Ensure the quality of your water today
RPZ valves (reduced pressure zone valves) are backflow prevention devices that protect your clean water supply from contamination. Properly functioning RPZ valves are a fundamental requirement for compliance with water regulations and preventing health risks.
At Aqua Compliance, our team of highly accredited engineers provides an outstanding RPZ valve testing service that includes detailed reports, valve maintenance and liaison with water undertakers.
Why you need RPZ valve testing
Maintaining safe water and drainage systems is more than just good practice - it’s a legal requirement under UK water regulations. RPZ valves act as backflow protection devices, so testing on a regular basis protects your water fittings and drinking water supply system from contamination. Here’s why it’s essential:
Compliance with regulations
Under water authority guidelines, including the Water Industry Act, regular testing is a mandatory service for RPZ valves. If you don't meet these legal requirements, you could face fines, legal action or compromised clean water supplies. Working with an approved RPZ valve tester like Aqua Compliance means your backflow preventer will always be compliant.
Backflow contamination prevention
The backflow of pollutants occurs when pressure differentials allow water to flow in the wrong direction. This can introduce bacteria, hazardous chemicals and other contaminants into your water supply. RPZ valves act as a reduced pressure backflow prevention device to stop this, and regular testing means you can identify any issues before they become a problem.
Protecting public health and operational efficiency
In commercial premises like health centres, industrial sites and properties with complex plumbing systems, backflow contamination can pose severe health risks. RPZ valve testing protects your water supplies from contamination, safeguarding both public health and the integrity of your cold water supply line.
Safeguarding water quality in all types of buildings, including offices and hospitality venues, is non-negotiable. Don’t leave it to chance.

What you’ll get from our RPZ valve testing service
Our RPZ valve testing services provide complete peace of mind. Each element of our service protects your commercial water systems, reducing the risk of contamination and making sure you comply with regulations.
Visual inspection
Our engineers perform accurate assessments and visual inspections of your valves to identify wear, damage or any issues that could lead to leaks or compromise the water quality in your plumbing systems.
Function testing of the valve
We test your RPZ valve to ensure it has the required level of backflow protection by verifying that the mechanical spring-loaded check valve and additional relief valve are functioning correctly. If they're not, we can fix them to keep them functional going forward.
Disassembly, component inspection and rebuild
We carefully disassemble every valve for a detailed inspection, where we examine each component for defects. We'll then rebuild your valve to its original standards, remedying any issues and making sure it's fit for long-term performance.
Cleaning and maintenance
We remove debris, sediment and any other contaminants that can compromise water quality or prevent constant water pressure. Our maintenance ensures the valve remains in optimal condition.
Full written reports and compliance documentation
Within one working day, we'll provide you with a comprehensive report that includes test results, observations and any follow-up actions as a certificate of compliance.
