Flushing Irrigation In Greenhouse in the Greenhouses forum

Thread OP

Hello All,

Was wondering what is effective for flushing the irrigation pipes in my greenhouses? I reside in California.

I have researched the following products (which seem effective, but harsh and dangerous):
Strip-It
KleenGrow

Any suggestions?

Why do you need to flush them? I've owned and been around a lot of greenhouses, and that has never come up.

When it has come up, the lines are flushed with water. Cap all the sprinkler heads but one and turn the water on. Repeat until you run out of risers. When I lived someplace with commercial field operations, they flushed with Hydrogen peroxide to kill algae.
