AUTOMATIC FERTILIZING
& PEST CONTROL SYSTEM
Preparing for Installation
Before installing the ProFeeder, read all of the instructions carefully. It's a
good idea to do a "dry run" installation (without cutting, applying glue, or
assembling the tank), to be sure you understand the instructions before
permanently attaching components. Each 1 gallon refill feeds up to 5 ,000 sq.
ft. of turf per month. The device installs into a 1" line or adapts to a 3/4" line
with the appropriate adapters (not included).
Where to Install Your ProFeeder
The ProFeeder can be installed on either a pressurized or non pressurized line.
To feed your entire landscape, install the device on the pressurized side of
the line (mainline) after your backflow prevention device and before all valve
boxes (or "T's" in the line). All areas of the landscape down-stream from the Pro
Feeder will be fertilized and/or free from pests. To feed a specific area in your
landscape, install the device on a non pressurized section after the valve. A
code-compliant back flow prevention device is required on all installations.
Installing the Injector
Install the ProFeeder in a 12" standard or jumbo valve box to
protect the device from the elements. Install in an area that
is not likely to be flooded with water. Make sure to install
the device so that there is enough room for the injector and
1 gallon bottle of fertilizer.
1. Shut off the water supply
Tip: You may also want to manually open one valve to
allow water to drain out of the line.
2. Dig the hole
Dig your hole between your back flow device and the
first valve box in your system. Make sure the hole is big
enough to accommodate a standard valve box.
3. Cut out a Section of Pipe
Cut out the minimum amount of pipe required to
accommodate the adapters you have chosen to install
into sprinkler system.
4. Insert the Flow Director
The Flow Director (Part B) nozzle controls the
fertilizer injection rate. Install nozzle into the side of
the injector base labeled "From Main" (Figure 1) see
included nozzle chart 4 the appropriate nozzle for
your application.
5. Apply Teflon Tape to Threads
Apply Teflon Tape to the threads on the injector base
to minimize the potential of leaking. Apply no pipe
dope. See (Figure 2)

Additional Items Needed:
The following items are not included but may be required.
☑ A Shovel
☑ Phillips Screwdriver
☑ PVC Cutter or Hack Saw
☑ PVC Primer and Glue
☑ Adaptors. For 1" PVC, we recommend that you purchase
1 THREADED PVC UNION (1" NPT) and 1 SLIP PVC UNION adapter (1" NPT)
from the same manufacturer so that you can interchange the parts to
create 2 complete union assemblies with one threaded side, and one slip
side on each.
☑ Teflon® Pipe Tape
☑ Standard Valve Box (required to protect the device)
6. Install the ProFeeder Injector (A)
Using the adapters you purchased separately for your sprinkling system,
install the Pro Feeder with the arrow pointing in the direction of
the water flow. Allow any glued connections to dry before pressurizing.
Make sure that a Flow Director (step 4) is present before proceeding or
your device may not function properly. To facilitate future access to the
Figure 1: Insert a flow director
Injector and fittings, LEAVE THE BASE OF THE INJECTOR EXPOSED.
7. Install Valve Box
Install valve box so that underside of lid clears the top of the ProFeeder
by at least 1" to prevent interference with operation of ProFeeder.

8. Attach the Siphon Hose (C) to the Siphon Cap (A)
FIRST TIME INSTALLATION ONLY: Press the gray swivel elbow (opposite
the blue quick connect) over the nipple on the Siphon Cap so that it is
snug and air-tight.
9. Attach the BLUE Quick Connect on the other end of the Retrieval
Figure 3: Typical Installation Hose to the Bottle.
Lift the tab on the fertilizer bottle cap and press the blue adapter into
the hole.
10. Self Priming
Ensure the unit is in the "ON" position. When water begins flowing
through the unit, product will begin drawing through the tube. Allow
2-10 min for this to take place depending on flow rate.
Note: Profeeder can be installed vertically or hoizontally.
*Profeeder is designed to be used with chemicals produced by Pro Products,
LLC. Any other chemicals used in the Profeeder will void the warranty.
