Backflow prevention and TMV testing
- Friendly and professional advice
Compliance that protects people — and your facility
Backflow prevention and TMV testing aren’t optional for the facilities that need them. They’re a legal requirement, and for premises serving children, elderly residents, or medically vulnerable people, they’re an ethical one too.
Taro Flow is certified for both backflow prevention testing and TMV testing and servicing. We handle the testing, the documentation, and the submission — so your compliance records stay current and your facility stays protected.

BACKFLOW PREVENTION TESTING
What is backflow?
Who needs backflow testing?
Any commercial or high-risk premises with a backflow prevention device installed.
This includes:
- Childcare centres and schools
- Aged care and nursing homes
- Medical and dental practices
- Commercial kitchens and hospitality venues
- Strata and mixed-use buildings
- Any premises identified as a high or medium hazard site by the water authority
What is a TMV?
Who needs TMV testing?
TMV testing is required in facilities that care for or serve vulnerable populations:
- Childcare centres
- Aged care and nursing homes
- Disability support facilities
- Hospitals and medical facilities
Testing and servicing schedule
Minor service — every 6 months
Temperature check, flow test, and fail-safe test.
Major service — annually
Full disassembly, inspection, cleaning, replacement of worn internal components, and temperature calibration.
Not sure what type of testing you need?
Every recommendation is based on what’s right for your business, not what’s easiest to fit or fastest to source. If you’re not sure what you need, that’s fine. An honest assessment is always the starting point. We also keep commercial and strata drains clear with high pressure jetting and CCTV inspections.

Compliance and risk
This is not optional maintenance.
Failure to maintain current backflow and TMV compliance certification can result in regulatory action. More importantly, it creates genuine risk to the health and safety of building occupants.
For facilities serving children, elderly residents, or medically vulnerable people, staying on top of compliance is both a legal and an ethical obligation. Taro Flow provides clear documentation of all testing and servicing outcomes, making it straightforward for facility managers and strata to maintain accurate compliance records.
