If using the Universal Feeder with a drip irrigation system, we recommend using enough emitters to produce a minimum of 12 gallons per hour outflow. The flow rate (fertilizer to water) is 325:1. This will provide the university recommended rate of 1lb of Nitrogen per 1000 sq ft.Adding additional feeders in the same line will increase the recommended mix ratio and may cause harm to some plants. We recommend using a splitter to separate each feeder to cover their own feeding area. Water pressure is typically determined by the city or an external pump. It is a measure of how much force is acting on a specific area. Think of it as the water flowing into your home and out of your spigot. Attach LiquaFeed Universal Feeder to spigot, and attach a hose to base of Feeder. Feeder can also be placed on the ground and used in line between two hoses. Attach the feeder to your spigot, and then attach your garden hose. Insert the LiquaFeed® refill bottle into the feeder, making sure that the bottle is vertical. The feeder can also rotate if you need to adjust it to fit your spigot or to place on the ground in-line between two hoses. Turn on the water. Turn the dial to FEED, and begin feeding your plants while you water them. It's like a power drink for your garden. It's that easy!

The amount of time for each plant food bottle to empty varies depending on the watering device you use. It takes the guesswork out of feeding by automatically mixing the right amount of nutrients, so your plants aren't under or over fed, and never burned. Flow rate is determined both by how much the spigot is opened and the watering device setting. It is a measure of how much fluid is moving through a specific area over a period of time. Soaker hoses, for example, are a low flow watering device. If the bottle slumps a bit due to the angle of your spigot, just ensure that it is mostly vertical. Otherwise, you can place the Universal Feeder on the ground attached to a leader hose. The Feeder may initially have air trapped in the system, which can impact the initial start-up of the internal feeding mechanism. This typically occurs if you are using a watering device with low flow output, such as a soaker hose, drip irrigation, or a mister. Leakage from the slot underneath threaded green nut where the garden hose attaches to the Feeder: If the leakage is a short burst occurring right after pressure is relieved from the garden hose, then yes. If leakage is constant during use, then no, call 1-800-645-8166 to return it for a replacement Universal Feeder.Pour Miracle GRo LiquaFeed All Purpose Plant Food from dosing spoon into watering can and fil with water.
