Introduding the EZ-FLO automatic fertilizer system.

Would you like more time to enjoy your beautiful lawn?

Imagine no more lugging home smelly bags of fertilizer in your car or paying expensive lawn services. Hydro-Tech Irrigation Co. is proud to announce the addition of the EZ-FLO automatic fertilizer system to our line of products and services. Due to a rising demand from our customers Hydro-Tech will now be installing, servicing and refilling the EZ-FLO fertilizer injector system.

EZ-FLO is a world leader in injection equipment for the horticultural industry. EZ-FLO has a 20 year history of unsurpassed quality, reliability and ease of use which has set EZ-FLO apart from many competing technologies. EZ-FLO systems are available for virtually every type of application. From the smallest home garden, to entire residential or commercial landscapes, to city parks, sports fields or acres of crops, EZ-FLO offers the equipment to do the job.
All EZ-FLO equipment is designed to deliver virtually any type of liquid or water soluble product. Systems can be connected to a hose bib, a drip system or an irrigation system. EZ-FLO's patented technology can use fully concentrated liquid (no premixing required) or water soluble products and deliver them quickly or in small micro-doses every time you water, creating superior nutrient uptake and more beautiful results.
This technique of applying products through the water is called "fertigation". Fertigation is a sustainable horticultural practice which has many environmental benefits, such as saving water and eliminating the pollution common with other methods of horticultural care .

Why does my system run in the rain?

Every rainy day we receive calls from many of our customers asking why their system is still running even though they have a rain sensor on their system. It is one the most frequently asked questions we encounter. Let me take a quick moment of your time to explain what is happening.
Rain sensors are designed to measure the amount of rainfall in your yard and shut down the operation of your sprinklers once that rainfall reaches a preset amount. It is important to remember that it will not shut the sprinklers off just because it has began to rain. There must be enough rainfall to equal or exceed the amount the sensor has been set for which can be as little as 1/8th" to as much as 1". Do not be concerned if your system waters while it raining because your sensor will prevent it from watering again until all the water from rain and sprinklers has been used by your lawn.
A red light on the face of your controller will indicate that the rain sensor is active. If you wish to water your lawn anyway, there is a switch for the rain sensor marked "active" or "bypass". Set the switch to "bypass" and your system will water regardless of rainfall.

It's not too early to think winterization.

The fall season is upon us and winter is right around the corner. Call now to schedule your winterization. Our office staff are available Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm to take your call. Dont get caught by an early freeze and risk damage to your system.
