Testing of RPZ Valves
If your company has a Reduced Pressure Zone Water Valve installed it is a requirement that this is checked by an authorised tester. Bluewater Valves Ltd is an approved supplier, installer and tester of Reduced Pressure Zone Water Valves.
Backflow from fittings or appliances resulting in unwholesome water passing into drinking water supplies can constitute a serious public health hazard. There are numerous, well documented cases where backflow has resulted in contamination incidents which were harmful to health. The installation and use of an RPZ Valve requires a long-term commitment to testing and maintenance on a regular basis. Test methods and maintenance regimes shall be in accordance with the Water Supplier’s requirements.
