APPARATUS FOR SELECTIVELY DISPENSING FERTILIZER, PESTICIDE AND THE LIKE THROUGH A FLUID FLOW LINE

An apparatus has a fluid flow portion that is introduced as part of a fluid flow continuum. The fluid flow portion is situated above a plurality of liquid-holding chambers. Each chamber forms a fluid flow continum from the chamber through a tube-like structure that intersects the fluid flow portion. A control means is provided to set the fluid flow from the chamber at a determined level. An alternative embodiment provides an apparatus that is fully portable.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to fluid distribution systems and to devices that are used in such systems for controlling the flow of fluid, such as water, and for adding chemicals, such as liquid fertilizers, to such fluid during flow.

More particularly, it relates to a multi-chambered apparatus that can contain a plurality of water-soluble chemicals or water additives, the apparatus being placed in-line with respect to the fluid flow for distribution of the chemicals and additives together with the water that passes through the apparatus. It also relates to such an apparatus that allows for separately controllable feed rates from each of the chambers contained within the apparatus. It also relates to such an apparatus that can, in an alternative embodiment, be used as a portable
unit.

I own a patent allowing for a cost effective ease of use apparatus for selectively dispensing fertilizer, mosquito control, pesticides or like mediums, through an in-ground irrigation system or an above ground sprinkler.

This apparatus encompasses a system allowing for a controlled dispersion of single or multi mediums, alone or in unison of one another allowing for superior versatility. The advantage of the system over all other systems is as follows:

In the lawn care industry one would expect:

	Superior versatility
	May be utilized within a new or existing in-ground irrigation system or above ground sprinkler system (portable).
	Eliminates labor intensive efforts.
	Simple one-step unit operation .
	Cost effective verses currently used lawn care.
	Measured distribution delivers more predictable results.

Additionally, the new technology is low tech, extremely cost-effective with simplicity of manufacturing - there is only one (1) moving part. This is a truly vertical-integrated product/concept that compliments the company's consumer interest. The potential outcome of this venture may be a new product group and a potential increase of revenue for the company's established brand name lines.

There exists a strategic methodology for being the major player in the field.

There are three (3) distinct markets available to develop:

	Residential
	Commercial
	Specialty Niche Agri-business

Commentary:

The Specialty Niche Agri-business application may be a partial answer to reducing the problem of E. coli within the irrigation farming industry and reducing the outbreaks of the disease for the nation. For more information about this invention, please contact: Steve Messina (419) 871-1295.
