Maryland Backflow Tester Certification Courses
COURSES ARE PERMANENTLY PAUSED
Unless something changes, we will likely not be offering backflow courses in Maryland at any point in the future.
I would recommend ABC Craftmasters Mid Atlantic Backflow Academy - the other companies that offer training in Maryland are sub par in my opinion.
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:
Testing the Reduced Pressure Principle ( RP ) - By the Book
Testing the Double Check Valve Assembly ( DCV ) - By the Book
Testing the Pressure Vacuum Breaker ( PVB ) Assembly - By the Book
Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) Possible Failures & Diagnostics
Double Check Valve ( DCV ) Possible Failures & Diagnostics
Reduced Pressure Backflow ( RP ) Possible Failures & Diagnostics
