What Is a Backflow Prevention Device?
A backflow prevention device (also called a backflow assembly or backflow preventer) is installed—sometimes at the water meter—to keep dirty or contaminated water from flowing back into your clean drinking water supply.
- Protects against cross-connections in your plumbing system.
- Blocks pollutants, chemicals, and bacteria from entering your water.
- Required by Florida regulations for both residential and commercial properties.

Why Backflow Testing Matters in Florida
Florida law requires annual backflow testing by a certified technician. This ensures your backflow prevention assembly is working correctly and keeping your water supply safe.
Annual Backflow Testing is Required
- Regulations demand yearly certification.
- Prevents hidden system failures that could contaminate your water.
- Keeps your property in compliance with county and state codes.
Protecting Sarasota, Bradenton & Lakewood Ranch Communities
Water systems in Manatee and Sarasota counties are interconnected. A failed backflow preventer at one property could put neighboring homes, businesses, or even restaurants at risk.

Not at all! Our certified backflow testers only need clear access to the device. We recommend trimming any vegetation around the unit, but you don’t need to take time off work or be home for the test.
