Licensed, bonded, and insured irrigation specialists providing fast and reliable repairs across Central Florida.
At Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair and Irrigation, we provide certified backflow testing services for irrigation systems throughout Orlando and Central Florida. Whether you’re a homeowner, property manager, or business owner, ensuring your irrigation system is properly tested and compliant with Florida regulations is crucial. Our team helps protect your drinking water, stay compliant with local laws, and keep your sprinkler systems running efficiently.
Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction from its intended path. In irrigation systems, this means potentially contaminated water from your lawn or garden could flow back into the public drinking water supply. This can happen due to changes in water pressure and is a serious health hazard.
Backflow can allow pesticides, fertilizers, animal waste, and other contaminants to enter the drinking water system. That’s why all irrigation systems in Florida are required to have a functioning backflow prevention device and why regular testing is critical.
Florida law requires annual backflow testing for all properties with irrigation systems connected to the public water supply. Local municipalities, including Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC), enforce these regulations to ensure backflow preventers are operating properly and protecting public health.
Failure to perform annual backflow testing can result in penalties, service disconnection, or citations from your local water authority. Having your system tested by a certified professional not only keeps you compliant but also protects your home or property from contamination risks.
