Riptide® ALX™ Flow Testers/Diffusers
Riptide® ALX™ Flow Testers/Diffusers
• Field configurable for safe flushing and flow testing
• Portable and lightweight enough for one operator to handle
• UL listed
The Riptide ALX flow tester/diffuser makes hydrant flushing and flow testing safe and hassle-free. It ensures water is safely discharged to protect lawns and property while also keeping the operator dry. At approximately 20 pounds, the stand-alone ALX unit is constructed of lightweight anodized aluminum and features a welded handle for easy portability.
Simply attach the gauge and fire hose to the 2.5" NST(F) swivel connection, and water flows through the built-in pitot. The rubber feet keep the diffuser anchored in place so water is flushed away in the desired direction. The pitot is replaceable if worn or damaged (stock # 405207).
Note: 4" pressure gauge is required for pressure readouts and must be ordered separately.

USABlueBook Aluminum Dechlorination Diffusers
USABlueBook Aluminum Dechlorination Diffusers
• Convenient, easy-to-use tablet feed
• Safely neutralize chlorine/chloramines while flushing hydrants
Our dechlorination diffuser is for use with chemically treated (10 ppm or less chlorine/chloramines) potable water. It attaches directly to 2-1/2" NST hydrant threads to handle flows from 200 to 1250 gpm at pressures up to 200 psi. Diffuser features sturdy aluminum construction and weighs only 17 lbs.
The diffuser holds nine sodium sulfite tablets or ascorbic acid/vitamin C tablets. During flushing, spot check the tablet consumption approximately every 10,000 gallons of flow. Tablets are listed separately below.
Customize diffuser with optional accessories
Add the tablet extension tube to load as many as 20 additional tablets to the diffuser feed. The tube features clear Lexan® construction, so you can see the level of the tablets and refill as needed.
We recommend the tablet screen when using ascorbic acid dechlorination tablets. The screen adjusts tablet consumption rate to the proper amount for 0 to 4 ppm chlorine concentration. Add an optional pitot tube assembly with gauge to convert this diffuser into a Dechlorination Diffuser/Flow Tester. It attaches easily with two mounting screws, and features a quick-disconnect connection for the gauge.
Use two low-flow inserts in situations where the flow is less than 200 gpm. These easy-to-install inserts redirect flow through the tablet feed area to ensure adequate exposure to the tablets.
For additional control over discharge, you can connect the diffuser to the hydrant via fire hose or with the steel hitch bracket holder, which lets you direct flow. For higher flow rates, use the hydrant wye to attach two diffusers at once to increase the flow capacity to approximately 2500 gpm. All items are sold separately below.
Note: Pitot tube assembly and gauge are sold separately.

Eclipse 9700 Series Portable Automatic Flushing Hydrants
• Portable—move from hydrant to hydrant
• Choose from models with or without Bluetooth®
These portable flushing devices move easily from hydrant to hydrant. They come standard with a lockable aluminum enclosure. The perforated floor diffuses flushed water, or remove the floor and redirect flushing water through a hose. Devices thread into a standard 2-1/2" NST inlet for most fire hydrants, but if you have custom threads on your hydrant, adapters are available. Contact USABlueBook for more information.
The 9700 series has several optional accessories. The multidirectional diverter diffuses and sprays the discharge, while the meter stand protects your hydrant’s threads. Dechlorination baskets, security collar locks and sampling bibbs are also available.
Includes: lockable aluminum enclosure with key, 2-1/2" NST swivel connection, security collar lock, solenoid valve and self-contained digital controller.
