The ultimate upgrade for a Blumat system. The Mini Pump Kit converts your gravity-fed Blumat setup into a pressurized irrigation system for faster response, more reliable performance, and significantly better control over soil moisture. It also gives you the freedom to run a larger reservoir on the ground—no elevation required. Once you run Blumat on pressure, it’s very hard to go back. What the Mini Pump Does The Blumat Mini Pump Kit converts a gravity-fed system into a stable, pressurized irrigation system. This allows your Blumat sensors to react faster, operate more consistently, and stay dialed in with far less effort. For many growers, this is the upgrade that finally makes Blumat perform the way it was always meant to. 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 Many growers describe this upgrade as the moment everything finally “clicks.” The system becomes predictable, responsive, and easy to trust. Stable Pressure = Better Performance This kit includes our adjustable pressure reducer with integrated gauge—one of the most important components in the entire system. The advantage is not just adjustability. The real value is maintaining stable, consistent pressure while giving you visibility into what your system is doing. Consistent pressure across the system Built-in gauge for real-time monitoring Faster and more precise system adjustments Adapts to 8 mm tubing or 1/2 inch black poly using a Perma-Loc fitting Blumat performance depends on pressure. This gives you control over it. What Comes in the Kit Mini Pump Expansion / pressure tank Adjustable pressure reducer with gauge Inline filter Bulkhead fitting for reservoir connection Tubing and all necessary parts to connect to your reservoir Adapter setup from the pressure reducer to either: 8 mm tubing 1/2 inch black poly (via Perma-Loc fitting) This is a complete, practical kit designed to take you from reservoir to a fully functioning pressurized Blumat system. Bigger Reservoir, Less Maintenance Gravity systems require elevated reservoirs, which limits how much water you can store and adds daily maintenance. With the Mini Pump Kit, your reservoir can sit on the ground and be sized however you want. Use larger reservoirs Reduce refill frequency Maintain a more stable water supply Leave your garden unattended for longer periods This is not just a performance upgrade—it’s a major quality-of-life improvement. System Size & Capacity The Mini Pump Kit is designed to support a wide range of grow sizes while maintaining stable pressure. Ideal for small tents and home grows Scales to multi-tent setups Suitable for larger rooms when designed properly Rated for up to approximately 50 gallons per day, making it a strong solution for both hobby and serious growers looking for reliable performance. Is This Right for My Grow? This kit is ideal if you are currently running a gravity-fed Blumat system and want better performance, more control, and less day-to-day maintenance. It’s also a great fit if you: Want faster response from your sensors Are tired of inconsistent moisture levels Want to run a larger reservoir without lifting it Are building a more dialed-in, scalable system Even small systems benefit significantly from the improved responsiveness and stability of pressure. 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. What is the benefit of switching from gravity to pressure? You get faster sensor response, more stable moisture levels, better system control, and reduced maintenance. 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.

Blumat-ready - This 5 gallon water tank comes ready with bulkheads/spigots for 8mm Blumat tubing! High quality - These buckets are made of HDPE food-grade plastic, and are assembled in the USA! Black/opaque - Designed to keep light out, these water reservoir tank(s) discourage algae growth! Ideal horticulture application - Will work for hydroponic bucket(s) or other gardening uses! Bucket with spigot(s) - Pre-installed, no tools required to get this reservoir working for your plants! Bulkheads are installed with nipples facing inward for shipping only. The bulkheads/spigots should be flipped around so that the nipples face outward for garden, horticultural, and hydroponic applications. These will work as reservoirs for Blumat watering systems, can work in hydroponic bucket system(s), can replace hydroponic reservoir(s), and are essentially kits for water barrels with spigots! You certainly don't need to be DIY-friendly to use these buckets, as we do the work requiring elbow grease and tools to get the bulkheads installed. These will deliver water wherever you take your tubing! The bulkheads perfectly integrate to 8mm tubing. We would highly recommend our ultra-high quality and durable silicone super-flex tubing. This can be installed onto this bucket - no tools required! It just slips over the nipples/barbs on the bulkheads that are pre-installed in the container. This 8mm tubing is the ideal size for Blumats, and will slip right over the barbs on the 8mm x 3mm x 8mm Tees (included with each Tropf Blumat). This bucket is really like hitting the "easy button" for Blumat systems, hydroponic watering systems, backyard gardening applications, or just about any other application that you require a 5-gallon reservoir for. This is really like a water barrel spigot kit that has already been configured and assembled for you! 5 Gallon Reservoir with two thru-hulls and lid. The two thru-hull fittings are installed backwards for shipment. When you receive your reservoir simply unscrew and flip the fittings. Grow plants anywhere! Just attach your Blumat 8mm line, fill with water, and almost instantly your plants are taken care of. This includes two installed Blumat adapters and a black lid. They have two connectors to make it easy to set up a "Blumat Loop" system. With these the water goes from 2 directions effectively giving you twice the capacity. It also equalizes the pressure and is a kind of "insurance policy" - if your line gets kinked, something clogs it up, or someone accidentally puts something heavy on it, all the plants will still get water. These are made from recyclable (#2) HDPE plastic called "the only safe plastic for drinking water" so you don't need to worry about anything bad going to your plants. The black color prevents algae and other nasties from growing in your water and also makes the water going to the roots hotter - a little known secret for superior plant growth.

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. 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. Each Blumat Outdoor Sensor in the Deck and Planter Set 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 Tropf Blumat systems do not include a Pressure Reducer. You will need this 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.
