YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW HOW TO TEST BACKFLOW PREVENTERS
How many of you BPAT testers know that several of the testing procedures have been changed in the 10th Edition of the USC Manual? If you are not aware of the changes you:
1. Have not attended the local San Antonio Chapter ABPA meetings this year2. Have attended but have not been paying attention to the informative discussions
3. Don’t care to keep up with the current procedures. The issue of not keeping up with the latest
procedures is not knowing how to pass your hands-on testing when it comes due. The testing in the future will be conducted using the new procedures and not the older ones that most of us have used for years. The charts on pages 6 and 7 describe the differences in the testing procedures between the 9th Edition and the 10th Edition of the USC Manual of Cross Connection Control.
