Health & Legal Compliance

WHY DOES BACKFLOW TESTING
MATTER?

Backflow occurs when pressure drops in a water system, allowing contaminated or polluted water to reverse its flow into the clean water supply. For commercial and industrial facilities, this poses a severe health hazard.

Under local regulations in Melbourne, property owners are legally mandated to conduct annual backflow testing. Failing to comply can result in severe legal penalties, disrupted operations, and risks to public safety.

Future Flow Plumbing provides fully certified, zero-hassle backflow prevention and testing. We handle the technical requirements and regulatory paperwork, ensuring your facility remains 100% compliant and fully operational.

Every physical inspection is strictly conducted in accordance with AS/NZS 2845.1 standards, ensuring your property meets all regulatory compliance benchmarks without exception.

FAQs

Clear answers about backflow compliance, scheduling, and minimizing disruption to your operations.

HOW OFTEN DOES MY BACKFLOW DEVICE NEED TESTING?

By law, backflow prevention devices must be tested annually to ensure compliance with local water authority regulations. We provide annual reminders so you never miss a deadline.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY BACKFLOW DEVICE FAILS THE TEST?

If a device fails, it requires immediate repair or replacement to remain compliant. Our technicians carry standard parts and can often complete repairs on the spot to avoid further delays.

DO I NEED TO BE ON-SITE DURING THE TESTING?

Not necessarily. As long as we have clear access to the device and your permission to proceed, we can conduct the test and email you the compliance report once completed.

WILL MY WATER BE TURNED OFF DURING THE TEST?

Yes, testing a backflow device requires a brief interruption to the water supply—typically around 15 to 30 minutes. We can schedule tests during off-peak hours to minimize disruption to your business.

HOW MUCH DOES BACKFLOW TESTING COST?

Costs vary depending on the number of devices and their accessibility. We offer straightforward, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for a precise quote based on your site requirements.

DO I NEED TO SUBMIT THE TEST RESULTS TO THE COUNCIL?

No, you don't need to worry about the paperwork. As licensed plumbers, we handle the submission of your compliance reports directly to the relevant water authority on your behalf.
