The  Backflow Prevention Institute® (BPI) was created 20 years ago By Dr. Stuart F. Asay P.E., Ph.D. to provide a higher level of training for all those involved within the backflow prevention industry.

• The founder of BPI helped write and create the Department of Public Health and Environment Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations, Article 12: Hazardous Cross-Connections.  

• He has been teaching backflow prevention classes since 1984, and then officially founded the Backflow Prevention Institute in 1987.

• In 1984, Dr. Asay founded The American Backflow Prevention Association (ABPA) and later the Colorado Backflow Prevention Association (CBPA). And now ABPA has chapters across America and also internationally, because of Dr. Asay.
