Healthy plants are not achieved with water alone, they also need nutrients. As the name implies, fertigation is the process by which fertiliser is applied with irrigation water.

Fertiliser + irrigation = fertigation.

Historically, the technique of fertigation was used in commercial agriculture and horticulture. By applying fertiliser through irrigation water, you have superior control over the timing, quantity and concentration of fertiliser applied.

Benefits:

• Better nutrient control
• More efficient application
• Less waste and runoff
• Improved plant performance

EZ-FLO requires either a hose tap adapter for residential systems or for permanent irrigation a main inline adapter (CBV). These provide a slight pressure drop allowing a small stream of water from the hose or irrigation pipe to enter the EZ-FLO, displace the fertiliser concentrate, then re-introduce it back into the main water stream where it is diluted.

As water enters the tank separation is achieved – heavier concentrate on the bottom and lighter water on the top. EZ-FLO only pulls concentrate from the bottom of the tank; it does not dilute the concentrate. The result is consistent levels of fertiliser throughout the whole cycle until the fertiliser is depleted and is replaced with water.

EZ-FLO has no moving parts, requires zero maintenance and zero power. The ease of use sets EZ-FLO apart from competing fertigation technologies – it’s so EZ(y)

You can use EZ-FLO for microdosing – where small amounts of fertiliser are applied every time you water – by selecting the ‘slow’ setting. At 1:1.000 one litre of concentrate is displaced for every thousand litres of water if using the hose and drip system and 1:15.000 if using the main-line systems. Microdosing is beneficial as plants can absorb nutrients immediately. This creates a robust root system, generating healthier plants with less water, and it also reduces fertiliser run-off.
 

Environmental benefits

Traditional fertilising methods, such as broadcasting granular fertiliser by hand or machine, or spraying liquids, come with several drawbacks:

• Uneven nutrient distribution
• Inefficient use of fertiliser
• Increased wastage and run-off
• Time-consuming application
• Higher overall costs

Fertigation offers a smarter alternative:

• Delivers nutrients more evenly
• Improves fertiliser efficiency
• Reduces overall fertiliser use
• Minimises environmental impact
• Saves time and labour

Fertilise each time you water

Fertigation can be easily achieved with EZ-FLO microdosing technology, which applies a small dose of fertiliser every time you irrigate. With nine US patents and two international patents, EZ-FLO proportions fertiliser into the irrigation water stream at very low parts-per-million (PPM) ratios. This technology is designed to:

• Deliver a consistent, low-dose feed with every irrigation
• Accurately proportion fertiliser into the water stream
• Work with highly concentrated, water-soluble, or liquid fertilisers
• Adjust application rates as needed

EZ-FLO makes fertigation, one of the most effective and cost-efficient ways to deliver nutrients to plants, accessible for both commercial and residential use.

Microdosing with EZ-FLO

Microdosing fertiliser is a more effective and consistent way to feed plants, applying nutrients wherever the water goes—and every time you irrigate.

• Consistent application with every irrigation
• Even coverage across your irrigation zone
• Nutrients delivered directly to the root zone, not wasted in gutters or runoff
• Reduced fertiliser loss through evaporation, especially nitrogen
• Uses small amounts of dissolved fertiliser for greater efficiency
• Research indicates fertiliser use can be reduced by up to 60%

Spoon feeding

Because you are spoon-feeding your plants with microdosing, nutrients are immediately available when they need them. Around 90–95% of microdosed fertiliser is absorbed by plant roots and leaves.

• Immediate nutrient availability with every application
• High absorption rates (up to 90–95%)
• Eliminates the “feast and famine” cycle of traditional fertilising
• Supports consistent, healthy plant growth
• Helps plants become more resilient to pests and disease

Microdosing also promotes stronger root development, which improves water efficiency and drought tolerance:

• Healthier, more developed root systems
• Better water absorption and retention
• Increased drought resistance
• Research suggests water use can be reduced by up to 50%

Reduce your water

When introducing microdosing, it’s recommended to gradually reduce your water usage as efficiency improves:

• Reduce water by 10% for the first fertiliser cycle
• Reduce by another 10% for the second cycle
• Reduce by 5% for the third cycle
• Continue reducing by 5% each cycle until you find the right balance based on your soil type and products used

Microdosing also saves time and money by simplifying application and reducing labour:

• Eliminates the need for prolonged manual fertiliser application
• Reduces reliance on heavy machinery
• Minimises soil compaction
• Improves overall efficiency in both water and nutrient use

Fewer product limitations

EZ-FLO is filled with concentrated liquid or water-soluble products, so there’s no need for pre-mixing.

• No pre-mixing required
• Works with concentrated liquid or water-soluble fertilisers
• Simplifies setup and application

As a result, EZ-FLO delivers:

• Up to a 10× reduction in tank capacity compared to other systems
• More efficient storage and handling of fertilisers

EZ-FLO is unlike other differential pressure systems because it uses dynamic suspension and proprietary fluid flow technology. This patented technology ensures the incoming water displaces the fertiliser but does not dilute it in the tank. The concentration of fertiliser output is constant over the whole cycle.

EZ-FLO offers accurate proportioning of fertiliser and automatically adjusts to different pressure and flow for multi-zone irrigation. It is a true ‘Set and Forget’ product. Applicable operating ranges are 30-800 kPa pressure and irrigation flows from 0.3 Litres per minute to 23m3 per minute. Microdosing from 1:75 to 1: 1.5 million is possible.
There are no moving parts in the EZ-FLO and it does not require electricity to run making it maintenance free. We have no need of complicated computers to make it work.

EZ-FLO can operate from a tap for smaller units through to irrigation mainline or lateral.
