EZ-FLO Hose and Drip Systems are Easy to Install and
Easy to Use
EZ-FLO Hose and Drip systems can be installed in
minutes by the average homeowner and are great for use when you don't
have a dedicated irrigation system or want to separately address certain
types of plants that require specialty garden fertilizers and
supplements.
The standard hose installation includes the hose bib
adapter. If the hose bib is not separately protected from backflow then
a standard anti-siphon valve will also need to be purchased (Part
#3050). In order to convert a Hose and Drip feeder to single sprinkler
valve connection, a separate conversion kit is available for purchase
(Part #THD-CNV). Finally heavy duty shutoff valves can be separately
purchased to isolate the unit from the water stream for when you wash
the car or when you need clear water from the hose end. (Part #SOV).
These shut-off valves have quick connects that eliminate the need to
screw the tubing onto the cap when refilling.
It is important to note that the tanks of these units
are made of polyethylene plastic that is not designed to withstand
constant water pressure. They need to be depressurized after each
use in order to ensure a long service life. They can handle up to 80 PSI
(5.5 bars) in their operating mode which is the normal maximum pressure
limit for most plumbing systems. All standing water pressure should be
relieved after each use.
Examples of End Devices that Can be Used with a Hose and
Drip System
There are many end devices that can distribute
fertilizer and supplements to your landscape including your favorite
hand-held spray nozzles and lawns sprinklers and as well as single zone
spray, micro spray and drip emitters.
