The 3 gallon fertilizer applicator (fertigator) is an easy-to-use, effective, and environmentally friendly automatic fertilizer dispensing system with hose thread connection for use in residential, commercial, grower and municipal applications with up to 22,000 square feet or half an acre. Four precision settings can be selected using our easy-to-use feed adjustment knob on the top of each unit's cap for maximum proportioning flexibility.
The EZ-FLO All-in-One Garden Hose and Drip System Connections are commercial grade automatic fertilization and chemical application systems (fertigation). These are the best high capacity hose-end feeders available to consumers and professional alike for distributing water-soluble fertilizers and chemicals evenly, at adjustable proportioning rates. The hose thread and drip connection units can attach to any hose bib (the end near the faucet) so the tank doesn't have to be carried with the hose when feeding. The units work with all water soluble and liquid fertilizers, which can be combined in the unit with other chemicals and nutrients to provide "All-In-One" plant and landscape care. This line of applicators is ideal for residential gardens, landscape applications, nurseries or small farms. The units use a patented flow process built on the principles of precision, port water entry, agitation and flow control to deliver non-hazardous fertilizers and supplements to your landscape.
Model No. Description Shipping Weight Diameter/height Coverage (2 months) Fertilizer Capacity
A051 3/4 Gallon Hose & Drip Connection 2 Lbs 6" x 9" 5,000 sq ft 5 lbs dry
A053 3 Gallon Hose & Drip Connection 5 Lbs 7" x 19" 20,000 sq ft 20 lbs dry
Note: In order for the applicator tank to operate properly if used with PVC pipe or with a sprinkler system, the system will need to have at least 120 GPH drawn from it. If the system uses less, then use 3/4" PVC connector model A085 or 1" model A086 with the ball valve at the center.
The most common installation of this applicator is to the faucet or hose bib, and in this type of installation the hose bib adapter is included. If the unit is installed into a faucet a backflow device is recommended; if installed with standard anti-siphon valve the backflow devise is not needed. If you use this unit for a sprinkler system we suggest ordering the PVC connector model A082 for 3/4" A083 for 1” or A084 for 2”.
Set the flow adjustment on the cap
It is important to note that the applicator tanks are made of polyethylene plastic and the tank is not designed to withstand constant water pressure. The applicator should be depressurized after each use in order to ensure a long service life. The applicator can handle up to 80 PSI in operating mode, which is the maximum pressure suggested for this unit.
Fertilizer Distribution Rates
EZ-FLO's applicator ensures that the proportion of fertilizer to water remains constant from the beginning of the cycle until the tank is depleted of fertilizer.
The units have an adjustable cap with four basic settings relating to the amount of fertilizer mixed with the water. The proportionin
g rate
is determined by the connection type with the hose bib connection feeding at a faster rate than when a coupling connection is used.
