Your Specialist RPZ Valve Tester
As the UK's dedicated RPZ valve tester, Captain Backflow provides compliant annual testing for commercial premises nationwide. We use calibrated digital and manual equipment to confirm your valves are operating correctly and provide the documentation your water supplier expects.
What does an RPZ tester do?
An RPZ valve tester checks that both check valves and the relief valve inside your RPZ assembly are operating within the required pressure parameters. This confirms the valve is still providing the level of backflow protection your premises requires.
Annual testing is a requirement for most RPZ installations under UK water industry guidance. Captain Backflow carries out this testing using calibrated equipment and provides compliant documentation for your records, your water supplier and your insurer.
