Testing the valve seal
Checking the one-way check valves and the relief valve under controlled pressure to confirm they seal and block reverse flow.
Annual Backflow Preventer Testing
A backflow preventer is a mechanical device that wears over time, which is why the law requires an annual compliance test by a certified inspector. Kesar Digum performs the test at your site, documents the findings and issues a test certificate filed with the water utility - nationwide.

Backflow Testing
Making sure the last line of defense works
A backflow preventer gets installed and then forgotten - and that's exactly the problem. The internal valves wear down, seals stiffen and springs weaken, all without a single outward sign. A device that looks fine can fail at the precise moment the network loses pressure, letting contaminated water flow back into the drinking water. That's why the law requires an annual compliance test by a certified inspector. Kesar Digum comes out to the site, tests the valves' seal under controlled pressure, documents the findings and issues a test certificate filed with the water utility - and also sets a reminder for your next test.

What the test covers
What the backflow test includes
From testing the valves on site to a signed certificate filed with the utility - an orderly process from start to finish.
Documenting the findings
An orderly record of the test results, the device's condition and any defect found - the basis for the certificate and for tracking at the next test.
Issuing the utility certificate
Producing a test certificate signed by a certified inspector and filing it with the water utility, as required by the regulations.
Handling a failed test
If the device is found faulty, we repair or replace it and run a retest for certification.
Full Details
Who's required and when
When do you need a backflow test?
The annual test is required at any site with a backflow preventer installed. These are the common cases:
Routine annual test
Every site with a backflow preventer must be tested for compliance once a year. An organized reminder prevents a missed deadline and fines from the utility.
After a new installation
A new device is tested at commissioning to verify a proper seal, and from there enters the annual testing cycle.
After a repair or replacement
Any repair or device replacement requires a retest for compliance before the site returns to service.
At the utility's request
The water utility may require a valid test certificate on demand. Testing on time ensures the certificate is always available.
The risk
What happens if you skip the test?
An untested backflow preventer is a double risk - both to health and to compliance:
Drinking-water contamination
A worn device that fails during a pressure drop lets contaminated water from the site flow back into the public drinking-water network.
Fines and warnings
The absence of a valid test certificate exposes the business to warnings and fines from the water utility, and sometimes to a supply cutoff.
Failure at the critical moment
Without a test, there is no way to know the device still seals. The failure shows up exactly when it's most dangerous - when it's already too late.
