Manual
Flush Caps
■ Automatic ush caps operate by automatically ushing a small
amount of water each time the system is activated. Observe the
ush operation annually to ensure that ushing is occurring
properly.
■ The system must be ushed thoroughly after repairs or alterations
are made to the irrigation components. Automatic ush caps do
not allow enough water to pass through excessive debris and,
therefore, must be removed in order to eect a manual ush.
■ Manual ush caps should be ushed three times each irrigation
season for a period of 30 to 60 seconds or until the ush water is
visibly clean. More frequent ushing may be required under
extremely dirty water conditions. Flushing is also necessary any
time the system is repaired.
