Do a Private Course or Host A Public Course
No course or exam scheduled in your area ? We have two additional programs available:
Private Course - We can come to your location and train only your staff, bring all props, handouts, equipment, etc., Minimum of 10 students for Florida
Host a Course - Similar to a private course, we come to your facility and train your staff, but also you allow other local technicians to attend. No minimums for these and you get 2 free students.
Need a Backflow Test Kit or Calibration ?
Our instructors are authorized re-sellers of the Kruger Instruments TK-2 two valve test kit and trained calibration technicians who can calibrate your test kits on site. You can also order test kits online. More info on the design approvals, functionality, and calibrations can be found online at www.krugerinstruments.com
This is a Class Designed for Plumbers & Contractors
Our courses are arranged in a way that we have found works best for contractors. We typically have local hosts that sell plumbing supplies, irrigation supplies, or backflow repair kits, or are manufacturing reps for these products, often also contractors host the courses. At a bare minimum we require a room with tables, chairs, and access to a water source. The wet labs are often outside. If you are with a water purveyor or larger company and have training facilities, we would recommend a private course. We have a gallery of photos of our mobile wet labs posted here - www.krugerstraining.academy/wet-lab-photos
How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Florida?
In Florida, there is no state level agency that regulates backflow assembly testing, so it is up to the discretion of the water districts. Florida Water Districts, from our experience, in general, accept pretty much any backflow tester certification that has reasonable credentials. We have around 50 testers certified currently in Florida. If you have a question about whether your local water district would accept our certification, feel free to reach out via email or phone ( top of the website ).
Which Backflow Testing Procedures Should I Use ?
Our Courses in Florida and utilize the USC 10th Edition testing procedures using a 2 valve test kit. 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
