STATUTORY PROGRAMED MAINTENANCE

Backflow Prevention

Local Tasmanian Councils requires businesses such as medical centres, hospitals, vetinary practices, commercial kitchens and laboratories to have a backflow prevention devise installed on your water supply to prevent contaminated water in the property from re-entering the mains supply or cross connecting internally during a pipe burst event.

Australian Standard 3500 – Part 1 – Section 4.46 requires that all backflow prevention devises be tested and certified by a licensed plumber every twelve months from date of installation to ensure the safety of the public water supply. Failure to comply with these testing requirements will result in legal action against your business by your Local City Council.

Backflow Testing and Certification is one of our core services and Squires plumbing provide:

  • Prompt, reliable and competitive service
  • Fully licensed expert technicians
  • Annual Reminder Letter
  • Testing between 7am – 5pm Monday to Friday
  • Signed Certificate of Test Results sent to you and your Local City Council

Thermostatic Mixing Valves

A thermostatic mixing valve is a mixing valve in which the temperature of the water from the mixed water outlet is automatically controlled by a thermostatic element or sensor to a preselected temperature that is suitable for direct contact with the skin.
