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 eight, 5" carrots and all parts required for a pressure-fed system. This kit includes a Pressure Reducer, which allows you to connect your Blumat system to a hose or rain barrel. 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 systems 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. How it works The Tropf Blumat self-watering system functions automatically. As the soil dries, a vacuum and hydro-static pressure, coupled with a spring-loaded gating mechanism, pulls water from the main line. When the soil is sufficiently moist, pressures equalize, and the Tropf Blumat automatically stops dripping water. Each Blumat Outdoor Sensor in the Small Box Kit covers an area 12 inches in diameter. To expand and customize your own system, add additional Supply Hoses, Outdoor Sensors, and Distributor Drippers. PLEASE NOTE: This system does not include a water source. You must have a hose bib water source for this system to connect to. If you would like to convert the system to a stand-alone gravity system, see our 5-gallon Reservoirs below, sold with or without thru-hulls installed.

The material has a hardness rating of 60 Shore A and is heat-stabilized to withstand up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, or 230 Celsius. SUPERIOR FLEXIBILITY - Elbows etc. not required due to malleability- turn hard corners easy! HIGH QUALITY - Durable silicone tubing endures in harsh indoor/outdoor garden environments! EASY CONNECTIONS - Simply push over an 8mm barb - no strength/tricky mechanisms required! BLUMAT-READY - Integrate blumat systems and super-flex with nothing more than a pair of scissors! ALMOST KINK-PROOF - Incredible material is practically impossible to kink - Re-use again and again! This tubing cannot be stained, is re-usable, and is basically the Rambo of water-supply tubing! It can endure highs and lows of temperatures as well as varying pressures, can endure high-UV environs (we have tested it for years in high-altitude mountains of Colorado), and you'd really need to make a conscious effort to kink or otherwise crease this tubing. This tubing will readily integrate to any Tropf Blumat or 8mm Blumat Fitting, including the 8mm Through-Hull Bulkhead Tank connector or Pressure Reducer. That means you really just need a bulkhead or two, some of this tubing, and a Blumat to automatically water your plants!
