Indiana Backflow Courses
How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Indiana?
Backflow Prevention Assembly Testing in Indiana is regulated by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, and listed on Page 29 of the IDEM Backflow Prevention Manual are the entities that can certify technicians, also shown below:
Indiana School of Backflow and Cross Connection ( they are cool because they do the USC 2-valve procedures instead of 3 or 5 valve )
Indiana State Pipe Trades Association
Test Gauge and Backflow Supply
ABPA ( American Backflow Prevention Association ) is listed also but unclear if they accept the national certification or just the local Indiana chapters courses
Does KTA offer backflow courses in Indiana ?
No we don't. This website is mostly set up just to exist if we end up doing courses in the state at a later date.
Which Backflow Preventer Testing Procedures Should I Use?
All of our courses utilize the University of Southern California, Foundation for Cross Connection Control and Hydraulic Research ( USC-FCCHR ) 10th Edition testing procedures and diagnostics, using derivative materials and auxiliary tests if applicable by the local authorities.
On our YouTube Channel, we created a series of videos explaining the testing procedures:
