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 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. Automatically water a 4' x 8' raised bed with just a rain barrel or water reservoir (water reservoir not included; see our reservoirs here). Kit includes Blumat carrots for big plants in half the space and small, row crops in the other half - 4 x 4' for things like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, squash and 4 x 4' for things that grow closer together like carrots, lettuce, radish. 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. This kit includes eight, 5" carrots and all the parts required for a gravity-fed system. Reservoirs should be at least 3' above ground-level. 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. *Note: If ordering more than a quantity of two, we will pack together a sample kit with the contents of the kit, but the rest will come in bulk packaging (we do this in order to ship items out in time, rather than to delay shipments). You may special request for all items to be packaged independently, but extra costs may apply.

Description This is the tubing used to connect Blumat components to your water source. It's an 8 mm European style. You can also use US-style 5/16" drip tube but it's hard to find, not very flexible, and the fittings are harder to put in. Buying these larger rolls saves about 15%.

The ultimate upgrade for a Blumat system. The Mini Pump Kit converts your gravity-fed setup into a pressurized irrigation system — faster sensor response, more consistent moisture levels, and the freedom to run a large reservoir on the ground without elevation. Once you run Blumat on pressure, it's very hard to go back. Why Pressure Changes Everything ＋ Blumat systems are pressure-sensitive. Gravity setups can work well, but they often introduce slow response times and small inconsistencies. When you switch to pressure, the entire system tightens up: Faster sensor response to soil moisture changes Adjustments show results much more quickly More consistent moisture levels across your grow More reliable overall system performance What's Included ＋ Mini pump Expansion / pressure tank Adjustable pressure reducer with integrated gauge Inline filter Bulkhead fitting for reservoir connection All tubing and hardware to connect to your reservoir Adapter for 8mm tubing or 1/2" black poly via Perma-Loc fitting System Size & Capacity ＋ Ideal for small tents and home grows Scales to multi-tent setups Rated for up to approximately 50 gallons per day Suitable for larger rooms when properly designed Frequently Asked Questions ＋ Do I need a pump for a small Blumat system?No — but even small systems benefit from faster response and more consistent performance when running on pressure. Can I use a larger reservoir with this system?Yes. One of the biggest advantages is being able to run a large reservoir on the ground instead of elevating it. What's the benefit of switching from gravity to pressure?Faster sensor response, more stable moisture levels, better system control, and reduced maintenance.

This kit is easier to assemble and has a smaller floor footprint then our earlier pump kit models. It can easily supply water pressure to a large number of Blumat Tropfs in both commercial and home operations. When To Use A Pump Kit This kit is a great solution for larger home grows and commercial facilities looking to supply their plants from a reservoir without having to get a reservoir up high for a gravity system or attach directly to a pressurized water line. What This Kit Does Not Include Supply Tubing for your Blumat system A reservoir A drill bit to install our bulkhead into the reservoir (A step up bit is preferable) Components What This Kit Includes Then pump kit includes all fittings needed to get from your chosen supply tank to the supply tubing portion for your Blumat system. This kit also includes our adjustable pressure reducer (2.5—14 psi).

The Grow Tent Preset Blumat Irrigation Kit is a complete, ready-to-install Blumat system designed specifically for indoor grow tents and living soil setups. These kits are built around preset Blumat sensors, which means you get the benefits of plant-driven automation without the confusing setup process. Once installed, your system will maintain stable soil moisture automatically — no timers, no hand watering schedules, and no daily guesswork. Preset Blumat sensors are designed for a fast, repeatable setup. Instead of spending time calibrating and second-guessing adjustments, you can get up and running quickly while still getting the reliable, plant-controlled performance Blumat is known for.

Build the exact Blumat irrigation kit your pots need — from 1-gallon seedling containers to 200-gallon living soil setups. Choose your sensor size, calibration type, and water distribution method. No timers, no electricity, no daily watering. Sensor Size ＋ 5" Sensor — Senses moisture at the soil surface. Best for pots under 10 gallons or shallow-rooted crops. 9" Sensor — Adjustable depth up to 9 inches. Better moisture control for larger containers and deep root zones. Calibration Type ＋ Standard — Ships as-is from Blumat. You dial in the moisture level yourself. Includes 6" of 3mm tubing (5" sensor) or 2 ft (9" sensor). Preset — Pre-calibrated at the factory for most soil and potting mix types. Just insert and go. Includes locking adjustment cap, 3mm union, adjustment key, and extra 2 ft of 3mm tubing. Distribution Method ＋ None (1–5 gal) — Sensor waters directly at the insertion point. Best for small pots. 5" Drip Ring (2–7 gal) — 4 drip points, pre-assembled. 3-Dripper Setup (5–20 gal) — 3 drippers with stakes and 3mm tubing. 10" Drip Ring (10–20 gal) — 8 drip points, pre-assembled. 5-Dripper Setup (10–30 gal) — 5 drippers with stakes and 3mm tubing. BluSoak Tape Loop (30–90 gal) — Single loop for even coverage around large containers. BluSoak Tape Double Spiral (30–90 gal) — Spiral from center outward for maximum coverage. BluSoak Tape Triple Spiral (100–200 gal) — Largest spiral layout for very big pots and beds. What's Included ＋ 1 Blumat sensor (5" or 9" based on selection) 3mm drip tubing (6" or 2 ft based on sensor size) Distribution components based on selection (drip ring, drippers, or BluSoak tape) Preset upgrade includes: locking adjustment cap, 3mm union, adjustment key, extra tubing What You'll Also Need ＋ This kit covers everything at the pot. To complete your system you’ll also need an 8mm supply line and a water source: 8mm Supply Line — runs from your water source to the sensor. See our 8mm SuperFlex Supply Line Kits. Gravity Reservoir — our complete 5-Gallon Deluxe Bucket Kit comes pre-drilled and ready to connect, or grab our 8mm Bulkhead Fittings and use any container of your choosing. Pressurized Source (hose bib or pump) — if connecting to a hose bib or pump instead of a gravity reservoir, you’ll need a Pressure Reducer to bring the pressure down to the safe Blumat operating range of 7–15 PSI. How It Works ＋ The Blumat sensor is a ceramic cone that reads soil moisture. As the soil dries, a vacuum builds inside the cone and pulls water through the drip line. When moisture is restored, the valve closes automatically. Connect your sensor to any 8mm Blumat supply line running from a gravity reservoir or pressurized source. No programming, no timers, no electricity required.
