Cleaning the System

If done improperly, cleaning the system after the daily pumping job can be very hazardous. Water should be used for cleaning whenever possible and practical, since it is the best and safest cleaning method available.

If cleaning with compressed air, remember that the pressure builds up, and may remain in the line even after the supply is shut off, so a bleed-off valve should always be installed on the system when using compressed air.

Remember that this pressure can be of sufficient force to propel a clean-out ball through the open end with enough force to penetrate a concrete block wall. Therefore, whether using water or air pressure, install an end cap and a catcher to prevent injury to workers or damage to property.
