Maryland Backflow Tester Certification Courses
Courses Are Paused - Hopefully Will Return Shortly
Thank you for choosing us in the past and hopefully the future. Our courses in Maryland are paused. We are looking for a TREEO Instructor that could teach exclusively in the state of Maryland and set up a Maryland specific program in the state. The COMAR requires instructor certifications that are done by third parties that also offer backflow courses in certain areas that we offer similar courses so it is hard to get a company wide instructor's certification, and we are hoping to have a completely Maryland version of the course for this reason.
If you are looking for a backflow course in the mean time, I would check out the list of approved schools with DLLR there should be one in your area.
DLLR, WSSC, and DC Approvals
For Maryland State, Our 32 and 8 hour courses are approved by the Department of Labor Licensing and Regulation - Plumbing Board. This course is mostly taken as a pre-requisite for a plumbing license application or required to keep a license registered with the state or a county.
For WSSC, the program has to be approved by DLLR and the instructor should be listed on the WSSC instructors list. If taking a course with us in Maryland, the instructor will be on the list.
For Washington DC, the backflow course is not required for the plumbing license, but is required in order to test backflow preventers. Once you take our course and receive the diploma, you need to submit this with some other information directly to DC Water
However as mentioned above the instructor certification is pending and courses are paused although the organization itself does hold approval.
Which Backflow Preventer Testing Procedures Should I Use?
We have found the USC-10th Edition testing procedures to be the most efficient. 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
