The chart below is intended to be used for a reference to assist in calibrating your injection
system to other manufacturers products.
USING THE CHART
The gallons to empty at a given seing indicates the total water that will be mixed with your
concentrated product before the contents are completely used. If you need to figure ounce per
gallon or tablespoons, you would reference the“Gallons to Empty” section of the chart.
EXAMPLE
Fertilizer bag wants you to apply 1 tablespoon of product per gallon of water and you want to
apply quickly. If you use the Fast seing, it will take 75 gallons to empty the tank. You then need
to add 75 tablespoons to the tank, top o with water, and use the Fast seing until the color
runs out. The same example above, but with a Flo-Disc installed, on the Fast seing the tank
would run out in 19 gallons of water. To get 1 tablespoon per gallon, you would need to add 19
tablespoons to the tank and top o with water.
Notes: All feed rates are approximate and not guaranteed by Hoss Tools due to the high
amount of variables resulting from dierences in irrigation system configuration, product
quality, viscosity, and specific gravity. Feed rates and ratios are provided for convenience only.
Injection feeders should be used for general application of liquid and water soluble products
only and are not marketed as a direct replacement for chemical siphon feeders.
For safe fertilizing practices Hoss Tools recommends the plants be fed at half or 50% of the
manufacturers recommended amount for the first application to prevent any damage to the
plants or landscape.
