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.
Blumat Drip Irrigation
Blumat 1-5 Gallon Pot Kit - Economy
Description This kit provides an easy, fast, and water-saving way to water a 1 to 5 gallon pot. No timers, batteries, or electricity required! This system utilizes a Blumat carrot (sensor) to automatically water and monitor the moisture levels in your garden soil. Water source needs to be above the garden for a gravity system. For a pressure system running off a faucet or garden hose, simply add a Blumat Pressure Reducer. This Kit Includes: 1 Blumat Standard Carrot (5") 2' of 3mm drip tube 1 universal stake 1 Blumat protective cap What You Might Need (not included in kit): Connection to your water source (either thru-hull bulkhead fitting for gravity systems, a pressure reducer, or a Blumat pump for larger systems) 8mm Supply tube to connect your water source to your Blumats Additional Hold-Down stakes or 3mm tubing Fittings (tee's, elbows, couplers, etc.) *Customer assembly is required. How it Works The Tropf Blumat self-watering system functions automatically, without the need for timers. Each Blumat is both a sensor, a valve and a dripper. As the soil dries, suction pulls open the valve within the Blumat, allowing the flow of water through the 3mm tubing. As the soil reaches the desired moisture content, the suction is released, closing the valve. Each Tropf Blumat waters completely independently. Therefore the plants are watered individually, naturally accounting for changes in the environment.For a gravity-fed system, you'll need a reservoir. See 5-gallon Reservoirs below, sold with or without thru-hulls installed. Let us know if we can help you select the right products for your custom irrigation system! Need a reservoir?

BluSoak 200 Gallon Pot Kit - Mid Range
Description This kit provides an easy, fast, and water-saving way to water a 200 gallon pot. No timers, batteries, or electricity required! Click here to download the instructions. This system utilizes a Blumat carrot (sensor) to automatically water and monitor the moisture levels in your garden soil. BluSoak tape allows for even water distribution throughout. When coupled together with Blumat carrots, BluSoak hose only delivers water to your veggies when they need it, which promotes exponential growth and impressive yields. You can also leave your BluSoak tape under your garden all winter, no problem. Water source needs to be 6-10' above the garden for a gravity system. For a pressure system running off a faucet or garden hose, simply add a Blumat Pressure Reducer. This Kit Includes: 1 Blumat Standard Carrot (5") 1 Blumat Maxi Carrot (9") 2 Blu-Soak Tape Fittings to 3mm 22 feet BluSoak 2.0 Drip Tape 5 BluSoak hold-down Stakes 3' of Blumat 3mm Tubing *Customer assembly is required.What You Might Need (Not included in kit): Connection to your water source (either thru-hull bulkhead fittings for gravity systems, a pressure reducer, or a Blumat pump for larger systems) 8mm Supply tube to connect your water source to your Blumats Additional Hold-Down stakes or 3mm tubing Fittings (tee's, elbows, couplers, etc.) for your custom system 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, or rain barrel with the help of the Pressure Reducer or Thru-Hull Bulkhead Fittings. 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. 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 taking in water. PLEASE NOTE: This system does not include a water source.

BluSoak 2.0 Drip Tape - 2500'
Description The BluSoak 2.0 when placed on the surface of soil or another growing medium ensures effective irrigation. This tape can be connected to Tropf Blumats and requires no electricity, batteries, timers or controllers. Without electricity, batteries, timers or controllers; BluSoak 2.0 connected to a Tropf Blumat will assure automatic, even irrigation while minimizing water and nutrient use. It saves time, water, labor, and nutrients while increasing yields and plant health. How it works: In order to compromise between extreme performance and high cost, the BluSoak drip tape was introduced as a component to extend the watering ability and distribution of each Tropf Blumat sensor. BluSoak drip tape finds a balance between the highest level of performance and the lowest costs possible. Water leaks out at an extremely slow rate which can almost completely stop water loss from evaporation if under a good mulch. Because the water goes so slowly, it goes deeper instead of horizontally away from the roots. And because it goes deeper, the roots go deeper giving the plants access to nutrients usually below their reach. It makes the plants stronger, more drought tolerant, and increases yields. Due to its porous material the drip tape emits water at an extremely slow pace along its entire surface through billions of micropores. By placing the tubing on the ground alongside the plants, the drip tape slowly emits water into the soil that gradually is absorbed onto the root zone. Because moisture levels are kept at an optimal range, plant productivity and quality improve. The BluSoak 2.0 is able to irrigate all different types of crops with different types of water demands. This is a solution to gardens with high square footage and/or canopy space that want to utilize Blumat technology. BluSoak tape systems are ideal for garden beds, raised beds, and other large volumes of soil or growing media. This can provide the ideal moisture levels and growing environments for high square footage and canopy spaces, greenhouses, traditional garden beds, living soil, and many unique cultivation challenges. This method of combining Blumats with BluSoak 2.0 results in healthier, faster growing, and higher yield harvests due to its water efficiency by delivering water only when the plant requires it.
