I don't want to read page 220 of some long PDF Form. I don't care to go read some state code. I just wanted a simple yes or no answer.

Are backflow devices required when you install an irrigation system on a residential property in most major cities in CA?

It is a state law Jim .... what do you think the answer is? That said, a "properly installed" ASV is what you typically see in residential around my parts and this does satisfy state code requirements.

Get the nomenclature right, Dan. A "device" is non-testable, and only idiots permit them. What you (hopefully) meant was an "assembly", which can be tested and, depending on the little Nazi water purveyors, will be or be not permitted. I do hope your fire-line is not a "device". :cry:

I think you have too much time on your hands to nitpick posts here. Put down the bong and go wax your motorhome or something! :hammerhead:

If you think my post was directed at you, Don, you're wrong. The pups need to know the method of communication. I, for one, could give a rat about you or what-the-heck-is-his-name up in Oregon that drop in whenever you damn well feel like it and pontificate to the rest of us who are trying to help.

Mikey.... just so you know (because I'm sure that you can't remember due to your advanced age) my name is actually Dan, not "Don". Secondly, I don't pontificate to anyone here anymore than your or your buddy Kiril do. And third, did it ever dawn on you that the reason that I "drop in whenever I damn well feel like" is because, unlike you Mikey, I actually have a business that I run which keeps me quite busy? I guess what I am really trying to say is blow it out your ass buddy!

Awesome. That's what I thought. Thank you.

I see nothing has changed in this forum. Thanks for those who did honestly try to help though. Now go on and fight among yourselves. Don't let me get in your way. I'm outta here. :laugh:

Jim,
as what was said earlier, think your employee was talking about how CA is king of the asvs. Though now even my own city is going to require back flow device other than asv's for the simple fact that a lot of idiots put the asv's at bottom of a grade or in a valve box because they don't want to see the valves.

My favorite is there is a develolpment in South west section of Stockton. Not one house has an isolation valve (simple gate or ball valve).
