How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Massachusetts ?

We hold an approval through the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection - Drinking Water Program, Cross Connection Control Program (MassDEP-DWP-CCCP) which is the state agency that regulates the water purveyors and backflow testing. The MassDEP-DWP-CCCP certification guide is posted on their website, with more information on how to apply found online as well. You take the course and then fill out a form and pay a fee to the state.

Which Backflow Preventer Testing Procedures Should I Use?

We have found the USC 10th Edition testing procedures to be the most efficient, often with additional procedures required on the RP for some water purveyors. On our YouTube Channel, we created a series of videos explaining the testing procedures and how to prepare for practical exams:

Beware of Improper Installations

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

This course is the Massachusetts version of Kruger Training Academy's New England Region Backflow Tester Program and is done concurrently with other programs. The goal is to have 6 different programs meeting all 6 states' requirements, but have the curriculum integrated in such a way that the core materials are the same. We include an overview of the 6 requirements and a breakdown on the next steps to become registered with all entities required. Often testers are only seeking certification in one or two states in the region, but sometimes they are seeking certification for many or all of them. The New England Region Backflow Tester Program is not valid in New York or other states, only in New England, if seeking certification in other states or regions, check out our main page www.krugerstraining.academy and pick whatever states you are interested in.
