Frequently Asked Questions
How much product to put into the tank?
Refer to the product label and tank capacity. The system feeds very slowly and it is difficult to over
2
fertilise when using the system properly. Typical rates are 1 litre of liquid per 200 m of landscape
2
per month and 1 Kg of dry powder fertilizer per 200 m of landscape per month.
Can I use weed killer/ herbicide in the system?
Typically no, hazardous products are not recommended for use in the EZ-FLO system and the application
of herbicide should be tightly controlled.
How do I know when to refill?
The system can be checked for color by viewing the clear output tubing during irrigation operation. If the
fertiliser color is gone, you need to refill the system. Alternatively, you may let the system run empty and
refill based on a set schedule.
What fertiliser can I use?
Almost any liquid or water soluble powder product. Do not use dry broadcast fertilisers, they are not
compatible and may cause damage to the EZ-FLO or Irrigation system.
How often do I need to refill?
This will vary on landscape size and watering schedule. If you follow the EZ-FLO sizing and use
recommendations, you will typically last 4 to 6 weeks. If your landscape is smaller it will last longer.
If the landscape is larger or you water heavily, the system will empty faster.
What cap setting should I use?
Slow and #1 are the most common settings and generally the safest unless you are familiar with the
fertiliser product and injection system. The closer to fast, the faster the system will run out of product.
How do I know it is working?
When the irrigation system is running and the system is full of fertiliser, watch the clear output tube for
color. You may adjust the cap from slow to fast to see the color change. You can use blue or green food
dye to add color to the fertiliser.
