Flow Requirements:

                                  Low Flow Hose & Drip Systems

Drip systems with less than 120 gallons per hour (GPH) water flow may 
require an EZ-FLO 

Flo-Disc

 in order to inject solution into the drip 

system.

  There are three discs provided for these conditions.  

Important:

 You must have colored fertilizer in the EZ-FLO tank or food dye to 

adjust the system. Let the system run for a few minuets to make sure the 
fertilizer is not flowing before installing or changing the Flo-Disc. If there is not 
color in the clear tube, the system is not flowing and a more restrictive Flo-Disc 
is required for operation.

White Flo-Disc     120  to  60 gph
Black Flo-Disc       60   to  30 gph    
Red Flo-Disc         30   to  7.5 gph

When using a Flo-Disc, pre-dilute 
products 4 parts water with 1 part 
product (25% Strength).  

Step 1. 

 Estimate your water flow by 

multiplying the number of drip emitters 
on your system by their gallons per 
hour flow rating. 

 

(If you do not know your 

water flow you can use trial & error starting 
without a Flo-Disc. If no color is present in the 
clear line insert a Flo-disc starting with the 
white)

 

Step 2.

  Remove the washer from the 

swivel nut on the hose bib adaptor.  For 
easy removal, use pliers to grab the O-
Ring tab or a plain end screw driver.

Step 3.

  Push the proper 

Flo-Disc

 into 

the hose bib adaptor until it presses 
firmly against the flow restrictor in the 
center of the hose bib adaptor.  The 
water flow will hold the disc in place.

Step 4.

  Replace the hose bib adaptor 

hose washer and follow steps 2 through 
4 in the “

Installing your EZ-FLO

” 

in 

these instructions.

 

 

Note: 

The Flo-Disc is not intended for pressure reduction and cannot be used for this 

purpose. The Flo-Disc will create additional bypass through the tank when necessary to 
speed up injection
