Gardens - Pressure Reducers

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.

Product Description: This Adjustable Pressure Reducer gives you full control over your Blumat system pressure—ideal for consistent performance and the flexibility to fine-tune your setup. It includes a 0–30 PSI pressure gauge, so you always know exactly what your system is running. This is one of the most important numbers to know in a Blumat setup, essential for troubleshooting and dialing in optimal performance. With a high flow rate of over 5 gallons per minute, this reducer can replace six or more standard Blumat pressure reducers. It’s powerful enough for the largest systems, yet adjustable and precise enough to use with small, single-zone setups as well. The pressure can be set anywhere from 2–14 PSI, allowing you to match system pressure to your specific needs. Different distribution methods (drippers, drip rings, BluSoak) and sensor counts may benefit from different pressure settings, and this reducer gives you the control to optimize performance. Pressure is adjusted by turning the black collar: Left (counterclockwise) = less pressure Right (clockwise) = more pressure 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: Adapts to ¾" female hose thread (FHT) for standard garden hoses or hose bibs Output: ½" Perma-Loc fitting (for Trunk Line Kits) 8mm barb adapter (for Supply Line Kits with Superflex tubing)
