  2. After Renovations: If you've recently undergone renovations or replaced plumbing fixtures, it's essential to test your backflow unit to ensure it's compatible with the new system.

  3. After Flooding or Water Damage: In the event of flooding or water damage, it's crucial to test your backflow unit to prevent further contamination and ensure the water is safe for consumption.

  4. After Local Water Quality Concerns: If your local water supply is compromised or there are known contamination issues, it's recommended to test your backflow unit to ensure it's functioning correctly and protecting your home's water supply.

  5. During Installation: When installing a new backflow unit, it's essential to test it immediately to ensure it's functioning correctly and identify any potential issues before they become major problems.


Conclusion


Regular testing of your backflow unit is crucial for maintaining optimal water safety in your home. By understanding when to get your unit tested, you can prevent contaminated water from entering your home's plumbing system, ensure your family's health and safety, and avoid costly repairs down the line.
