A gravity-fed Blumat drip irrigation kit for up to 12 potted plants or a growing area of up to 3.5 square meters. It includes twelve 5-inch Tropf Blumat sensors, a 5-gallon reservoir with installed bulkhead fittings, and a water-level indicator. The gravity-fed system operates without electricity. Choose the right sensor size The included 5-inch sensors are intended for smaller potted plants, up to 10-gallon pots. For larger plants in pots of 10 gallons or more, we recommend 9-inch Maxi sensors to reach deeper into the soil. Contact us if you are choosing between sensor sizes. Reservoir and installation Perfect for landscapers and home gardeners. It is easily installed with a pair of scissors and connects directly to your reservoir. This kit includes twelve, 5” carrots and all the parts required for a gravity-fed system. Reservoirs should be at least 3' above ground-level. The reservoir is included, but you need a suitable location to elevate it. Review the water-source and indoor-use guidance below before installation. Water-source requirements 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. The Pressure Reducer is in 'Related Products' below. Let us know if we can help you select the right products for your custom irrigation system! Indoor-use warning Note: Blumat Classics (Juniors) and bottle adapters are designed for houseplants while Tropf-Blumat Sensors (the one's with the small adjustable brown knob on top) are designed for greenhouses, growrooms, decks, and outside gardens. Blumats Austria says "Please don't use the Tropf-Blumats indoors" because if hooked up to a constant water source and a pet, guest, or user-error somehow causes a run-away, it could damage an indoor floor, drywall, carpet, or furniture. We, and many others, do in fact use these systems inside ourselves, however, we are generally around enough that if a problem did occur, we would be able to notice a problem and fix it in time (not the case if someone is on vacation). We have many guides for being able to set these up the proper way and avoid a run-away or general mistakes. Please contact us for any help, we are always here to help make your life easier. How it works As the soil dries, changes in pressure inside each Tropf Blumat sensor open its valve and allow water to flow from the supply line. When the soil is sufficiently moist, the valve closes. Each sensor responds to moisture where it is installed rather than following a fixed watering schedule. Each standard sensor covers an area approximately 12 inches in diameter. Additional supply hose, sensors and distributor drippers can be used to customize the layout. Components This kit includes: 2 - Blumat Tees - 8mm x 3mm x 8mm 1 - Blumat 8mm Tee 1 - Classic Pipette 1 - Blumat 8mm shut Off Valve 25 ft Red 8mm Super-Flex tubing 1 - Blumat Medium Box Kit 1 - Blumat Water Reservoir 5 Gallon Bucket with Bulkhead fittings 1 - Water level indicator for 5 gallon bucket The kit contains twelve 5-inch sensors, supplied as part of the Blumat Medium Box Kit listed above.

It is easily installed with a pair of scissors and connects directly to your reservoir. This kit includes six, 5" carrots and all parts required for a gravity-fed system. Reservoirs should be at least 3' above ground-level. 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 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 system does not include a Pressure Reducer or water source. A pressure reducer is needed 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. Note: We recommend Blumat Classics (Juniors) and bottle adapters for houseplants.

Full control over your Blumat system pressure. Adjustable from 2–14 PSI with a built-in gauge so you always know exactly what your system is running — the most important number to know in any Blumat setup. Key Features ＋ Built-in 0–30 PSI pressure gauge for real-time monitoring High flow rate of over 5 gallons per minute — can replace six or more standard Blumat pressure reducers Adjustable from 2–14 PSI to match any distribution method (drippers, drip rings, BluSoak) Powerful enough for the largest systems, precise enough for single-zone setups Connections & Adapters ＋ The reducer body has a ½" male pipe thread (MPT) inlet and a ¾" female pipe thread (FPT) outlet. Included adapters make it easy to install: Input — ¾" PVC swivel adapter for standard garden hoses or hose bibs Output — ¾" to ½" Perma-Loc fitting for Trunk Line Kits Output — ¾" to 8mm adapter for Supply Line Kits with SuperFlex tubing Also includes — ¾" FPT tee and 1/4" to ¾" MBT bushing Installation Instructions ＋ Tape all male fittings with the provided tape, wrapping 5–6 times clockwise. Assemble parts as pictured in the instruction diagram. Connect to a valve on a pump kit or to a hose bib using the provided ¾" swivel adapter. Using the provided fittings, connect to your Blumat system supply line. Open the incoming water to check current system pressure. Recommended ranges: Drip rings — 12–15 PSI BluSoak — 7–10 PSI To adjust pressure: turn off incoming water, release system pressure by opening a valve on the Blumat supply line until the gauge reads 0, then turn the black adjustment collar (tighten for more pressure, loosen for less). Close the Blumat supply line valve and open incoming water to re-pressurize. Check the gauge. If not in range, repeat steps 6–7 until correct.
