System, method, and apparatus for optimizing a timing of a flush valve

A flush valve controller for optimizing a timing of a flush valve to provide a consistent flush volume, the flush valve controller configured to execute program instructions stored thereon or in communication therewith that cause the flush valve controller to:

• receive, from a pressure sensor disposed in the flush valve, at least one flush valve pressure within the flush valve;
• control a solenoid disposed in the flush valve to cause the flush valve to open for a flush time;
• adjust the flush time based at least on the at least one flush valve pressure and a number of uses of the flush valve, resulting in an adjusted flush time;
• control the solenoid disposed in the flush valve to perform a flush by causing the flush valve to open for the adjusted flush time in response to a next flush request;
• and
• increment a counter for each flush, wherein the number of uses of the flush valve is based on the counter.

A method for optimizing a timing of a flush valve to provide a consistent flush volume, the flush valve comprising a flow area, a solenoid configured to open the flush valve to provide a flush through the flow area, and at least one pressure sensor arranged in the flush valve, comprising:

• measuring at least one flush valve pressure within the flush valve from data received from the at least one pressure sensor;
• controlling the solenoid to cause the flush valve to open for a flush time;
• adjusting a first flush time based at least on the at least one flush valve pressure and a number of uses of the flush valve, resulting in an adjusted flush time;
• controlling the solenoid to cause the flush valve to flush by opening the flush valve for the adjusted flush time in response to a next flush request;
• and
• incrementing a counter for each flush, wherein the number of uses of the flush valve is based on the counter.
