The latest updates to backflow prevention standards have been implemented as of January 2023, and it’s crucial for us to stay compliant. These changes not only impact installation practices but also the testing procedures we use. I’d love to hear how others are adapting to these requirements, especially with the new testing protocols in place.
I’ve started using the new test kits from Aquasol, and they’re making my work smoother — have you noticed any particular challenges with the testing procedures?
, these new testing protocols are driving me nuts! I had a session last week where the new test kit took way longer than I expected to calibrate. I’ve found it’s all about getting familiar with the new procedures, so practice is key.
I’ve found that practicing the new testing procedures in a controlled environment helps a ton before heading out to actual jobs. It’s like trying on shoes before a marathon — makes the real deal a bit smoother! @PlumbingPro, have you had a chance to test any alternative methods yet?
It’s definitely been tricky since January… I found going through the new calibration steps with a buddy can really speed things up — more hands make less work! Have any of you tried breaking it down like that? .
I hear you! I had a similar experience with the calibration taking ages. I started laying everything out beforehand like a chef before a dinner rush — it really cut down my setup time.
