Here in Florida all services such as domestic water systems, irrigation systems, and fire suppression systems are required to have backflow prevention assemblies installed. They are also used in places such as office buildings, hotels, restaurants, condominiums, and apartment buildings.

There are both federal and state mandates that require backflow systems be inspected on an annual basis. Generally, an inspection will include:

• Determining whether any water service will be impacted to the property during the testing,
• Flushing out the system,
• Connecting a testing gauge to the system which takes readings,
• Supplying a certification report to the customer (whether or not the system passes the inspection)
• If the backflow system does not pass inspection, the customer is given the opportunity to either repair or replace the system and it will then be retested.
• Applying for any necessary permits or applications.
• Submitting certification report(s) to the proper municipality.
