Discussed herein are systems, apparatuses, and methods for reversing a flow through a conduit loop. A system may include a flow reversing loop having an inlet, an outlet in communication with a drain, a first port on a first side of the flow reversing loop, and a second port on a second side of the flow reversing loop, the first and second sides separated by the inlet and outlet, a conduit loop including one or more flow paths, wherein the flow reversing loop includes a first flow path from the inlet to the first port so that the treatment fluid can flow through the conduit loop in a first direction to the outlet of the flow reversing loop, and a second flow path from the inlet to the second port so that the treatment fluid can flow to the drain in a second direction, opposite of the first direction.
