AgriDosing is excited to introduce the Tefen MixRite LF-1000, a compact water powered dosing pump designed specifically for low flow applications such as gardens, nurseries, greenhouses, small irrigation systems and light fertigation setups.
The MixRite LF-1000 is built for users who need simple, accurate and reliable chemical or fertiliser injection without electricity. With a fixed 0.2% dosing ratio, low starting flow requirements and quiet operation, it is a practical option for smaller systems where standard dosing pumps may be too large.

What is the MixRite LF-1000?
The MixRite LF-1000 is a water driven proportional dosing pump from Tefen. It is designed to inject a measured amount of additive into a water line as water flows through the unit.
Unlike electric dosing pumps, the MixRite LF-1000 does not require power. It operates hydraulically using the pressure and flow of the water line, making it a simple and efficient solution for garden and irrigation dosing.
The LF-1000 has been developed for quieter operation and lower flow applications, making it especially suitable for domestic gardens, public gardens, nurseries, small irrigation zones and greenhouse systems.

Why the LF-1000 is Different
Most water powered dosing pumps are designed for larger agricultural, livestock or commercial irrigation systems. While these pumps are excellent for higher flow applications, they may not always be the best fit for small gardens or low flow irrigation setups.
The MixRite LF-1000 fills that gap.
It is designed to operate from low water flow rates, starting from 10 L/h according to Tefen’s technical data, with the supplied brochure also highlighting suitability for very low flow garden use. This makes it a strong choice for smaller irrigation systems where accurate, proportional dosing is still required.
The LF-1000 is also designed for quiet operation, which makes it more suitable for residential and public garden environments where noise matters.

Best Applications for the MixRite LF-1000
The LF-1000 is a great option for smaller systems where controlled dosing is required without overcomplicating the setup.
It is suitable for:
- Home gardens
- Public gardens
- Nurseries
- Greenhouses
- Small irrigation zones
- Light fertigation systems
- Garden fertiliser injection
- Plant health treatments
- Low flow watering systems
For larger irrigation, agriculture or livestock applications, you may need a larger MixRite or Dosatron model with a higher flow range.
Why Choose a Water Powered Dosing Pump?
Water powered dosing pumps are popular because they dose proportionally to the water flow. As water passes through the pump, the unit draws in the additive and injects it into the water line at a consistent rate.
This means the dose remains proportional even if water flow changes within the pump’s operating range.
For garden and irrigation systems, this can help deliver a consistent fertiliser or treatment solution across the watering cycle.
Water powered dosing pumps are also useful because they do not require electricity, making them ideal for simple irrigation systems, rural properties and locations where power access is limited.
Quiet Operation for Garden Environments
One of the major advantages of the MixRite LF-1000 is its quiet operation.
This is especially useful for domestic gardens, public gardens and landscaped areas where loud equipment can be disruptive. The LF-1000 has been designed for quiet and reliable performance, making it a more practical option for areas where the pump may be installed close to homes, pathways or public spaces.
Simple Fixed 0.2% Dosing
The LF-1000 has a fixed 0.2% dosing rate.
This makes it easy to use because there is no complicated adjustment required. For many garden and light fertigation applications, a fixed low dosing rate can provide a simple and consistent solution.
A 0.2% dosing ratio means the pump injects approximately 2 litres of additive per 1000 litres of water passing through the unit, depending on system conditions.
Compact Design
The LF-1000 has a compact body design, making it easy to install in tight spaces or smaller irrigation setups.
This is useful for garden sheds, irrigation cabinets, nursery systems, greenhouse benches and small pump stations where space may be limited.
Who Should Choose the MixRite LF-1000?
The MixRite LF-1000 is a good choice if you:
- Have a smaller irrigation system
- Need a low flow dosing pump
- Want a simple fixed dosing ratio
- Do not want to use electricity
- Need quiet operation
- Are dosing fertiliser or garden additives
- Want a compact pump for a garden, nursery or greenhouse
- Need proportional dosing for light fertigation
If your system has a higher flow rate or requires adjustable dosing, you may be better suited to another MixRite, Dosatron or Mixtron model.
Need Help Choosing the Right Dosing Pump?
If you are unsure whether the MixRite LF-1000 is right for your system, AgriDosing can help.
Before choosing a dosing pump, it is useful to know:
- Your water flow rate
- Your system pressure
- The chemical or fertiliser being dosed
- The required dosing ratio
- Your pipe size
- Whether the system is used for gardening, fertigation, livestock, water treatment or another application
If the LF-1000 is not the best fit, we can help recommend a suitable alternative from our MixRite, Dosatron, Mixtron or EMEC range.
Final Thoughts
The Tefen MixRite LF-1000 is a compact and quiet water powered dosing pump designed for gardens, nurseries, greenhouses and low flow irrigation systems.
With no electricity required, a fixed 0.2% dosing ratio, low flow capability and simple operation, it is a practical option for users who need reliable proportional dosing in smaller systems.
