BACKFLOW COURSES

In 2008 Test Gauge began hosting a 4 hr CEU course on backflow testing and repairs. The course, which also includes a section on test kit functions, is focused on refreshing the Cross Connection Tester on testing procedures as well as hands on repairs for approved assemblies, for the state of Illinois.
