With winter finally in the rearview, now is the best time of the year to turn your attention to the quality of your water supply. How sanitary is the water that enters your home or business? This might not be a factor you think about on a regular basis, but backflow testers are among the most reliable means of ensuring all of your water-protecting equipment is in proper working order. Here are a few reasons to make testing a top priority this season. 

Top 3 Reasons to Schedule Backflow Testing

1. Keep Your Water Free of Contaminants

Backflow is an issue that sometimes occurs when changes in water supply pressure force the water flow to reverse. This can introduce potentially harmful contaminants into residential and commercial drinking water, which is why many plumbing systems have backflow prevention devices installed at vulnerable points. Backflow testers are designed to make sure the prevention devices are doing their job effectively. 

2. Avoid Interruptions to the Irrigation Process

Setting up backflow tester services for spring will make sure the water in your irrigation system is as pristine as can be when you need it most. The last thing you want is a mid-season sanitation disaster to completely throw a wrench in your time-sensitive irrigation plans. 

3. Comply With Municipal Codes

Backflow prevention devices are required by most municipal codes, as is annual testing of those devices. Depending on where you live, there may even be fines or service interruptions in the event that testing isn't performed in a timely manner. Scheduling your testing for spring is a great way to establish an annual routine and get ahead of the busier months to come. 

Dramatic changes in water pressure can appear at any moment, so you need to make sure your device is ready to protect your water supply from the worst case scenario. Considering how messy and dangerous those scenarios can be, there's never a bad time to check on your device with the help of a backflow prevention tester.
