Backflow & TMV

Many commercial and public buildings are required to have backflow prevention devices and thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs) tested annually.

These devices play an important role in protecting water safety and preventing scalding, particularly in environments where vulnerable people are present.

At Oceania Plumbing, we provide backflow testing and TMV testing across the Gold Coast, helping businesses and organisations remain compliant with local regulations.

• Annual backflow testing
• Annual TMV testing
• Fault finding and diagnostics
• Installation of new backflow prevention devices
• Installation of TMVs
• Repairs and replacements

If any issues are found during testing, we can advise on the necessary repairs to bring the system back into compliance.

Many businesses and organisations must keep records of annual testing to meet compliance requirements.

We help simplify the process by:

• Carrying out professional testing
• Providing documentation of the test results
• Lodging the required paperwork where applicable
• Advising if repairs or replacements are needed

This helps ensure your property remains compliant and your water systems remain safe.

Facilities such as schools, childcare centres and daycares have a particular responsibility to maintain safe water systems.

Regular testing ensures:

• Drinking water remains safe
• Hot water temperatures remain safe for children

FAQs

Backflow prevention devices typically need to be tested once per year by a licensed plumber to ensure they are operating correctly and protecting the water supply.

A backflow prevention device stops contaminated water from flowing back into the clean drinking water system.

They are commonly installed in commercial properties, irrigation systems and buildings where there is a risk of contamination.

A Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) controls the temperature of hot water at taps and showers.

It mixes hot and cold water to ensure the water delivered is at a safe temperature.

TMVs help prevent scalding injuries, particularly in facilities used by children, elderly people or patients.

They ensure hot water temperatures remain within safe limits.

Many schools, childcare centres and healthcare facilities require regular TMV testing to ensure hot water systems remain safe and compliant.
