BACKFLOW TESTING

SCOTTY’S BACKFLOW

Backflow testing in North Idaho and Washington is essential to ensure that everything hooked up to potable water does not have a backflow that could contaminate your city’s drinking water. A backflow device’s main purpose is to keep water moving in one direction so that if there is backflow in the main water system it doesn’t get contaminates from your irrigation system, fire suppression system, water softener, and/or boiler.

WHY IS BACKFLOW TESTING SO IMPORTANT ?

Since backflow devices are comprised of internal seals, springs and other moving parts, they can break down or corrode over time. Backflow testing is crucial to ensuring that your device is in working order. 

WHY IS CHOOSING THE RIGHT BACKFLOW TESTER SO IMPORTANT?

Backflow testers in Idaho have to be State Approved Backflow Testers. If you use someone who is not on the Idaho State Approved Backflow Testing list, or if they are not on the
Coeur d’Alene City Approved Backflow Testing List, Post Falls City Approved Backflow Testing List or your city’s/location’s irrigation Approved Backflow Testing list, your test will not be submitted for approval and will not cover your backflow responsibility. Scotty’s Backflow is an Idaho Sate Approved Backflow Tester and has a Backflow certification with the state of Idaho as well as an American Backflow Prevention Association Certification (ABPA). 

Sprinkler Start-Up and Backflow testing services now require authorization for repairs up to $200 be done on site during initial visit. All repairs over $200 will be quoted and rescheduled for later in the season. All backflow assemblies will incur additional testing if initial test fails.
