Who needs one?
If your property matches one of these, check what devices you have and when they were last tested.
Common sites that need a device.
Annual testing
Tell us how many devices you have, where they are and when the test is due. You get a fixed price and a time that suits your trading hours.
We test each device with a test kit and lodge the results with your water authority. If anything fails, you get a price for the fix first.
We keep your device details on file and get in touch when the next annual test comes round, so it does not slip past the due date.
Device types
The device a site needs depends on how much of a hazard its water use poses to the supply. We confirm the hazard rating before anything is installed.

Backflow explained
Backflow happens when water in a property's pipes runs back toward the mains. It is usually caused by a sudden drop in mains pressure, such as a burst water main or heavy firefighting use nearby, which can siphon water backwards. It can also happen when the pressure on your side is higher than the supply, for example from a pump, a pressurised system or a raised tank. If that water has touched chemicals, soil or equipment, it should never reach the drinking water network.
A backflow prevention device uses spring-loaded valves that only let water move one way. Springs weaken, rubber seals wear and grit can hold a valve slightly open, and none of that shows from the outside. That is why testable devices generally need testing at least once a year, with the result lodged with the water authority for your area, whether that is Urban Utilities, Logan Water, Unitywater or your local council.
Some properties have one device at the boundary that protects the mains from everything on site. Others also need devices on particular fixtures, such as a coffee machine line, a dental chair supply or an irrigation zone. A new cafe fit-out, a clinic moving into a tenancy or a tank being connected to mains water can all change what is required, so it pays to ask before the work starts.
We isolate the device, connect a test kit to its test points and check that each valve holds as it should. If everything passes, we restore the supply and lodge the results. If a valve fails, we explain what is wrong and give you a fixed price for the repair or replacement before we touch it, then retest so the result can be lodged.
If you have received a test notice from your water authority, send us a photo of it along with the device locations. We can book the test around your trading hours, keep your device details on file and remind you when the next one is due.
