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 If you're growing outside in a windy area or for any reason want to make sure your drippers don't move, these stakes will help. And good for making the tubing stay where you want it when you're making big curves - they fit both the distribution drippers and the 8 mm tubing. They're also really good if you're using Blumats in a very low pressure, gravity system. With these you can raise the drippers off the ground and help keep them from clogging.

Description BLUMAT-READY - These valves are ready to be installed in-line in 8mm tubing in seconds! EASY CONTROL - Turn on/off water supply at the turn of a valve to your whole blumat system! HIGH QUALITY/ENDURING - Made simply & w/ care by Blumats you trust, you can expect these to last! PURGE - These work perfectly at the end of 8mm tubing to purge air and/or debris from the line! AUSTRIAN-MADE - Leave it to the Austrians to design and engineer such a foolproof device! These shut-off (or on/off) valves from Blumat brand are the quarter-turn valves you've been looking for! These valves are ideal for blumat watering systems. They can be installed in-line in any 8mm tubing, but we recommend super-flex. Simply remove the collar, and place the collar over the 8mm tubing. Then slide the tubing over the 8mm barb, screw on the threaded collar, and you are in a perfect position to irrigate your plants! These can be used to turn on/off water supply to your entire garden, or just branches of your garden (or even individual plants, plant rows, etc.--your imagination is the limit!). PLOT TWIST: These blumat fittings can also be used as purge valves. A purge valve is used to remove air, particulate matter, or other debris from a water supply line. This can be accomplished in two different ways. One is simply by concluding an 8mm tubing or line with one of these valves. The valve will remain closed 99% of the time, but should be opened if air/debris is suspected in the tubing. The air and/or debris will flow out of the tubing when the valve is opened. The second way to install a purge valve in a blumat watering system is by cutting in the middle of a "loop" design, installing a 3-way 8mm Tee fitting, and installing one of these valves on the open-end of the tee. Simply open the valve to "purge" or clear your lines.

Description These really help in greenhouses and raised beds. They help you neatly go around corners in your Tropf Blumat irrigation system. The right-angled elbow eliminates bends in the tubing that can limit the flow in your irrigation system. The black plastic is robust and barbed at both ends to hold the tube securely in place. Contains three 8mm (5/16") elbows.

Description These let you split off branch feeder tubes and terminate them instead of making wide loops with your feeder tube. Outside for big plants you may not need to use these but for smaller areas and greenhouses, they really help. Contains 2 tees and 2 end-pieces.

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. This pack contains 10 distributors and 2 meters of (6.5 feet) of 3mm drip tubing. 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. Components Set Includes: 10 Distribution Drippers (8 Regular + 2 End Drippers) (IG15557,IG15558) 2 Meters (6.5 ft) 3mm Drip Tube (IG16021V)

A true pressure reducer — not a flow controller. Drops incoming water pressure down to 15 PSI (1 bar), the safe operating range for all Tropf Blumat sensors and BluSoak systems. Screws onto any standard 3/4" hose bib and outputs directly to 8mm Blumat supply tubing. Key Features ＋ True pressure reducer — actually lowers system pressure, not just flow rate Fixed output of 15 PSI (1 bar) — the ideal operating pressure for Blumat systems Maximum input pressure of 87 PSI 3/4" female hose thread input — connects to any standard hose bib or faucet 8mm barb output — connects directly to Blumat supply tubing, no tools needed Made from ABS plastic, Austrian-engineered, designed for long-term reliability Why a True Reducer Matters ＋ Many products sold as pressure reducers are actually flow controllers — they restrict flow but don't lower actual system pressure. Reduced flow does not equal reduced pressure. This is a genuine pressure reducer that brings any incoming supply down to a safe 15 PSI output regardless of flow. Running Blumat sensors above 15 PSI risks pushing tubing connections apart and flooding. This is the component that prevents that.

Our medium kits are designed to water areas up to 3.5 square meters, or 12 potted plants. Blumat systems can adjust to any plant type or desired moisture level. This specific kit comes with 5" carrots, which are better for smaller potted plants (10 gallons at most). If you have large plants (10+ gallon pots), we recommend using 9" carrots, or Maxis, to get water deep into the soil. Increase your yields and decrease grow times. Our fully-automatic, self-watering systems save time, water, and nutrients - and still ensure healthier, more potent, and faster-growing crops. Perfect for landscapers and home gardeners. It is easily installed with a pair of scissors and connects directly to your hose, tap or rain barrel with the help of the Pressure Reducer. This kit includes twelve, 5" carrots and all the parts required for a gravity-fed system. Reservoirs should be at least 3' above ground-level. An optional Pressure Reducer attached to garden hose or faucet can provide enough water for up to 500 Blumat Carrots (See 'Related Products'). If your reservoir does not have a thru-hull installed, you will have to drill a hole into your reservoir bucket and install a thru-hull piece. For our customers' convenience, we also sell 5-gallon reservoirs with thru-hulls already installed. The Tropf Blumat system is great for watering balcony boxes, planters, hanging baskets, and row crops. It fulfills the needs of the plants on an individual basis, regardless of their location, light levels, or plant type. Our systems save your plants from excessive and improper watering. Tropf Blumat system are ideal for plant groupings that require consistent moisture, such as vegetable gardens, bushes, flower beds, grow bags and greenhouse containers. Not only do your plants receive the right amount of water, slow and consistent dripping ensures that your plants receive warmed water, avoiding shock. This Deck and Planter Kit is a great way to start your customized irrigation system. The flexible system can be expanded to include up to 500 drippers. See 'Blumat Accessories' to expand our systems to your specific needs. PLEASE NOTE: Tropf Blumat systems do not include a Pressure Reducer or a water source. You will need a pressure reducer if you are connecting your system to a threaded spigot, such as your hose/home water supply or the spigot on a rain barrel or reservoir. Let us know if we can help you select the right products for your custom irrigation system! Note: This system is not designed for indoor use. Blumat Classics and bottle adapters are designed for houseplants while Tropf-Blumat Sensors (the ones with the small adjustable brown knob on top) are designed for greenhouses, grow rooms, decks, and outside gardens. If hooked up to a constant water source and a pet, guest, or user-error somehow causes a run-away, it could damage an indoor floor, drywall, carpet, or furniture. Components This Kit Includes: 12 Blumat carrots (5") 7 meters (23 feet) of 8mm tubing 1 tee splitter 1 elbow splitter 1 hose coupler 1 hose end-piece 1 rain barrel/gravity tank connector and installation instructions
