Claim Text:
1. An automated flushing system, comprising: a base comprising a plurality of solenoid valves each mounted on said manifold so as to extend into a respective one of said auxiliary flow channels thereof, said each solenoid valve being actuatable between an activated status and a deactivated status to allow and block flow communication of a liquid through said respective one of said auxiliary flow channels to a respective one of said flow outlets; a pressure switch mounted on said manifold adjacent to and in flow communication with said flow inlet, said pressure switch being configured to sense the pressure of a liquid entering said main flow channel from said flow inlet being above a preset minimum pressure as a precondition to initiating operation of the automated flushing system; a cover having a bottom rim extending peripherally about said cover, said cover also having an inside surface defining a hollow interior, said cover being adapted to fit over said manifold of said base and enclose said pressure switch and said plurality of solenoid valves in said hollow interior with said bottom rim of said cover resting upon a bottom ledge extending peripherally about said base, wherein said base has a lip extending peripherally about said base and defined in a spaced relationship above said bottom ledge; and an O-ring seated upon said lip of said base such that when said bottom rim of said cover is resting upon said bottom ledge of said base a seal is formed between said inside surface of said cover and said O-ring.
