FERTIGATOR M1-RE
24 VOLT OPERATION
INDIVIDUAL ZONE CONTROLLER
0 TO 40 OUNCES PER HR.
4" x 4" x 6.5" |
This a Fertigator M1 that has been
re-engineered to our specifications to improve performance and
reliability. It is a water driven injection
pump. As water (from your system) enters a barrel it drives a piston to pump
fertilizer into your sprinkler system. The included 8 zone
controller attaches to each zone on your irrigation clock to
signal to the fertigator controller which zone is running.
There is a slide switch adjustment for each zone that allows
you to select a pump speed unique for each zone. The pump
speed can be adjusted in 5 increments between 4 and 40 ounces
per hour or off.. This patented device allows you to put a
different concentration of fertilizer on each zone. This
is helpful in particular if your fertilizing needs are heavier
zone to zone. The controller is powered by a 24 volt power
supply that is included. The injector draws fertilizer
from any reservoir, including the jug the liquid fertilizer is
shipped in. It connects to the main line to draw water to
move the piston up which forces fertilizer in the center chamber
to move out to your main. When the internal spring resets
the piston, fertilizer is drawn into the center chamber.
The connection to the main is with a coupling below, selected depending on the size of your main
line. The injector can be mounted directly on the main
line at any point after the back flow. If you choose to
mount on the main line below ground in a valve box, be sure to
arrange drainage so that the box does not flood. An easier
alternative is to mount the unit in an outdoor enclosure and
place the enclosure in a convenient location, connected to the
main line coupling with flexible tubing. You can purchase
the enclosure separately, or have it shipped to you completely
assembled for an additional charge. An
alternate (PVC installation) to the coupling is to use the glue
and snap on fitting which eliminates the need to cut your main.(2
required) An alternate (Poly
installation) to the coupling is to use the Kwik-Tap fitting
below where no tools, glue or cutting is required. (2 required)
See
installation overview for more explanation. We
do not sell replacement parts for Fertigator. They are
available by contacting Fertigator directly at 866-344-2867.
If you currently have a Fertigator M1 and the
controller and barrel are functioning properly, but are having
trouble priming and keeping it primed you can purchase only our
RE-add-on. The RE unit is a manifold that mounts on the
top of the barrel and has the connection for the fertilizer
suction line and the connection for the fertilizer out put line. |
