Arizona Backflow Tester Certification Courses
40-Hour Backflow Class Schedule ($1,000)
We don't currently have any open enrollment courses scheduled in the state of Arizona. We offer private courses and have a hosting program if you wanted to host a course. We also have open enrollment courses that are a similar USC based curriculum and have the same exams in California
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), among others. 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
