Installation and Use

EZ to Install and EZ to Use

EZ-FLO systems are simple to install and easy to refill. There is little ongoing maintenance required since the EZ-FLO systems have no moving parts. About the only thing you will need to do is to refill the tank with a non-hazardous water soluble or liquid fertilizer on a periodic basis. It’s that EZ! 

Generally we recommend a qualified contractor to install main-line units (to make sure that all backflow requirements are met) while the hose and drip units can be installed by homeowners.

All fertigation units require back flow protection. FOLLOW LOCAL CODES!

(Winterization will require Bypass Fitting (included) and tank removal prior to “Blowing Out” the irrigation system).  See Winterizing Your EZ-FLO System for further details.

EZ-FLO sells a number of premium fertiliser blends for use with your system. EZ-FLO also dispenses other types of products like soil conditioners, bio stimulants and water management products as well as insect and animal repellants.

Determining the Connection Point

EZ-FLO main-line systems are designed to feed the entire landscape but are not limited to that purpose.

A system can be installed before multiple zone valves or after a single zone valve. Installation only takes minutes for someone familiar with irrigation systems.

Because of EZ-FLO’s patented flow design – the system automatically adjusts to pressure and water flow, enabling a single EZ-FLO fertigation system to feed drip as well as spray zones without having to change out any nozzles or make any modification to the tank or the irrigation system.

A simple schematic of a “before the valve” main line installation is shown to the right.

Note that the connection point (EZ Coupling Connection) is before all valves so that when any zone turns on, it will proportion fertilizer with water prior to going to any zone after the connection.

Note only main-line systems should be connected before the valve since anything before the valve is under constant (Static) water pressure.

In some larger landscapes, there may be a desire to isolate one or two zones away from the rest of the system as shown in the example to the right.

This could be the case where an irrigation system feeds an entire park but the municipality only wants to fertilize the cricket, soccer or football fields.

In other cases, a flower bed is isolated from the rest of the turf so only the flower bed is fed.

Here is an example of how this is done in an “after the valve” installation. Also note that a Hose and Drip unit may also be attached after the valve.

Hose and Drip Systems are not meant to be connected to a system where the unit is under constant (Static) pressure. All pressure must be relieved from a Hose and Drip System when it is not in use!
