How often do backflow preventer valves need to be replaced?

Most backflow preventers should be replaced when they fail a certified test, leak, or can’t be restored with manufacturer-approved parts. Lifespan varies based on water quality, pressure, and usage. We recommend routine testing and service; a Tureks technician can help determine whether repair or full replacement offers the best value for your property in Appleton and nearby areas.

Quick checks:

  • Failed test or inability to hold pressure
  • Continuous drip from the relief port
  • Cracked body (often caused by freezing)
  • Corrosion, seized shutoff valves, or obsolete parts
