Question 1

If you put in a package of miracle grow, how many minutes of running will it take until it is used up?

Accepted Answer

EZ-Flo instructions come with an application chart to calculate the amount of fertilizer and the gallons of water needed for use. You will need to do some easy calculations for how much fertilizer per week, the number of emitters,  too much/or to little water pressure. The instructions are straight forward and easy to follow.

Example (from the instructions) a fertilizer is applied at 1 tablespoon of concentrated fertilizer per gallon of water. EZ-Flo sets the speed of application. Using the "Fast" setting will take 75 gallons of water to empty the tank. You would add 75 tablespoons of fertilizer to the tank until the product runs out.  Do not use this example formula as you need to calculate emitters, water pressure, and other factors spelled out in the instructions

Question 2

Am I able to mix multiple additives to this or only fertilizer. The 1 gallon one says you can mix multiple things but this one does not. Thanks

Accepted Answer

i have had no issues with it.  make sure the items you are mixing are compatable with each other in the concentrated form.

Question 3

How do you choose between the 3/4 gallon tank or the 2 gallon tank?  Thank you

Accepted Answer

I have 3/4 gallon tank and it will water 4 raised beds automatically with liquid fertilizer, behind an Orbit hose bib timer that I love.  my beds are 80 to 100 sq feet each. 8 to 12 mintues each, on one tank filling.   fertilizer runs out at end of cycle, but auto puts water down per daily settings with no fertilizer till next filling. )  I only put minimum water down with drip lines as am on well. and I pray for rain, to save well water.   works well for me.  more area may require bigger tank   or green hose.   use.

Question 4

It says in the description that the unit must be attached after the valve. Will the fertilizer damage the sprinkler valve?

Accepted Answer

No, the hose bib fertilizer unit will get damaged if it is under constant pressure.  If it is not in use, it should not be pressurized.  The hose bib should attach after a timer or something, so it isn't always pressurized.
