Block 1. Property and water supplier Label: Primary Water supplier: Count of assemblies: 1 Next date you entered: Fire-line status: unknown Do not assume a plumber can test it. Ask the water supplier whether this assembly is on a fire line. Block 2. Questions before you hire a tester Ask: is filing the report included, which agency receives it, what happens if the assembly fails. [ ] Confirmed whether tester submits the official pass report directly to the water supplier [ ] Verified which municipal portal or agency address receives the completed test form [ ] Asked in writing what happens (repair vs. re-test fee) if an assembly fails [ ] Checked with the water supplier whether any valve is on a fire-protection line [ ] Recorded serial number and physical meter/vault/riser location for each assembly Block 3. Per-assembly test log Valve # | Serial / Size | Line type | Test date | Tester cert # | Submitted to utility (Y/N) 1 | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________ Block 4. What this file is not We do not test and we do not file the report. Prepared by Backflow Test Log (backflowtestlog.com). Source notes read 2026-11-13. We are not a certified backflow tester; a water utility; a fire-line contractor.
A reminder is an email we send before the next date you typed. It is not a notice from the water supplier, and it does not book a tester. You pick the date. We count backward from it. The three sends are 30 days before, 7 days before, and 1 day before. A one-time $19 checklist does not schedule any of them.
The plans that do schedule them are $39/year and $299 for one date, and $149/year and $999 for the published multi-location price. Checkout still records one next date, one water supplier, one assembly count, and one label. The reminder uses that date. Pricing shows the five amounts. The card is the amount that is charged.
What a May 1 date actually sends
If you type 2027-05-01, the 30-day email is dated 2027-04-01, the 7-day email is dated 2027-04-24, and the 1-day email is dated 2027-04-30. Those are calendar counts from the day you entered. We do not move them because a weekend falls in between, and we do not guess a different day if your notice only named a month.
The subject line says the next date you entered is in that many days, and it includes the label you typed. An empty label becomes the word Primary. The body says you asked for the email, tells you to open the official page or the local contact named on your checklist, and says the message is a calendar reminder only.
Which plans stay quiet
The $19 plan emails the PDF and stops. You still typed a date, because the checklist prints it, but no 30-day, 7-day, or 1-day message is created. If you later want the reminders, that is a new purchase of a plan that includes them. This page does not describe a same-day upgrade button. The pricing form sells the five plans that are on the cards.
Annual plans can be canceled before the next renewal. Cancellation stops the next charge and future reminders. It does not refund a period in which we already sent the checklist or a reminder. The $299 and $999 charges are once. After we send the checklist or a reminder, that sale is final. You can still stop future emails. Stopping them does not refund the charge. The full wording is on the refund policy.
Renewal and a second notice
When an annual plan renews, the stored date moves forward one year. A repeat notice for the same renewal does not stack a second year on top. The reminders are then counted from the new date. We do not keep two calendars for one order.
If the supplier sends a different date before that, the website account page cannot edit it. The account page shows the email you signed in with. It does not show the PDF and it does not show a date editor. Write support@backflowtestlog.com from the address you paid with and include the new date. Water supplier notice is how to copy that date off the letter without inventing the day.
How to stop the emails
Every reminder has a one-click stop link. Using it stops a reminder that has not been sent, including one that is due tomorrow. It does not delete the PDF you already received, and it does not cancel a charge by itself. Cancellation of a yearly renewal is a separate request to support@backflowtestlog.com.
We do not call you when the date is close. We do not text you. The form has no phone field on purpose. If the emails are going to the wrong inbox, write from the address you paid with and say which address should receive them. How Backflow Test Log works is the order of the whole purchase, from the free pages to the single email that carries the PDF.
Why three reminders instead of one
One reminder at one moment has to guess how much lead time you need. Three does not. The 30-day email is early enough to call a tester and book a slot, the 7-day email is close enough to confirm the appointment, and the 1-day email is late enough to catch a date that slipped. Each message says which of the three it is, so you can tell at a glance whether you have already handled it.
The schedule is fixed. We do not send an extra reminder when you open one, and we do not resend a message because it bounced. If an address is wrong, the three messages go to the wrong inbox and the schedule still counts them as sent. Write support from the address you paid with before the first email is due if you need the address changed.
What the subject and body say
The subject names the number of days and the label you typed, so a message that says 7 days and Kitchen is about the kitchen assembly, not the whole property. An empty label becomes the word Primary. The body says you asked for the reminder, points you to the official page or the local contact named on your checklist, and states that the message is a calendar reminder only. It does not pretend to be the water supplier.
The reminder does not repeat the supplier’s rule, a fee, or a deadline we have not verified. It repeats the date you entered and the label, and it tells you where to look. That is the whole message. If you want the questions to ask when you call, open the PDF you saved; the reminder is a calendar nudge, not a second copy of the checklist.
