It goes to a custom-made flushing "T" diverter. The "T" shape having two discharge outlets, decreases the velocity of the flow. By attaching it to the truck, it safely diverts the water flow onto pavement. I have a pitot tube and gauge built-in to the device attached to the hydrant. By using this system, it virtually eliminates soil erosion/landscaping problems, as well as minimizing the "getting wet" factor by not having to manually hold a pitot tube :-)

Thanks for all you do. To ensure you are doing what you do best let Hydro-Guard lend you a hand. Our Automatic and Programmable Flushing Systems can do this job for you. They keep the lines from building up with the contaminants that result in the red water you flushed out and they can save your community a more than $7,000 and 180,000 gallons of water per site annually.

What is the hose going to by the truck? I use a flow defuser and manually take the readings with a pitot tube.
