Best Answer

A dry hydrant is backflushed after a suction hose connection is made to a fire department pumper. The backflushing occurs when the pump operator opens the water tank valve. This will allow tank water from the pumper to flow through the suction hose into the dry hydrant piping and strainer. This process allows dirt and debris from the water source that has collected in the dry hydrant strainer and pipe to be removed.
