New Jersey Certification
We proctor the New Jersey exams at our New York courses, but there are two exams, this is done at no extra charge just ask the instructor.
This is a Class Designed for Plumbers & Contractors
As a disclaimer, this class is arranged in a way that we have found works best for contractors. We typically have local hosts that sell supplies or organizations that do different types of training. If you are with a water purveyor or larger company and have training facilities, we would recommend a private course. We have a gallery of photos of our mobile wet labs posted here - www.krugerstraining.academy/wet-lab-photos
Need a Backflow Test Kit or Calibration ?
Our instructors are authorized re-sellers of the Kruger Instruments TK-2 two valve test kit and trained calibration technicians who can calibrate your test kits on site. You can also order test kits online. More info on the design approvals and functionality, as well as a link to order, can be found online at www.krugerinstruments.com

How Do I Become A Backflow Tester in New York?
This license is managed by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH). Once you complete our course, your info is submitted to NYSDOH and then you are added to their database for licensed backflow testers. Each jurisdiction in the state query the NYSDOH database to confirm if a backflow assembly tester is licensed. Once complete, you are published on their list of approved testers.
Per Rules of the City of New York Title 15 Chapter 20 Section 4E - note 4 - Testing of Backflow Preventers must be performed by a NYSDOH certified tester who is employed by a NYC Licensed Master Plumber - and note 5 - Any submitted annual test report must include the seal of a NYC Licensed Master Plumber. So, in the 5 boroughs, a NYC Licensed Master Plumber must certify the test report, and a NYSDOH certified backflow tester must perform the test.
We hold an approval through New York State Department of Health ( NYSDOH ) for both the 32-hour Initial and 8-hour Renewal Backflow Prevention Tester Courses. Our approval is listed on their website at https://www.health.ny.gov/environmental/water/drinking/cross/courses.htm
The 32-hour course also counts for 20 contact hours or 2.0 CEUs for New York State Water Operator Renewal Credits.
The course is also used pretty frequently for the Irrigation license requirement on Long Island and other areas, you just have to hold a NYSDOH certification and they can use our certificate for that.
Which Backflow Prevention 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
