Eyewash with automatic stagnant water flushing system

A water flushing system comprising:

• an eyewash station;
• a flow controlled passage having an inlet adapted for fluid connection to a pressurized water distribution system and an outlet adapted for fluid connection to the eyewash station;
• an eyewash valve disposed along the flow controlled passage for selectively permitting and prohibiting the flow of pressurized water through the flow controlled passage and into the shower head;
• a discharge passage branching from the flow controlled passage upstream of the eyewash valve;
• a discharge valve disposed along the discharge passage for selectively permitting and prohibiting the flow of pressurized water through the discharge passage;
• and
• a programmable controller for regulating the flow of pressurized water through the discharge passage by activating and deactivating the discharge valve on a predetermined timed basis, whereby stagnant water can be flushed from the flow controlled passage to maintain water quality in the flow controlled passage as delivered to the eyewash station.
