Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ's)

EZ-FLO Systems are a line of easy-to-use, effective, and environmentally friendly, automatic fertilizer dispensing systems (hose-bib or connected to an in-ground irrigation system) for use in residential, commercial, grower and municipal applications. 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. 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.

EZ-FLO units come in Main-Line or Hose and Drip options. Both may be right for you.

EZ-FLO Systems are suitable for all sizes of landscapes. Our systems are used by professional landscape maintenance companies as well as homeowners because they are so simple to install and operate.  We have units that will handle small gardens and residence landscapes as well as ones that can service tens of acres of commercial or municipal landscapes.  Larger landscapes for a given tank size can be covered by simply refilling more frequently.

EZ-FLO systems can be used with all sprinkler and spray heads, micro-spray heads and drip and subsurface options without the need to adjust the system for zones with different end devices (i.e. spray heads vs. drippers). EZ-FLO adjusts automatically to water flow in any zone even if there are different pressures present in that zone.  For example many drip zones have pressure reducers in order to protect the dripper heads. Other injection system designs do not have the same ability to easily address  these different flow and pressure attributes with a single unit.

  • Consistent and Accurate Metering: Avoids dangerously high levels of fertilizer, delivering consistent micro-doses for optimal plant feeding.
  • Adjustable Feed Rates: Various precision settings prevent plant burn or staining.
  • Automatic Pressure and Flow Adjustment: Functions at low pressures, ideal for long piping or drip irrigation.
  • Availability of Products: Offers a full range of fertilizers and compatible products.
  • Ease of Use: No pre-dilution needed, longer service life, and fewer refills required.

Main-line systems can be installed in under an hour, and Hose and Drip systems take just minutes. They work automatically with each water use. No mixing, measuring, or complicated setup is needed. Refilling is quick. More installation details are available in the Installation & Use section.

Under normal conditions, EZ-FLO units require no maintenance, thanks to no moving parts or electrical components. They operate using water pressure, ensuring long-lasting performance. EZ-FLO offers a five-year warranty for these units.

Consistent micro-dosing provides plants with steady nutrients, enhancing disease and drought resistance. All types of plants benefit, from trees to lawns. Learn more in the Fertigation Benefits section.

When the system is filled, the output tube will match the fertilizer color. To test, adjust the cap from Slow to Fast and observe a color change. When the color fades, the tank is empty and ready for refilling.

  • Warranty: EZ-FLO offers a five-year warranty.
  • Maintenance: EZ-FLO requires no maintenance.
  • Product Compatibility: Supports a wide range of fertilizers and supplements.
  • Irrigation Configuration: Adjusts to any zone’s pressure and flow without manual adjustment.
  • Refill Frequency: EZ-FLO’s concentrated fertilizers require fewer refills.
  • Ease of Installation: Simple installation without electrical or programming requirements.

Most water-soluble, non-hazardous, or organic fertilizers can be used. The EZ-FLO MAXX-PRODUCTS line includes fertilizers, repellents, and soil supplements. It’s recommended to avoid non-organic pesticides or fungicides.

Yes, EZ-FLO supports natural and organic products, which can be used efficiently. However, if the organic product is oil-based, the system may not pull it properly. EZ-FLO’s organic fertilizer options are also available.

Yes, EZ-FLO’s multi-vitamin approach allows different plants to absorb needed nutrients while ignoring the rest. The MAXX-PRODUCTS contain essential nutrients for diverse plants, ensuring they thrive without causing soil damage or nutrient buildup.

Ideal soil pH is between 6.5 and 7.0. High clay content restricts air and water flow. EZ-FLO’s MAXX-PRODUCTS offer solutions to address pH and soil quality issues.
