Annual Backflow Testing in Boulder

Test results are recorded on the provider's form and submitted for you. If the assembly passes, you are done until next year.

RPZ assemblies protect against high-hazard cross-connections at restaurants, medical offices, car washes and buildings with chemical feed systems. They have two check valves and a relief port that discharges water if a check fails. We install, test and rebuild RPZ units from Watts, Febco, Wilkins and Apollo. Proper drainage is planned for the relief port discharge.

Backflow Preventer Cost & Value in Boulder, CO
The cost of backflow preventer services in Boulder, CO varies depending on the type of service, such as testing, repair, or installation, and the device involved.

Fire Line Backflow Testing in Boulder
Fire sprinkler systems typically use double check or double check detector assemblies to keep stagnant water out of the public supply. These assemblies need regular testing, often coordinated with fire system inspections. We test and repair fire line assemblies and document the results. We can line up scheduling with your fire protection contractor.
Irrigation Backflow Preventer Installation in Boulder
Sprinkler and drip systems are one of the most common sources of cross-connection risk because they sit in soil with fertilizers and pesticides. Many systems use a pressure vacuum breaker or a reduced pressure assembly installed above grade. We size and install the correct device and set it at the required height. Insulated covers or enclosures help protect it from weather and theft.
