EZ-FLO Fertilizer System: Save More, Water Better

After the initial investment, the EZ-FLO Fertilizer System helps save money in several ways. First off, the machine’s precise application of fertilizer prevents over-fertilization, which can be wasteful and even harmful to your plants. Automation also makes it easy to manage fertilization with minimal effort, reducing the need for manual labor or specialized equipment. Plus, the consistent and even distribution of nutrients leads to healthier plants!

Cleaning the EZ-FLO System

The best way to maintain your EZ-FLO system is to periodically flush the tank with clean water to remove any fertilizer residue, especially after extended use. Turn off the water supply, disconnect the unit, and drain it completely using the bottom valve or by removing the cap. After you rinse the interior, inspect the O-rings, seals, and fittings for wear or leaks, replacing them as needed to maintain a tight seal. It’s also a good idea to check the intake and outlet connections for debris. Throughout the watering season, keep the tank clean and avoid mixing incompatible fertilizers.

EZ-FLO Fertilizer System FAQs

How does EZ-FLO work?

By installing one directly onto the main water supply line of your sprinkler or drip irrigation system, the EZ-FLO system will automatically inject liquid fertilizer into the irrigation water before it reaches your grass or plants.

What can I put in my EZ-FLO?

The system is designed to handle both liquid and water-soluble products. Depending on the needs of your garden or lawn, you can add liquid fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, and other soil treatment products.

How do I winterize an EZ-FLO Fertilizing System?

To winterize your EZ-FLO system, start by turning off the water and disconnecting the unit from your irrigation line. Drain all remaining water from the tank and flush the system to remove any residual fertilizer that could harden or cause buildup. Once empty, store the unit in a dry, frost-free area, and check fittings, O-rings, and hoses for wear before reinstalling in the spring.

Where should I install the EZ-FLO in my irrigation line?

An EZ-FLO should be installed on the main irrigation line after the backflow preventer and before any zone valves. This placement ensures the fertilizer solution is distributed evenly to all zones when the system is running. Make sure the unit is installed in the correct flow direction as indicated on the tank, and use the right fittings or adapters for a secure connection. Positioning the system in an accessible area also makes refilling and maintenance much easier.

How do I adjust the fertilizer concentration on an EZ-FLO system?

For most EZ-FLO systems, you can adjust the fertilizer levels using the system’s feed-rate or adjustment setting. New users should generally start with the manufacturer’s recommended setting and monitor plant response.

Can EZ-FLO be used with drip irrigation?

EZ-FLO fertilizer systems can be used with all kinds of drip systems. Proper filtration is especially important with drip irrigation because emitters have small passages that can be easily clogged. Make sure the fertilizer is compatible with your drip components, and operate the system within the recommended pressure ranges.

How often do I need to refill an EZ-FLO?

The refill frequency depends on the size of your tank, the dilution rate you set, the size of the area being fertilized, and how often you run your irrigation system. For smaller-scale gardening and lawn care, your EZ-FLO fertilizer system can last several months between refills.
