InfoWater Pro UDF helps develop an effective unidirectional flushing program for cleaning water mains. This can restore hydraulic capacity and enhance water quality.

From the InfoWater Pro ribbon, UDF panel, click the UDF button to open the UDF Attribute Browser.

The UDF Attribute Browser displays the properties of any UDF feature—hydrant, valve, or pipe—selected with the UDF Selection tool.

In the UDF Attribute Browser, a table of properties for the selected element.

Hydrant, Valve, and Pipe Considerations:

For hydrants, InfoWater Pro UDF assumes that only one nozzle on the hydrant is open during the flush sequence. The emitter coefficient should reflect the flow nozzle size. Information related to hydraulic calculations is required.

For valves, UDF assumes that all valves are open, unless specified as closed within the Flush Sequence Manager. Valves are also specified as closed when set to close within a sequence.

For UDF analysis of pipes, all pipe information fields are optional. Information in these fields is only intended to better understand the system.

Information in bold, but not underlined, is required for UDF analysis. Other fields contain information to help understand the system.
