Green Solutions EZ-FLO Fertigation Traditional fertilization is a water intensive process. EZ-FLO Systems eliminate the intensive use of water by continually administering very small amounts of products through irrigation systems, a process known as fertigation. The plants receive micro doses of nutrients and supplements increasing both the effectiveness of the water and enhancing nutrient absorption. The EZ-FLO MAXX Solutions are specially formulated to achieve a sustainable landscape solution while delivering premium results with lower product application rates than traditional methods. As an integral part of a landscape management program, EZ-FLO provides the ability to be sustainable without sacrificing results or increasing costs. Water Conservation EZ-FLO Systems and EZ-FLO MAXX Solutions are a key element for implementing a sound water conservation program. Water quality is continually diminishing and new sources of irrigation water can have toxic levels of salt and bicarbonates. Poor water quality harms plants while reducing the effectiveness of the irrigation system resulting in increasing water application. The EZ-FLO MAXX Solutions treat the water through the addition of unique products that keep drip and spray systems clean and trouble free. EZ-FLO MAXX Solutions also correct soil issues resulting in healthier root systems, healthier plants, and improved water penetration. This reduces water requirements by as much as 50%. Drip Irrigation Solutions EZ-FLO Systems have been the time tested and proven method for adding products to a drip, subsurface, and low volume irrigation system. With the EZ-FLO System you can easily add fertilizers and supplements directly to the root zone of the plants efficiently and effortlessly without the fear of plugging. EZ-FLO MAXX Solutions offer a wide variety of products optimized for drip and subsurface environments to fertilize, protect, and maintain your landscape and irrigation system investment.

20 15 10 5 Design Choosing the system To determine the system for your application, complete the following information: 1. The approximate size of the irrigated area 2. The approximate landscape mix of turf to shrubs and beds 3. The size of the irrigation main line 4. Is the irrigation system protected by a backflow preventer 5. Number of points of connection Choosing the correct tank size 1. In table 1 below refer to the 4-6 week coverage columns to determine the tank model 2. The tank capacity recommended below is based on the size of the irrigated area and a 4-6 week refill cycle. More area can be covered with a more frequent refill schedule.

HI-FLO Models Warranty: Five (5) years except under heavy pressure conditions or excessive temperature conditions where summer temperatures exceed 125 F (52 C). Heavy pressure conditions are when static line pressure exceeds 125 PSI (8.6 bars). See other detailed warranty and installation limitations at www.ezflofertilizing.com/warranty.asp Includes: HI-FLO metering head, fill assembly, fill drain valve, purge valve, tank stand, and two shut-off valves (Inflow and outflow shutoff) Does Not Include: Main line connector This system connects directly to the irrigation piping. EZ-FLO s patented flow process automatically adjusts to changes in water pressure and water flow. This product is designed to feed both sprinkler and drip irrigation systems for commercial, municipal, sports field, golf course and grower applications. A code compliant back flow prevention device is required for installation into potable water systems in which the installation must follow local and state plumbing codes. Unless otherwise specified, a pressure vacuum breaker is the minimum back flow prevention device required according to University of Southern California - Foundation for Cross Connection Control and Hydraulic Research. 7
