    SIPHONING SYSTEM OR INJECTION SYSTEM

    Your choice of a feeder system is generally based on the type and size of irrigation pump you are using. See our recommendations below based on your irrigation pump type. If you chose an injection system, you must further decide which metering pump to use.

    1. Centrifugal, above ground, up to 2 HP
      Our Recomendation: Siphoning system
      Pros:
      • Simple - no moving parts, easily serviced
      • Inexpensive
      • Easily installed, no electronics involved
      Cons:
      • Feed rate set at 1 GPH
      • Must refill every 30 hours
      Notes: Injection system is an alternative

    2. Centrifugal, above ground, over 2 HP
      Our Recomendation: Injection system
      Pros:
      • More accurate than siphoning system
      • Can last up to 240 hours before refilling
      Cons:
      • Electronics involved in installation
      • Moving parts, more complex servicing involved
      • More expensive than siphoning system
      Notes: Siphoning system is an alternative if you don't mind refilling frequently

    3. Submersible, below ground, any HP
      Our Recomendation: Injection system must be used in all cases where a submersible pump is involved.
