Proplachování

Proplachování, often translated as flushing or rinsing, refers to the process of passing a fluid, typically water or a cleaning solution, through a system or over a surface to remove unwanted substances. This can be done for various purposes, including cleaning, disinfection, and system maintenance.

In plumbing and water systems, proplachování is commonly used to clear out debris, sediment, or residual chemicals that may have accumulated. This is particularly important after new installations or repairs to ensure water quality and prevent blockages. For instance, after installing new pipes, a thorough proplachování is essential to remove any solder, flux, or manufacturing residue. Similarly, water heaters and boilers may undergo periodic proplachování to remove sediment from the bottom of the tank, which can improve efficiency and extend the lifespan of the appliance.

The process can also be applied in industrial settings for cleaning machinery, pipes, and tanks. In the medical field, proplachování is a technique used for wound cleaning, catheter irrigation, and other procedures requiring the removal of foreign bodies or contaminants. In general cleaning, proplachování is used to rinse away soap residue from dishes or floors, ensuring a clean finish. The specific method and fluid used for proplachování depend on the application and the nature of the substances being removed.
