    Blumat Pressure Reducer 0.5 Bar (7.25 psi)

    15 in stock

    Description True reducer - Not a mere flow controller, this brings water pressure down to 7.25 psi (0.5 bar)! Easy to install - Screws onto standard hose thread (3/4" input), and outputs to 8mm tubing! Enduring - Made from ABS plastic and designed with few points of failure, this is built to last! Blumat ready - Designed specifically for Blumat water systems and 8mm tubing, no tools necessary! Austria-engineered - This is high-quality component and is designed and manufactured by clever Austrians! Blumat systems need low pressure, much less than comes from a normal house water connections. The Blumat Pressure Reducer allows for easy integration of a municipal (or otherwise pressurized line, such as from a well) water line into a blumat, blusoak, or easysoak watering system. Beware imposters! Many pressure reducers are not real pressure reducers at all, but are merely flow controllers, and reduce flow rates. However, reduced flow rates do not necessarily correlate to reduced pressure. This is a true pressure reducer, and will reduce any incoming water (with a maximum pressure input of 87 psi) down to 7.25i (0.5 bar) output. This is ideally suited and low enough for Blumat systems and their components. Higher pressure will push tubing connections apart, and increase likelihood of flooding. This pressure reducer is extremely easy to use. The input side screws onto a standard 3/4") hose bibb or hose threading, often found on taps outside the home, or even faucets inside the home. The output side (featured with collar) is ideally suited for 8mm tubing (I suggest using our super-flex tubing). This is the size that integrates directly with Tropf Blumats. This adaptation makes setting up a Blumat system from a hose or pressurized line an absolute breeze, and you can install blumats in seconds. Blumat systems need low pressure, much less than comes from a normal house water connections. Some of our kits include one of these but if you'd like to install the other ones or the separate components to a home water system, you'll need one of these Pressure Reducers. In gravity systems you'll also need one if your storage tank is high uphill. In Grow Rooms and Greenhouses with a reservoir for mixing nutrients, you can connect a small pressure pump to this and automatically feed your plants when you water. On one side it adapts to a 3/4" male hose thread and on the other directly to a Blumat 8mm supply tube. Maximum input pressure is 87 psi.

    Inexpensive but accurate and adjustable, this pressure reducer lets you adjust the input pressure of a Blumat system from between 1 and 14 psi - you can uniformly modify moisture levels of your entire garden with the turn of a single dial. Lower the pressure for dryer soil, raise it to keep it more moist. Because you can adjust all the Blumat sensors in your system from a single point, the more plants you have, the more time you save.  And  its high 5 GPM flow capacity means more consistency and even output. 0-30 psi gauge, 3/4" FPT swivel input, output options 1/2" FPT, 8 mm barb, or 1/2" Perma-loc.
