Why Is Backflow Testing Important in Medical Facilities?

Medical facilities often have specialized plumbing systems and equipment designed to protect patient health and safety. Backflow prevention devices help ensure that water flows in the correct direction and protect the public drinking water supply from potential contamination.

Because these devices are critical to water safety, many Minnesota municipalities require annual testing by a certified backflow prevention tester.

If your facility has received a notice from the city or water provider, we’re here to help make the process simple.

We know that patient care always comes first. Our goal is to complete testing efficiently while minimizing interruptions to your staff and visitors. We’ll work with your facility to schedule testing at a convenient time and coordinate access to mechanical rooms or utility areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Backflow prevention testing checks the function of your backflow preventer device.

Without it, everyday activities like watering your lawn or running your sprinkler system could put your drinking water at risk.

As long as your backflow device is accessible, the water is turned on and the test cap is in place, we should be able to test your device within 20-30 minutes. Learn more about how to prepare for your appointment here.
