FAQs
Can I use this with any brand of plant food?
The feeder is designed for water-soluble plant foods. Always check the packaging of your plant food to ensure it is compatible with hose-end sprayers.

Can I leave the fertilizer in the unit between uses?

Troubleshooting
Water is not drawing the plant food solution

Uneven spray pattern or weak flow

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your feeder, ensure the unit is firmly attached to your garden hose using the provided threaded connection. Before turning on the water, add the dry water-soluble plant food to the reservoir as specified by the fertilizer manufacturer's instructions. Once secured, slowly turn on the faucet to prevent a sudden surge of pressure. After each use, it is essential to disconnect the unit and flush the reservoir with clean water to remove any leftover fertilizer residue. Store the feeder in a cool, dry place to prevent plastic degradation or nozzle clogging caused by dried mineral deposits.
