Abstract:
1. A water flushing system comprising: a shower head; a flow controlled passage having an inlet adapted for fluid connection to a pressurized water distribution system and an outlet adapted for fluid connection to the shower head; a shower head valve disposed along the flow controlled passage for selectively permitting and prohibiting the flow of pressurized water through the flow controlled passage and into the shower head; a discharge passage branching from the flow controlled passage upstream of the shower head valve; a discharge valve disposed along the discharge passage for selectively permitting and prohibiting the flow of pressurized water through the discharge passage; and a programmable controller for regulating the flow of pressurized water through the discharge passage by activating and deactivating the discharge valve on a predetermined timed basis, whereby stagnant water can be flushed from the flow controlled passage to maintain water quality in the flow controlled passage as delivered to the shower head.
