Device for preparing a fertilizer solution for use with a fertigation system

Abstract

The present application provides a device (1) for dissolving in an aqueous liquid an essentially water-soluble substance, optionally comprising insoluble solid matter, and, optionally for filtering the aqueous solution of the essentially water-soluble substance to remove the insoluble solid matter. The device (1) comprises a container (2) for holding an aqueous liquid, wherein the interior of the container is divided into two separate compartments, respectively a mixing compartment (12) and a filtering compartment (14), separated by a vertically positioned filter screen (13) comprising a filter; a mixing means positioned in the mixing compartment; an outlet (17) in the lower half of one of the walls or in the base of the mixing compartment (12) for removal of the insoluble solid matter from the mixing compartment (12); a grid (4) positioned above the mixing compartment (12) comprising means for opening a bag (5) positioned on or above the grid (4), and an electronic device (20), optionally comprising a digital display, connected to a sensor (19).
