BluSoak Drip Tape

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.

High-Pressure BluSoak Drip Tape is a low-flow, emitter-style drip tape designed specifically for pressurized Blumat irrigation systems. With 6-inch emitter spacing, it delivers deep, even hydration and consistent wicking throughout the soil profile. ⚠️ Not compatible with gravity systems — requires 10–15 PSI to operate correctly. This is the tape we trust for consistent, high-performance Blumat irrigation. What Makes BluSoak Different BluSoak may look like standard drip tape, but performance comes down to flow rate and emitter spacing—and this tape was selected very intentionally. Low-flow output matched to Blumat sensor behavior 6-inch emitter spacing for continuous lateral wicking Even moisture distribution across beds and containers Designed specifically for pressurized Blumat systems After extensive testing, this is the only drip tape we’ve found that consistently performs the way a high-pressure Blumat system is meant to work. How It Performs When run at proper pressure, BluSoak delivers stable, predictable moisture across the entire root zone. Uniform hydration without dry spots No channeling or uneven watering Minimal runoff when properly set up Consistent performance across the full length of the tape This creates a balanced moisture environment that supports healthy roots and consistent plant growth. Pressure Requirements This tape is designed for pressurized systems only. Operating range: 10–15 PSI Ideal with 1-bar (15 PSI) or adjustable pressure reducers Works with pump systems or municipal water sources Gravity systems will not provide enough pressure for proper operation. Available Lengths 10 ft 20 ft 40 ft 100 ft rolls Installation Notes Cut through emitters, not between them. Cutting between emitters can disrupt spacing and lead to uneven or non-functional distribution. Always cut directly through an emitter to maintain proper performance. Ensure all Perma-Loc fittings are fully tightened. For best results, hold the black body of the fitting with pliers or channel-locks, then tighten the green collar by hand until snug. This typically provides an additional ¼ turn compared to hand-tightening alone. Even small leaks can reduce pressure and flow where it matters most, leading to inconsistent watering and reduced Blumat performance. Why Growers Choose BluSoak Clog-resistant design proven in commercial grows Consistent flow and spacing across the entire run Reliable performance under pressure Improved uniformity compared to standard drip tape Excellent value for both small and large systems
