WHAT PRODUCTS CAN I USE WITH THE SYSTEM?

Any liquid or water soluble powder may be used in the system. Water soluble powders do not need to 
be dissolved to work in the system. The

 EZ-FLO

 process dissolves, mixes, and measures for you. If 

your product is clear you must add food coloring or dye so the product will be visible in the clear output 
tube. 

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THE FERTILIZER IS GONE?

When the system is operating (water flowing) the clear tube will fill with the color of your fertilizer. When 
the systems is operating and the tube is running clear, the system is out of fertilizer. 

MY FERTILIZER IS GONE BUT THE TANK IS FULL OF WATER

The 

EZ-FLO

 system will always be full of fluid since it replaces the product with fresh water utilizing a 

patented process to layer the incoming water over the heavier fertilizer solution. This process is similar 
to oil on water or whipped cream on gelatin.

HOW DO I KNOW THE SYSTEM IS WORKING?

When  water is flowing through your garden hose or drip system, the color from the fertilizer will 
completely fill the clear tube. The color depends on the fertilizer or dye color. The color in the tube may 
be lighter or darker depending on how much fertilizer was put into the tank and/or the injection setting 
selected on the cap. If you have a full tank of fertilizer and do not see color in the clear tube, refer to the 

Installation

 and 

Flow Requirements

 sections of this guide.

MY SYSTEM IS RUNNING BUT THE LINE IS STILL CLEAR

First check that your system has water flowing and is not just under pressure. The tube will only 

show color when the water is flowing.

Make sure the tank was filled with the proper amount of fertilizer and dye was added if the fertilizer 

did not contain a dye. Also, confirm all air was removed from the tank by topping off with water. 

Check that the included hose bib injection fitting is installed according to the 

Installation

 section. 

You may need to rearrange your filter, pressure regulator, and/or timer so our injector fitting is last.       

Check the 

Flow Requirements 

section to determine if you need a 

Flo Disc

 or that the correct 

Flo 

Disc

 was selected.

 

If installed in a sprinkler line adjust the ball valve connector (CBV) according to the instructions 

provided with the connector. If the system was installed in a sprinkler line and a coupling ball valve 
(CBV) connection was not used, one must be installed for proper function. 

MY SYSTEM IS FEEDING TOO FAST

Check that you have selected the appropriate feed setting. Also, if you used a Flo Disc during 
installation, make sure the proper disc was selected. Any Flo-Disc will speed up the injection rate of the 
system.

If using a coupling ball valve connection (CBV) for irrigation pipe, make sure the valve is properly 
calibrated. Opening the valve will slow the feed rate for your system.
