These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 8 parts and 59 topics.
You're standing in a mechanical room: a boiler fill line, a hose bibb with the hose dropped in a bucket, a chemical feed tank. The written exam asks which ones are cross-connections, and which are direct or indirect.
The manual gives you the definition in three long paragraphs: actual or potential connection, potable system, any source of pollution or contamination. The words are right, but you can't see the room in them.
In this book, that same topic is one page: hose, irrigation, boiler, chemical tank and fire line, each one drawn and labeled direct or indirect. You see exactly where the drinking water meets something it shouldn't.
The rest of the book works the same way. Backsiphonage, backpressure, degree of hazard, the RP drawn open, the differential gauge: each one has its own page.
So when you walk into that room, on the job or on the exam, you spot the cross-connections and know what protects each one, without going back to the manual.
The exam and this book, hydraulics, cross-connections and hazard, the assemblies drawn open, the test kit, field tests step by step, installation and records, and exam-day review: 63 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
You're at the hands-on exam. The DC is in front of you, the kit is hooked up, and the evaluator says: show me check valve #1.
In the book, you open the DC test pages and see the frames: which valve you open, which you close and where the needle has to go, with the gauge drawn at every step.
Same with the PVB air inlet, the RP relief valve opening point, feet of head and psi, containment vs isolation and the RP installation rules: each one on its own page.
Backflow Tester Exam Illustrated is 8 parts and 59 topics, all drawn, and it ends with an exam-day review: every assembly, every test sequence and the hydraulics formulas, one page each.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
What the tester certification checks, why your state's procedure rules, how to read each page and the words testers use.
Pressure, feet of head and psi, gauge vs absolute, static vs dynamic, vacuum, backsiphonage, backpressure and which device handles which.
What a cross-connection is, pollutant vs contaminant, matching hazard to protection, containment vs isolation, the air gap, the AVB and high-hazard sites.
What makes it an assembly, the PVB, SVB, DC and RP in cutaway, how the relief valve thinks, DCDA and RPDA, orientation and approvals.
The differential gauge, the hoses and valves on the kit, bleeding air out, accuracy and calibration, and what to check before you touch the assembly.
The logic every test shares, then the PVB, SVB, DC and RP tests frame by frame, and how to restore service and record.
Installation rules for the RP, PVB and SVB, thermal expansion, repair and retest after a failure, the test report and testing frequency.
All the assemblies and all the test sequences on one page each, the formulas card, failed readings, the most frequent mistakes and exam day.
At the end of the book: An exam-day review with every assembly and every test sequence on one page, plus a hydraulics formulas card.
Exam-style questions on hydraulics, hazard, assemblies and field tests, each answer explained, so you can check what you really know before the written exam.
Quick-reference sheets with the most frequent mistakes in the test sequence and what each failed gauge reading points to, ready to print and keep in the truck.

Yes. It doesn't explain what a valve is. It starts from the exam: hydraulics, hazard, the four assemblies and the field tests, drawn so you can review fast.
From ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI Standard 5110 on tester qualifications, the U.S. EPA Cross-Connection Control Manual and the published field test procedures state programs use: the USC Manual, ABPA and AWWA M14. Every reading and minimum in the book is checked against those sources.
No, it's an independent illustrated study guide. The test pages follow the logic shared by the main U.S. procedures (USC, ABPA, AWWA M14), and every procedure page reminds you to check the one your state, program or water purveyor requires.
No. It doesn't give you a certificate or continuing education hours. Your certification still requires the approved course and the exams your program sets. This book helps you review and understand what you see there.
No. They're written for this book, in exam style, with each answer explained. They aren't official questions from any exam.
