A cross-connection is any point where clean drinking water could come into contact with non-drinkable water or contaminants. Common examples include irrigation systems, pools, hose connections, commercial equipment, fire protection systems, and plumbing lines connected to chemicals or standing water.

Yes. A certified backflow test can find pressure loss, failing check valves, weak springs, worn seals, internal debris, or relief valve problems before the device shows obvious leaks. A backflow preventer can look normal and still fail testing.
