Easily and accurately applies a consistent rate of soluble fertilizer to your lawn, garden or greenhouse plants. Attaches to standard hose fitting and offers built-in back flow prevention should pressure fail. Brass body ensures durability and spring filter eliminates clogging. Made in the USA. Heavy Duty, Solid Brass Siphon Mixer with Backflow Preventer Spring filter eliminates clogging Time-tested, accurate proportioning device Designed for smaller scale grower Siphon Mixer proportions at the rate of 1 gallon concentrate to 16 gallons water One Gallon of Concentrate is Dispensed in 3 to 5 minutes Requires a minimum 35 psi for proper operation Operation of The Hozon™ is easy!Your Hozon™ should be no more than fifty feet from the nozzle end to work correctly. If more than fifty feet of hose is used, the Hozon™ can be connected between two sections of hose. Preparing Your Hozon™Since the Hozon™ proportions at 1:16, under normal conditions the concentrated solution should be made at 16 times the recommended rate. Example: If a fertilizer recommendation is 2 TBSP per gallon for hand watering, you would make the solution at a rate 16 time greater than the 2 TBSP rate (i.e. 16 x 2 = 32), so 32 TBSP per gallon would be the concentrated rate. When mixed with water from the hose, the solution will come out the hose end at the recommended rate of 2 TBSP per gallon. The Hozon™ will draw one gallon of concentrate in about five minutes and this will be mixed with approximately 12 to 18 parts of water through the hose, depending on the flow rate. A larger diameter hose, i.e. 5/8″ instead of 1/2″, will provide a larger flow rate. Excessive back-pressure will cause the siphon to stop drawing. Adjustable nozzles should not be used or should be wide open for best results.
