Why You Need Testing of RPZ Backflow Preventer in Perth

More than just being a requirement by law, RPZ  backflow preventer testing in Perth is for your own and the community’s safety so that your drinking water and the city or community’s water supply are safe and protected from contaminants.

Just like the rest of the backflow preventers, an RPZ device keeps our water systems safe to use. It’s more often used by houses, buildings, industrial facilities and the like that have their own irrigation systems, fire suppression systems, or sizable boilers. Thus, you can expect to see RPZ devices in big houses, condominiums, many malls and commercial establishments, restaurants, hospitals, and the like.

Having said that, regular testing on your RPZ devices needs to be done to ensure that there are no contaminants present in the irrigation system of the facility coming from fertilizers and pesticides used on the lawn; or in cases of huge boilers or fire suppression systems, that there’s no bacteria or mineral content build-up that would seep into the piping system.

RPZ preventers work by letting the water flow in one direction and preventing it from flowing back. As a safety measure, the relief valve of an RPZ preventer opens up to dump water as a last resort so it won’t flow back into the piping system. If the relief valve continues to dump water, it indicates that there’s an issue with the RPZ device. You will need a licensed tester like Plumbco to check this every year.

Because it is required by law to have backflow devices installed, it goes without saying that these devices should be kept functioning properly. For that, you will need a certified plumbing technician to get your backflow preventers like an RPZ backflow device functioning in tip-top shape. The devices need to be inspected, tested, and certified.

That’s where Plumbco’s expertise comes in. With licensed and certified plumbing technicians to oversee the testing and routine maintenance of your RPZ backflow devices, we will ensure that you’ll be meeting not only the Australian/NZ Standard 3500.1 but complying with the requirements of legislation, too.
