How often do backflow preventer valves need to be replaced?

There isn’t a fixed replacement schedule for backflow preventers. Replace the valve when it fails a functional test, leaks, corrodes, or its shutoffs stick. Lifespan depends on water quality, usage, and environment. Regular maintenance helps catch issues early in Dayton and nearby areas.

Quick checks:

• Look for drips or discharge from the relief port.
• Check for corrosion on body and fittings.
• If it won’t hold pressure or operate smoothly, plan replacement.