How the day boundary works
A reminder is counted in calendar days from the date you typed, not in hours from the moment you bought. The 30-day email for 2027-05-01 is dated 2027-04-01, the 7-day email is dated 2027-04-24, and the 1-day email is dated 2027-04-30. If the notice gave you a month but no day, ask the supplier for the day before you buy; a guessed day produces emails on the wrong days.
The send happens on the date shown, in the time zone our mail system uses. If you are far from that zone, the message may arrive late in your evening or early in your morning. Treat the date in the subject as the anchor, not the clock time in your inbox. A message that arrives after midnight on the day it names is still the correct reminder, not a late one.
When a property changes hands
The reminder belongs to the person who paid, not to the address. If you sell or hand over a property, the new owner does not inherit your emails, and your schedule keeps running unless you stop it. Stop the reminders with the one-click link in any message, and cancel a yearly plan before the renewal if you no longer want the charge.
If a manager takes over the account, write support from the address you paid with and say which address should receive the mail. We do not add a second recipient to an order, and we do not forward a reminder to a tenant. Keep the order with the person who is responsible for the test, and keep the new owner’s own purchase separate.
Yearly, lifetime, and the date they store
The yearly plans renew until cancelled, and each renewal moves the stored date forward one year. A repeat notice for the same renewal does not stack a second year on top. The lifetime plans are a single charge for the same three emails on one date, with no renewal. In both cases the date on the order is the date the schedule follows.
The account page shows which email is signed in. It does not show the date and it does not edit it. If the supplier moves the day, write support from the address you paid with and give the old date and the new date exactly as the letter wrote them. Until that request is processed, the old schedule keeps running. A failed test is not a new date by itself; only a date the supplier actually gave you should replace the one you typed.
What a reminder cannot do
A reminder cannot book a tester, file a report, or confirm that an assembly passed. It cannot tell you whether the notice is about a fire line, and it cannot tell you what a test will cost. It also does not stop a supplier from charging a late fee if you miss the date. The email is a nudge and nothing more; the work still belongs to you and to the people you hire.
A reminder also cannot be used as proof that you complied. It is our message, not the supplier’s record. If an agency asks whether a test happened, the answer is the report the tester filed, not an email from us. Keep the filed result with your own papers, and treat the reminder as the thing that helped you remember to get it.
A calendar you can check yourself
You can check the schedule with an ordinary calendar before you buy. Take the date on the notice and count three numbers backward: 30, 7, and 1. If the date is 2027-05-01, the three sends fall on 2027-04-01, 2027-04-24, and 2027-04-30. If one of those days is a weekend, the reminder still falls on that day; we do not shift it to a weekday.
If the three dates land on days when your office is closed, that is useful to know before you buy. You may prefer the one-time plan and your own calendar, or you may want the three emails anyway because someone checks the inbox remotely. The choice is yours, and the pricing page shows the one-time plan next to the reminder plans.
What a reminder is not
A reminder is not a notice, a filing, a repair, or a test. It does not create an appointment and it does not tell the supplier that anything happened. It is our email, sent to the address on the order, with the date and label you typed. If the supplier asks for proof, the answer is the report the tester filed, not our message.
A reminder is also not a guarantee that the date is right. If the notice is ambiguous or the supplier changes the day, the reminder follows the old value until support updates it. The email is a nudge that helps you remember a date you chose; it is not a source of truth about the deadline, and it cannot correct a date you entered wrong.
Do you choose the test date?
No. You type the date from your notice. We only count 30, 7, and 1 days backward from that day.
Does the $19 plan send reminders?
No. It emails the checklist once. Reminders are on the $39/year, $299, $149/year, and $999 plans.
Can I change the date on the account page?
No. That page does not edit the date. Email support@backflowtestlog.com from the address you paid with.
Do the reminders keep coming after I stop them?
No. The one-click link stops a reminder that has not been sent, including one due tomorrow. It does not cancel a yearly renewal by itself; that is a separate request to support from the address you paid with.
What if my email provider blocks the reminder?
Check spam and the promotions folder, then write support from the address you paid with. We can resend the PDF, but we cannot guarantee delivery to an inbox that filters us. A saved PDF and your own calendar are the fallback.
Can I have reminders for two dates on one order?
No. The checkout stores one date. A multi-location plan is priced for up to five locations, and extra dates are added by writing support after you pay, from the address you paid with.
Do reminders include a tester’s phone number?
No. The message points you to the official page or the local contact named on your checklist. We do not recommend a tester and we do not add a phone number to the email.
What if the reminder arrives on a weekend?
It still arrives on the date it names. We do not shift a send to a weekday, and we do not skip a day because an office is closed. If that matters, choose the one-time plan and keep your own calendar instead.
Does a reminder repeat every year automatically?
Only on a yearly plan that renews and moves the stored date forward one year. The lifetime plans do not repeat on their own, and the one-time $19 plan never sends a reminder. If the supplier gives a new date, support updates it.
