Sequence

Notes the order in which the hydrant is to be flushed within the route.

Flush Type

Indicates the type of flush to be performed.

Hydrant Number

Displays the hydrant's user-defined ID. Click the field caption button or press F9 for list of Hydrant records.

Address

Specifies the address at which the hydrant is located. Automatically populated from the Address fields in the Hydrant record's header.

Notes

Provides information about flushing this particular hydrant. Automatically populated from the Flushing Comment on the Hydrant record's Custom tab.

Target Flush Duration

Indicates the amount of time that the hydrant should be flushed. Automatically populated from the related Hydrant records on the flushing route.

# of Nozzles Used

Indicates the number of hydrant nozzles that should be used during the flush. Automatically populated from the related Hydrant record on the flushing route.

Target GPM

Indicates the rate at which the hydrant should be flushed. Automatically populated from the related Hydrant record.

Flushed By

Names the employee who flushed the hydrant.

Date Flushed

States the date on which the flush occurred.

Start Time

Specifies the time the flush started.

End Time

Specifies the time the flush ended.

Time Flushed

Calculates the amount of time (in minutes) it took to flush the hydrant based on the Start Time and End Time.

Discharge Rate

Indicates the rate at which water left the system (in gallons per minute).

Discharge Volume

States the amount of water flushed out the of the system. Calculated as: Discharge Rate x Time Flushed.

Note: Users can enter this value manually or recalculate it using the F5 key.

Total Pipe Length

Calculates the amount of pipe cleaned during the flush by adding the lengths of all pipes in the Pipes Cleaned grid associated with the hydrant.

Loss Number

Displays the number for the Water Loss record the system generates to track the water flushed out of the system.

Static Pressure (psi)

Records the water pressure in the system when no water is being flushed.

Residual Pressure (psi)

Records the water pressure at the hydrant when another hydrant is being flushed.

Flow at 20 psi

Indicates the number of gallons per minute that would flow under a pressure of 20 psi. Calculated as:

Discharge Rate x [(Static Pressure - 20)/(Static Pressure - Residual Pressure)]^.54

Chlorine Start

Specifies the amount of chlorine measured at the start of the process.

Chlorine End

Specifies the amount of chlorine measured at the end of the process.

Problem 1

Problem 2

Problem 3

Indicates agency-defined problems that should be noted during the flushing.
