Back Flow Prevention

 

Please be sure to adhere to all Federal, State and local 

regulations  

when   installing  

or  

using 

 

Hydrofuse products. Back Flow valves may be subject to 

specific regulations in your area.  

Planning out the Installation 

When planning out the installation, look at the irrigation system layout from the viewpoint of how it will be 

easiest to connect the Hydrofuse system.   

Firstly, select the best place to install the Flow Sensor / Injection Point in the irrigation Main Line should be 

installed after the sprinkler system backflow device but before the mainline tee’s off to go different directions 

and BEFORE the first irrigation valve.  

Once this is done, you can then determine the best location for the Hydrofuse machine itself. The Flow Sensor 

and Injection Point comes with 20 feet of cable / tubing so ideally mount the machine as close as possible to 

the where you will connect to the irrigation main line. The machine needs to be mounted to a wall, and there 

should be a 120-volt outlet nearby.

  

 

Note: 

Because the Hydrofuse system uses a Flow Sensor it will work with any number of irrigation zones. It 

will sense the actual water flow and precisely inject the correct amount of fertilizer to suit the quantity of 

water flowing in each zone.
