Michigan Backflow Courses
How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Michigan?
In Michigan, backflow preventer assembly testers are regulated by the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.
In the Michigan Admin Code - R325.11405(2) states that test results of backflow preventers are valid only if testing was performed by individuals holding an active ASSE 5110 certification.

Does KTA offer courses in Michigan?
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 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.
