Please see the Blumat Information page for detailed information on Blumats. In a nutshell, The Tropf (tropf is Austrian for drip) Blumat has become the ideal watering method for growing in greenhouses, for indoor gardening, on decks and in planter boxes, as well as for certain kinds of outdoor plants. It's the evolution of drip irrigation.
Description PERFECT FOR RAIN BARREL(S) - Ideal for automating gravity-fed irrigation and drip irrigation kit(s)! NO PRESSURE REQUIRED - Unlike competitors, this timer has no minimum pressure requirement! AUTOMATIC GRAVITY WATERING - Unlike rainbird, rachio 3, and orbit timers, this will work w/ gravity! BLUSOAK/EASYSOAK COMPATIBLE - This is an ideal timer for BluSoak and EasySoak Drip Tape systems! WIRELESS, WIFI-FREE, BATTERY POWERED - No wifi, no wires, no excessive EMF, just batteries! Forget wasteful lawn sprinkler(s), so-called smart sprinkler controller(s), and systems with excessive drip irrigation parts. This timer is so low-fuss and user-friendly that you'll be throwing away your water sprinklers for lawns, rainbird, rachio 3, and orbit systems. This is the perfect battery-powered timer for any garden watering system, but is ideally suited for gravity-fed systems. Other irrigation timer(s) and wifi sprinkler controller(s) require a minimum pressure input to operate. These timers generally require 10-15PSi to function--but not this gravity system timer. It allows for drip system integration from rain barrel(s) or passive gravity-powered garden irrigation system(s). Intervals can be set anywhere from 1 hour to 1 week, with on times capable of being set to 1 minute up to 120 minutes. This could also be used as garden hose timer, water hose timer, watering timer, outdoor hose timer, hose timer outdoor, hose faucet timer, but it will really shine as a drip irrigation timer and/or garden water timer. This timer uses 2x AA batteries, which are not provided. Dials operate the intervals and on-time, and the timer has a 3/4" Female Hose Thread (FHT) Input (perfect for garden hoses), and a 3/4" Male Hose Thread (MHT) output. This will work ideally with BluSoak and EasySoak Drip Tape watering systems.

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.
