Will that clean out 100' of old 1" Galv. supply line that is now about 1/4" inside diameter?

i have no clue, new to the leak detection site i belong to, if Lance Anderson designed it, it'll prolly work well for pools. i usually clean galvanized pipe with an excavator and a chain. Grip it and Rip it

I'm licensed, but rarely test anymore. I keep my CEU's current though. There are quite a few companies who only test around here and they have a good bit of work.

I wish all the cities who enforced back-flow inspection and testing were consistent throughout.

I'm not sure why they wouldn't. When I was testing I always gave the customer a copy of the report and put all permit numbers on the invoice along with the results of the test.

I was mostly curious about what a tester writes up when the system uses antisyphon valves.

Part of our regs is that you have to leave a copy of the test with the backflow at all times. We put them in sandwich bags and tape them to the backflow.

I send a copy to the water district, city, HO on every test.
