How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Georgia?

Backflow Prevention Assembly Testing in Georgia is regulated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division, and they accept the Georgia Statewide Backflow Prevention Assembly Certification Program which is administered by GAWP.

This is found on the state regulations - Rule 391.3.5.13.7 - http://rules.sos.ga.gov/GAC/391-3-5-.13 - "all required field testing shall be performed by persons who are certified in the testing of backflow prevention assemblies by the Georgia Statewide Backflow Prevention Assembly Certification Program, as approved by the Division"

More info on how to apply with GAWP upon completion of the course can be found here - there is a computer based written exam proctored by the state, the practical exam is completed at our course.

Our 32-hour Initial and 6-hour Renewal Backflow Testers Courses are approved through the Georgia Association of Water Professionals ( GAWP ) as part of the Georgia Statewide Backflow Prevention Assembly Certification Program. Our approval with GAWP is listed here

Which Backflow Prevention Testing Procedures Should I Use ?

Our Courses in Florida and Georgia utilize 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
