RPZ Testing FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About RPZ Testing
RPZ testing helps confirm that a reduced pressure zone backflow preventer is working properly to protect the water supply. Here are answers to common questions about RPZ and backflow testing.
What is RPZ testing?
RPZ testing checks a reduced pressure zone backflow preventer to make sure it is operating correctly and helping prevent contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean water supply.
Why is RPZ testing important?
RPZ testing is important because a backflow prevention device protects the potable water supply from contamination caused by pressure changes, cross-connections, or plumbing system issues.
How often does an RPZ valve need to be tested?
Many properties are required to have RPZ or backflow prevention devices tested on a regular schedule, often annually. Requirements can vary by municipality, property type, and local water authority.
Who can perform RPZ testing?
RPZ testing should be performed by a qualified backflow or plumbing professional with the proper training, equipment, and certification required by the local authority.
What happens if an RPZ device fails the test?
If an RPZ device fails testing, it may need cleaning, repair, replacement parts, or full replacement. The issue should be corrected so the backflow preventer can pass inspection and continue protecting the water supply.
