Has anyone used the Axiom Pressure Pal as a water feed for hydronic systems? It seems like an innovative product and could save a lot of money in jurisdictions like San Francisco that require an expensive RP device backflow preventer along with yearly, expensive backflow certification.

I love them, the price has even come down a bit since the first one I put in. They are perfect when there is glycol in the system and as you said you dont want a RP device that will need testing.
State of vermont just told us they want NOTHING in the system except water, or you gotta have the RPZ. So I asked if I had a plugged system and need to clean it, then flush, they said would need an RPZ. I got a bit sad. I understand what they are trying to do, but common sense has to prevail.Tom
