Why Most “Backflow Certifications”
Don’t Really Work
Many technicians waste time and money because they don’t understand how certification really works in New York.
You don’t know who really issues the certification
Many courses give you a paper, but not an official State registration.
Your name is not in the State system
If you are not in the NYSDOH database, for the State… you don’t exist as a certified tester.
You don’t meet the legal requirements
Especially in New York and NYC, this can make your work invalid.
