Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this with my drip irrigation system?
No. The HydroFeed is not compatible with drip irrigation systems — it is designed for garden hoses and sprinklers only.

For drip system fertigation, browse our drip-compatible fertilizer injectors, including EZ-FLO, Mazzei, and MixRite models.

What pressure does it require?
Works best at 40 PSI with a maximum incoming pressure of 60 PSI.

If your home water pressure exceeds 60 PSI, install a pressure regulator upstream to protect the unit.

Do I need a backflow preventer?
Yes — a backflow prevention device is strongly recommended whenever fertilizers are injected into a residential water supply.

Browse our backflow prevention devices to find a compatible option.
