Irrigation Backflow Testing in Annville, PA

Sprinkler systems are the most common reason a homeowner gets a backflow test letter. Heads sit in soil, fertilizer and pet waste, and a pressure drop on the main can pull that water back into the house supply.

Irrigation backflow testing covers whatever your system uses: a PVB on most homes, an RPZ where fertilizer injection is present, or a double check on some commercial sites.

Timing matters. In cold regions the device has to be charged and tested after spring start-up, then drained before the first hard freeze. Testing a winterized PVB is not possible, so the test lands between those two dates.

A tester also looks at the install. A PVB under 12 inches of rise, a missing union or a test cock painted shut are all common on older lawns.

Backflow testing FAQs

Questions about backflow testing

Questions we hear most often about Irrigation Backflow Testing in Annville, PA.

Talk to a person
What happens if I miss the backflow test deadline?
Utilities usually send a second notice, and after that some add a fee or schedule a service shutoff. Calling (833) 990-5874 before the deadline is the simplest way to avoid it.
What is the difference between an RPZ and a double check valve?
Both have two independent check valves. An RPZ adds a relief valve between the checks that discharges water to atmosphere if the checks leak, which is why it is required on high-hazard connections.
Why is water dripping from my RPZ relief valve?
A steady drip usually means debris is holding the first check open or the relief valve diaphragm is worn. A cleaning or a rebuild kit fixes most cases.
What does a failed backflow test mean?
A check valve or the relief valve did not hold its required pressure differential. The device needs repair or replacement, then a retest before a passing report can be filed.
Who sends the test report to the water utility?
The tester usually files it, either on the utility's paper form or through its online portal. Ask for a copy for your own records.
