Claim:
An automatic rain gutter flushing system which automatically operates to clean and flush leaves and other debris from gutters and downspouts comprising, in combination: an eave gutter positionable in proximity to a periphery of a roof of a building to receive and direct water as well as leaves and other debris; a standard 3 inch by 4 inch downspout having an upper end coupled with respect to the gutter and a lower end for directing water and leaves and other debris to a remote location and with a generally cone shaped enlarged drop outlet operatively coupling the upper end of the downspout and the gutter; a plurality of spraying components, each of the spraying components including a 90 degree directional fitting with a mounting bracket secured to the gutter and split eye connector coupling an associated fitting with an associated mounting bracket and a spray nozzle, the nozzle being coupled with the fitting and the fitting being coupled with the conduit; the fitting held in place with the gutter by the split eye connector, each fitting and an associated mounting bracket and split eye connector and spray nozzle being positioned at spaced locations along the gutter to direct a flow of water along with leaves and other debris along the gutter and down the outlet and downspout; a water source with a conduit coupling the water source and the fittings for providing water to the gutter for moving leaves and other debris along the gutter and down the drop outlet and downspout during operation and use; control components along the conduit sequentially from the water source to the fittings including a control valve and an anti-siphon valve and a one-way check valve and an electric water pressure pump, the control components adapted to control the flow of water from the water source to the fittings and gutter; and an electronic timer operatively coupling the control valve and the electric water pressure pump with an electric power source powering the electronic timer and the electric water pressure pump.
