Water backflow prevention is an aspect of plumbing that can sometimes get forgotten, but it is crucial. Without a water backflow preventer, water can flow in either direction, which is a docHub hazard for contamination.
One backflow assemblies their are two shut-offs that are required for testing. Both of these valves need to completely close in order to do a test on your device. If during the test we find that water continues to flow through the these shut-offs, the test cannot be completed and it would result in a failed test.
How long the backflow preventers last? The backflow preventers are strongly made and assemblies that are installed are for about 50 plus years.
TESTABLE ASSEMBLIES: For the protection of your drinking water supply the backflow prevention assembly, as described on the reverse-side of this form, shall be tested at least annually pursuant to the requirements outlined in the California Code of Regulations, Title 17 7605, Los Angeles County Code, Title 11 11.38

Open the high A valve. Slowly open the low B valve no more than turn. Hold the valve at this position and observe the gauge reading at the first moment the first discharge is noted from the relief valve. Record this as the opening differential pressure of the relief valve on the test report form.
