedures. 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
