Description
NOTE: This is only the inner ring of one of our flow restrictors. You may install this onto your spigot or supply line.
We also sell fully-assembled 'Silver' flow restrictors (IG16375) that can be easily attached to your system.
Flow restrictors function similarly to a pressure reducer. However, they regulate certain flow rates that should be implemented into your system.
We install flow restrictors in our BluSoak systems in order to restrict the total amount of water that can enter the system at a given time. This acts as a safety mechanism to ensure your system doesn't flood or water too rapidly in case of malfunctions.
This 'Silver' version limits flow for our mega drip tape to 21 gallons/hour and should be installed when using lengths of BluSoak between 750 to 1500 feet.
Description
Use this to restrict the flow of your system to 0.5GPH, great for BluSoak and EasySoak Systems alike.

Description
If connecting a Blumat pump system to a reservoir through the side or bottom is inconvenient or not possible, this option makes it easy to mount the pump above the reservoir without losing the prime. The foot valve stops the water from going back down into the reservoir and air getting into the line each time the pump turns off. This includes 6' of special flex-tube, a foot valve, clamps and fittings that will connect into the filter or pump.
Description
Foot valves go into a reservoir or water tank and keep the input line full of water. They let the water come in but not out. This prevents the need to prime the pump or for the pump to work hard self-priming. Blumats don't like air in the lines and this prevents that. Without it, the water goes back into the reservoir each time the pump turns off and air goes in. If you install the bulkhead fitting on the side of the reservoir though and the pump lower than the water level, you won't need this. 3/4" female pipe thread.

DescriptionBlusoak tape and fittings to water a 4'x8' area. To connect to a 5 gallon reservoir with a Float valve (IG18380). For small systems, this is a simple way of controlling your pressure without needing a pressure regulator - just raise the reservoir higher for more water, lower for less. The output fittings include an adapter to the included 8mm line these kits use. Each includes the fittings and supply line to go from the bucket to the bed plus an auto-irrigation system.
Description
Keep those long rows, planter boxes, or plants against a fence in good watering shape. This kit includes 50 feet of BluSoak with a Blumat sensor and fittings. If the ground is flat and the moisture evenly spread out, you can put the sensor directly in the ground. If uneven elevation or soil types, you can put the sensor in a pot or container and use tht to adjust the moisture levels. If you manually turn the water on and off or use a timer, you can use the Blumat sensor as a flow controller.

Roots in fabric pots reach the sides and stop growing out because of the "air pruning" effect. Instead, the roots branch out from the center and fill the soil with lots of smaller but stronger roots. In plastic or ceramic pots, the roots circle around and the plants become root-bound. Less expensive, easier to move around and store, more environmental, and better for the plants; the benefits of fabric pots can surprise you.

Description
These are the highest quality grade fabric pots in the market. Fabric pots keep your soil cooler than clay or plastic because of the breathability of the fabric. These pots will keep your roots cooler where traditional pots can't. Grassroot Fabric Pots contain MoistureLock Technology. A strip of BPA-free waterproof fabric is sewn to the inside of the container, which helps plant health because of great drainage. A triple hem on top for added strength These pots allow water to move downward, which helps to avoid dry pockets in the soil. Regular fabric pots dry from the sides, MoistureLock prevents that, simulating the way soil dries in nature. The bottom seam is sewn on the outside with marine-bonded thread to prevent rot. There is less surface area for water to escape the container, which means less water usage (lower labor) and lower humidity indoors. Because of the fabric of these pots, aeration and air pruning comes from the strip of breathable fabric towards the bottom of the container.
Dimensions: 12"d x 9.5"h
This deluxe version of our Gravity Irrigation Kit ads 6 more XL Classics, a 12" rain screen for the top, an interior filter, and adapters for a total of 12 as well as a water level indicator that shows how much water is in your reservoir. You can fill these with rainwater, the water that would normally go down the drain while you're waiting for it to get hot, from a pond, from a garden hose, or any good source. We designed this for a kind of simplicity that can make it extremely easy for people without much time, money, or mechanical skills. It's simple, complete, easy to set up, and inexpensive; but also, creates an easy way almost anyone can help keep more moisture in the ground, lower ambient air temperatures, prevent erosion, and keep the soil and plants more healthy. This represents only a small step in solving these environmental problems but it has solid benefits as well as providing a base learning curve for setting up larger systems in the future.
