Massachusetts Backflow Tester / Cross Connection Courses
32-Hour Certification Course Schedule ($600)
8-hour Re-Certification Course Schedule ($275)
Course Approvals
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 course in itself is not a certification for Massachusetts, there is another step to get registered with the state, more info is posted below. There is no additional training or exams required, but you do have to make an application / pay a fee.
The MassDEP-DWP-CCCP certification guide is posted on their website, with more information on how to apply found online as well.
How Do I Become a Backflow Assembly Tester in Massachusetts ?
In order to test preventers in Massachusetts, you have to hold a current license through Mass DEP-DWP-CCCP, where you have to pass a certified written and practical exam, and then fill out an application to the department and pay a fee. Our course and exams are approved for this purpose and once Mass DEP is notified that you passed the course, you can then apply for the license.
The license is only valid for 3 years, it can be renewed by either testing 24 preventers over the 3 year period and submitting the info, or taking an 8-hour renewal course.
Share the big news
There are a bunch of options when it comes to testing backflow preventers as far as which procedures to use. We have found that the ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures are most efficient if you can use them, and have fewer requirements as far as equipment, connector tees, and number of hoses and adapters needed.
On our YouTube channel, we created a series of videos where we test the four types of preventers using these procedures if you're not familiar with them:
Reduced Pressure Principle (RPZ) - ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures
Double Check Valve Assembly (DCV) - ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures
Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) - ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures
Spill Resistant Vacuum Breaker (SVB) - ASSE 5000 Single Hose Procedures
Gauge Sales & Calibrations
Do you need a backflow test kit or need to calibrate a test kit you already have? We offer both of these, check out our sister company Kruger Instruments for more information:
