This device utilizes a Venturi effect to create suction, allowing fluids to be drawn up through a tube and mixed into the water flow from a standard garden hose. This simple mechanism allows for applications such as dispensing fertilizer, herbicides, or cleaning solutions directly through the hose. The device typically connects inline with the hose, featuring an inlet for the liquid to be siphoned.
The ability to precisely and efficiently apply liquid treatments to lawns, gardens, and other outdoor areas is a significant advantage. This method reduces the need for separate sprayers or applicators, saving time and effort. The design facilitates even distribution of solutions, contributing to improved results. Historically, such devices have provided a convenient alternative to manual mixing and application methods, promoting efficiency in various maintenance tasks.
