FERTIKIT 3G 

INSTALLATION MANUAL

DESCRIPTION

Operating principle

The FertiKit

TM

 doses the various fertilizers and acid into a homogeneous solution and injects it into the 

irrigation water main line. The suction of the fertilizers and acid in the dosing channels is based on the 

Venturi principle. This requires a pressure differentiation - available on the main line or supplied by the main 

line pump or the FertiKit's dosing booster.

Modularity

The modular FertiKit

TM

 3G concept is based upon an array of interchangeable components that enables 

rapid assembly of a wide range of configurations.

Each FertiKit

TM

 is delivered according to the precise customer’s order, either fully factory assembled or 

assembled by the local dealer.

The dealer stocks the assortment of the FertiKit

TM

 interchangeable components.

This concept enables the dealer to assemble any specific FertiKit

TM

 according to the customer’s 

order, saving the need to stock a large quantity of fully assembled FertiKit

TM

 units of various common 

configurations.

The modular FertiKit

TM

 3G concept ensures prompt delivery schedules without delays!

Stock selection option

Enables the dosing of multiple fertilizers through a single dosing channel (in cases where simultaneous 
dosing is not required). Suits all modes of FertiKit

TM

.

 

Available in a wide variety of configurations, from a 

single dosing channel with 2 fertilizers to as many dosing channels and fertilizers as required. For further 
information, contact Netafim™.

Compatibility

The FertiKit

TM

 3G can be incorporated in an existing or a planned project; in either case it offers a highly 

cost-effective solution for Nutrigation

TM

 by taking maximum advantage of the infrastructure conditions.

Any available pressure surplus can be used for the FertiKit’s operation. In order to configure the most

cost-effective FertiKit

TM

, making the maximum use of available pressure.

ATTENTION

Calculations are either in metric or in US units - consistency in the type of units used is essential.

Service

Servicing the FertiKit

TM

 3G is a prompt and simple process. The dealer keeps a small quantity of 

interchangeable components on hand, for replacement on site within a few minutes.

Maintenance

To prevent failures and extend the life cycle of the FertiKit

TM

, regular maintenance must be carried out 

by the user, such as periodic rinsing of filters and calibration of the EC/pH sensors. For full maintenance 
instructions, see 

Maintenance

 in the

 User Manual 

(The User Manual is provided with the FertiKit™

and can be downloaded at

 https://www.netafim.com/en/digital-farming/netbeat/Fertigation/fertikit/

).

The 8 modes

Each one of the FertiKit™ 3G 8 modes depicted on the folowing pages fits a specific infrastructure 
configuration.
