Plumbing contractors lack a reliable, standardized process for safely turning on water service after a new installation, relying on risky practices like immediate full pressure without proper testing.

No purpose-built field tool exists that guides a plumber step-by-step through pressure testing and safe turn-on procedures, capturing results and compliance data.
