NA-06 - Cleaning: Flushing Methods

Flushing methods with reservoir -Tipping bucket

Tipping bucket

Flushing systems with a tipping bucket are used for the automatic cleaning of stormwater storage basins (e.g. stormwater sewer, stormwater overflow basin etc.). The flushing water is stored in a relatively small reservoir in the form of a tipping bucket or pivoting drum, from where it is released abruptly in order to form the surge wave.
