Arizona Backflow Courses
40-Hour Backflow Class Schedule ($1,000)
We have a program available that would be valid in Arizona, which would include taking our 40-hour course and then registering for an AWWA or ABPA third party exam. Some other providers in the state, notably All American Backflow Prevention have their own single party certification that is also valid. We are offering private courses only which have a minimum of 8 students and then we could schedule an AWWA or ABPA third party exam. We also have open enrollment courses that are valid for the same exams in California - third party exams cost extra and have to be scheduled separately.
How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Arizona?
Backflow testing in Arizona is regulated by the Department of Environmental Quality and is outlined in ADEQ Administrative Code (R18-4-215) modified through the years ( online is old, there is a later version ) to say a "general" backflow tester certification must pass the exam from the California Nevada Section of the American Water Works Association (CA-NV Section, AWWA), the American Backflow Prevention Association (ABPA), or All American Backflow Prevention (AABP) to test backflow preventers in the state of Arizona. There may be local registrations required with the water purveyors in certain areas but generally it is regulated at the state level through ADEQ.
Which Backflow Preventer Testing Procedures Should I Use?
For Arizona ADEQ, you have to use the USC 10th Edition Procedures. On our YouTube Channel, we created a series of videos where we test the four types of preventers using the USC 10th Edition 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
