> Main-Line Units
Main-Line Units are designed to be attached to your irrigation system.
They are engineered to handle static water pressure even when your irrigation system is off.
When operating, the systems do not cause any measurable pressure loss.
Main-line systems come in seven sizes. The size of the tank determines the refill frequency. Larger tanks can feed larger landscapes thereby extending refill times.
Conversely, if you refill more often, larger landscapes can be fed with a single
system. EZ-FLO also supports
nursery and grower applications with high capacity systems.
Tank Sizes:
Standard Capacity
1.5 gallon (5.7 liters)
2.5 gallon (9.5 liters)
4.25 gallon (19 liters)
9.4 gallon (38 liters)
High Capacity
10.0 gallon (38 liters)
17.5 gallon (66
liters)
25.0 gallon (95 liters)
EZ-FLO Main Line Systems Feed the Entire Irrigated Area Automatically
EZ-FLO Main Line Systems attach directly to your in-ground sprinkler and drip irrigation system. Every time you use your irrigation system, EZ-FLO releases small, precision doses of water soluble or liquid fertilizers into the water stream
automatically. One system will feed through
both sprinkler and drip irrigation zones without the need to make any adjustments
or nozzle changes to compensate for water flow or water pressure.
Main Line Systems have been designed to connect directly to your irrigation system after an approved backflow prevention device. They are designed to withstand constant static water pressure present in your irrigation system. These units are constructed of heavy-walled, UV-Resistant PVC and have no moving parts making them very reliable, dependable and maintenance-free.
Main-line Models - Standard Capacity
EZ-FLO manufactures units in varying tank sizes. The size of the unit
represents the
approximate capacity of the holding tank for the concentrated fertilizer and
come in the following tank sizes:

HI-FLO systems are available in capacities up to 600 gallons of liquid products or 6,000 pounds of dry water soluble products.
All models are equipped with shutoff valves for ease of refill
and a pressure relief valve that releases and resets
when water pressure in the tank exceeds 150 pounds per square inch (10 bars).
All main-line versions now carry a five (5) year manufacturer's warranty. See our
Warranty Section for further details.
EZ-FLO may be able to manufacture custom tanks with other capacities. Please contact us for a Custom Quotation.
Choosing the Correct Model for Landscape and Turf Applications
The system size you need is based on the amount of area being fertilized and the general makeup of the landscape. Sizing in based on a four to six week refill cycle. You can use a smaller tank and refill it more often or a larger tank and fill it less often. Please go to the Quick Reference Chart to determine which system is the right one for your installation.
Everything required to install the system is included except for the EZ-FLO Coupling Connection that is installed in your irrigation main line. To choose the correct connector, you will need to know the size of your irrigation main line. When you have determined the connection size you need, click here to see the connection options.

EZ-FLO Systems can be installed in minutes. We recommend that they be installed in an underground valve box but they can also be hidden under decorative rocks or
housed in above ground structures when necessary. The only requirement is that they be installed after an approved backflow prevention device as determined by local plumbing code. See
Backflow Information
for more details on what these devices do.
EZ-FLO main line systems are installed after the backflow prevention device and normally before the irrigation zone valves to allow the unit to feed all irrigation zones. A typical installation is shown here:
In this configuration, when an irrigation zone valve is turned on, the
EZ-FLO fertigation unit automatically adjusts to pressure and flow and precisely
meters out the appropriate fertilizer based on the water volume flowing into
that zone.
EZ-FLO main line units can also be installed after the zone valve or directly in-front of a single zone valve or multiple zone valves if you want to isolate a zone(s) from the other zone(s). An example is shown to the right and could be for a larger irrigation system that services lots of open turf but the owner wants to focus on their flower beds or in the case of a municipal park, just the baseball field.
Fertilizer Distribution Rates
EZ-FLO's patented flow technologies ensure that the approximate proportion of fertilizer to water remains constant from the beginning of the cycle until the tank is depleted of fertilizer. There is generally slight dilution when the tank is almost empty and at the end of its fertilization cycle. For a detailed look at how EZ-FLO's technology works see our Technical Specifications. All EZ-FLO fertigation units have an adjustable cap with four basic settings relating to the amount of fertilizer mixed with the water. The proportioning rate is determined by the connection type with the hose bib connection feeding at a faster rate than when a coupling connection is used. Feed rates are approximate and will vary by product due to product density and solubility.
