How Do I Become a Certified Backflow Tester in Rhode Island?

Backflow Preventer Assembly Testing is not regulated at the state level by Rhode Island, so it is up to each water purveyor. Providence Water, and pretty much all the smaller local water purveyors, accept the Rhode Island version of our New England Backflow Tester Program. Others might require an ABPA third party exam or a Massachusetts State license registration, but this is rare now and many just accept our diplomas as equivalent to whatever else is listed. Feel free to reach out at krugerstrainingacademy@gmail.com or with your local water purveyor to confirm acceptability.

A link to Providence Water's backflow tester requirements is downloadable here - where the USC Method that is the basis of our program is listed, we are longstanding members and partners with ABPA, and we often proctor their exams if applicable.

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 video breaking down the USC 10th Edition procedures and diagnostics for all four types of backflow assemblies:

This course is the Rhode Island 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.
