1. Introduction
The NEWTRY P2502 Fertilizer Injector is a water-powered dosing pump designed for precise and consistent chemical dilution. It operates without electricity, utilizing the volumetric proportioning principle to ensure a stable chemical mixture regardless of variations in water pressure and flow. This injector is suitable for various applications requiring accurate dilution, including irrigation, animal health, food safety, metal processing, and more.
Key Features:
- Water Powered: No electricity required for operation.
- Accurate Dosing: Volumetric proportioning ensures consistent chemical mixture.
- Adjustable Ratio: Percentage range of 0.2-2% (Ratio Range: 1:500-1:50).
- Durable Construction: Made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS).
- Wide Application: Suitable for various industries requiring dilution.

2. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of the fertilizer injector. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
2.1 Connection Requirements
- Connection Size: 3/4" NPT.
- Pressure: 2.9 to 87 PSI.
- Flow: 0.05 to 13.2 GPM.
- The check valve (one-way valve) must be installed at the front section of the water inlet to prevent contamination of the water source.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Working Principle
The injector operates by using the kinetic energy of the flowing water to drive a piston, which in turn draws the concentrated solution into the main water line and mixes it proportionally. This ensures a consistent dilution ratio.

3.2 Adjusting Dosage
The injector features a clear and accurate scale for adjusting the desired percentage of solution. Rotate the adjustment mechanism to set the required dilution ratio between 0.2% and 2% (1:500 to 1:50).

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accurate performance of your injector.
- Cleaning: Periodically flush the injector with clean water, especially after using corrosive or viscous solutions.
- Solution pH: Ensure the pH of the solution being injected is within the range of 5-9 to prevent damage to internal components.
- Component Check: Inspect springs, rubber tubes, and sealing rings regularly for wear and tear. Replace as needed using the provided accessories.

5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your NEWTRY P2502 Fertilizer Injector.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Injector not drawing solution or inconsistent dosing. | Incorrect installation of check valve; air in the system; clogged intake; worn seals. | Verify check valve direction. Bleed air from the system. Clean the intake filter. Inspect and replace sealing rings. |
| Reduced water flow rate through the system. | This is a normal characteristic of water-powered injectors. | No action required. The injector's operation inherently reduces water flow. Ensure your system can accommodate this. |
| Injector making squeaking noises. | Lack of lubrication or minor component friction. | Ensure the unit is properly lubricated according to maintenance guidelines (if applicable). Minor squeaking may be normal. |
| Unit received appears wet. | Factory testing with clean water. | This is normal and indicates the unit was tested for quality assurance. It is a new product. |
| Injector not mixing gas. | The injector is designed for liquid solutions only. | Do not attempt to inject gases. Use only with liquid concentrates. |
