What is Flush Flow associated with in a drip or trickle system?

Flush Flow in a drip or trickle irrigation system refers to the initial flow necessary to ensure that the system operates efficiently. This initial flow helps remove any debris or air that may have accumulated in the lines since the last use. When the system is first activated, the Flush Flow ensures that all components, including emitters and lines, are cleared of blockages that could impede water delivery.

By facilitating this process, Flush Flow is critical for maintaining optimal water distribution and preventing uneven watering across the irrigated area. It prepares the system for effective irrigation by ensuring that all parts are functioning correctly before regular operations begin. This initial flushing is particularly important for systems susceptible to clogging, especially those using raw water sources.
