Description This easy-to-use valve makes switching back and forth between your supply line and nutrient feed easier. NOTE: This is just the valve, which is included in a flush system kit. Our flush systems allow you to flush your plants, a necessary process for those adding nutrients into their system. Flushing removes excess nutrients and debris from from your supply line. You can also use a flush system to add thick nutrients and teas without clogging your Blumat sensors. Our flush valve has 4 settings: all closed, all open, one direction open, and the opposite direction open. Easily: Flush your plants Add thick nutrients and teas without clogging your Blumat sensors Clean out algal and bacterial slime, as well as sediment, from your supply lines Blumats won't allow water to flow until your potting soil dries up, which means the supply line gets flushed, not your soil. When adding tick nutrient or tea, simply turn the Blumat side off, letting the mix flow solely through the flush stake. When cleaning your lines, simply leave both sides open. This system includes everything except for a Blumat sensor: a valve, adapter fittings, tubing, and drip stake.

Description High quality, easy to use bulkhead fittings that automatically stop the water when a line is disconnected. Just a quick twist connects or disconnects supply tubing. These are a little expensive but pay for themselves quickly if you need to change lines frequently. Great for flushing by letting you quickly change from a reservoir with nutrients to one with just water. Also very helpful if you use different nutrients at different times. We also have adapters so you can connect these to 3mm or 1/4" line.Use a 5/8" drill bit to install these into any container of your choice.

Description These are great for watering long plant beds, planter boxes, and giving large plants an even amount of water in a circle around them. They connect to a Tropf-Blumat or a Maxi.This is less expensive than adding more sensors but you may need to add a filter to your system if you use nutrients in your water so they don't clog. Two barbs let you connect tubing on both sides of the dripper for up to five drip locations from one Tropf-Blumat (dripper chain). The end-distributor dripper has a drip nozzle on one side only for use as the end piece in a dripper chain. You can go as far as 100 cm (39") from the sensor with these and they water about 20 cm wide (8"). Minimum pressure to use them like this is 4.5 psi. You can go down as low as 2 psi but the last dripper or two might not put out much water. By adjusting the black screw on the top, you can use more. In pressure systems, customers report successfully using as many as 25 with just one Blumat sensor.
