  • Publication number: 20220370933
    Abstract: Disclosed is a flushing system for flushing debris from a sand trap of an irrigation system. The system includes a controlled valve fluidly coupled to a flush outlet of the sand trap. The valve is electronically controlled, such that when open and with the irrigation system running, water from the irrigation system entering the sand trap, flushes the sand trap via the valve. In one embodiment, the flush system comprises a valve connected to a purge outlet of the sand trap. A control unit in electrical communication with the valve and a sensor is associated with the control unit for sensing an operation of the irrigation system. The control unit is configured to control the valve to open or close based on input from the sensor relating to operation of the irrigation system, wherein when the valve is open fluid and/or debris can be purged from the sand trap.
