Some years ago, I purchased a flexible hose at Lowes that fits nicely inside the inner diameter of the PVC drain line. I also installed a screen mesh over the outside end of the drain line to prevent insects and small critters from taking up residence inside the drain line.

I connected a female fitting on one end of the flexible hose. I then remove the PVC cap on the drain line and slide approximately 3 feet of hose inside the drain line. I then connect the other end of the flexible hose to the water hose. I remove the screening mesh and slowly crack open the bib valve to flush the line. I then reinstall the screening on the outside end of the drain line, remove the hose and reinstall the drain line cap. It takes about 10 minutes start to finish. Easy-peasy.
