Fast shallow-soil information when you need itLike the 12" version, this 6" sensor measures soil moisture and transmits it to an IrroCloud Monitor. Because this one is closer to the soil surface, it works best for plants with shallow roots and for large plants when they're still small. Hook up 1-6 of these for every IrroCloud Monitor you have or plan to get and automatically have all this critical information on your phone or computer. You can also install a combination of 6" and 12" sensors on the same system with the same simple software, accuracy, graphs, averages, and configurations.

Kit required for conversion of electric units to also operate in non-electric or 12V mode. For use with Excel and all Central systems, includes 12V fan.
Description
The ideal kit setup for a 4ft by 10ft raised bed system! Neatly irrigate your garden bed with a manifold of four rows of BluSoak drip tape. This kit contains a single 9” Maxi Blumat. This allows for a dryback between irrigation events, a desired approach by some growers.

What You Might Need (Not included in kit):
Connection to your water source (either thru-hull bulkhead fitting for gravity systems, a pressure reducer, or a Blumat pump for larger systems)
8mm Supply tube to connect your water source to your Blumats
Additional Hold-Down stakes or 3mm tubing
Fittings (tee's, elbows, couplers, etc.)
Reservoir- See our 5 gallon bucket reservoirs
How it works
The Tropf Blumat self-watering system functions automatically, without the need for timers. Each Blumat is both a sensor, a valve. and a dripper. As the soil dries, suction pulls open the valve within the blumat, allowing the flow of water through the 3mm tubing. As the soil reaches the desired moisture content, the suction is released, closing the valve. Each Tropf blumat waters completely independently. Therefore the plants are watered individually, naturally accounting for changes in the environment.

Description
The 902-200 controller comes in an outdoor enclosure with water level sensors and sensor wire. It can be operated from a 12V or 24V array. The 902-100 control must be mounted in a dry location and used with a 24V array. 1 year warranty.
The built-in "Linear Current Boosting" circuits optimize yoiur solar water pumping system by translating the current and voltage from your DC power source into a combination that is better matched to that needed by the pump. In addition to increasing your pumping system's efficiency, the 902-200 DC Pump Controller provides your pump with protection from excessive or insufficient voltage. The controller also has the ability to automate your pumping system, ensuring that the pump does not run when the well water is too low (level sensing probes are included) or the reservoir is full (float switch must be purchased separately). The optimization, protection, and automation this controller provides make it an important component in a well designed solar water pumping system.

DescriptionWant to use Dosatron products with Blumats? No problem! Inspired by our friends out in Oregon at High Wind Farms we built this kit. Blumat systems generally operate at very low flow rates. This is an advantage over other watering systems for many reasons. However, low flow rates prevent the use of dosing systems like a Dosatron because they have minimum flow rate requirements to operate properly. By placing the Dosatron between a high flow pump and a pressure accumulator tank, the issue is solved.The pressure switch on the pump turns itself on and off as pressure levels in the accumulator tank drop. This creates bursts of high flow through the Dosatron at appropriate flow rate levels. The tank fills with nutrient mix and feeds itself through a pressure reducer into the Blumat system, maintaining constant pressure. Nutrient solution is then available to plants as they need it, 24 hours per day.This kit uses the Dosatron D8RE2. This is fertilizer injector has a variable uptake range from 0.2%-2%. While more expensive than a standard model it allows for versatility and adaptability in your nutrient program.

The 12 VOLT FAN is meant to accelerate airflow in all non-electric units. It comes pre-installed in an 11" piece of 4" diameter vent pipe so that it will fit inline in your vent stack. It also protects against downdraft and increases the evaporative performance of your non-electric unit by about 10 to 15% (still not enough to evaporate all liquids on an NE). The 2 watt, 12V fan option increases capacity and evaporation for heavy or residential use. Fan option uses 2.4 watts. Its purchase is optional with an Excel NE, a Centrex 2000 NE, or a Centrex 1000 NE.
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.
