Irrigation for Pots

Description This kit provides an easy, fast, and water-saving way to water a 5 gallon fabric pot. No timers, batteries, or electricity required! This system utilizes a Blumat carrot (sensor) to automatically water and monitor the moisture levels in your garden soil. On top of this, there are 5 additional distribution drippers in order to drip onto five different areas of the 5 Gal pot. Water source needs to be above the garden for a gravity system. For a pressure system running off a faucet or garden hose, simply add a Blumat Pressure Reducer. What You Might Need (Not included in kit): Connection to your water source (either thru-hull bulkhead fitting for gravity systems, a pressure reducer, or a Blumat pump for larger systems) 8mm Supply tube to connect your water source to your Blumats Additional Hold-Down stakes or 3mm tubing Fittings (tee's, elbows, couplers, etc.) *Customer assembly is required.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 your soil is sufficiently moist, pressures equalize, and the Tropf Blumat automatically stops water flow. Essentially, water will seep through your BluSoak hose only when your plants need it, thanks to Blumat technology. For a gravity-fed system, you'll need a reservoir. See 5-gallon Reservoirs below, sold with or without thru-hulls installed. Let us know if we can help you select the right products for your custom irrigation system! Need a reservoir?

You may special request for all items to be packaged independently, but extra costs may apply.  Components This Kit Includes: 1 Blumat Standard Carrot (5") (IG14607) 4 Distribution Drippers (In-Line) (IG15557) 1 Distribution Dripper End-Piece (IG15558) 2 ft. 3mm Drip Tubing (IG16021V) 5 Universal Hold-Up Stakes (IG15924)

Build the exact Blumat irrigation kit your pots need — from 1-gallon seedling containers to 200-gallon living soil setups. Choose your sensor size, calibration type, and water distribution method. No timers, no electricity, no daily watering. Sensor Size ＋ 5" Sensor — Senses moisture at the soil surface. Best for pots under 10 gallons or shallow-rooted crops. 9" Sensor — Adjustable depth up to 9 inches. Better moisture control for larger containers and deep root zones. Calibration Type ＋ Standard — Ships as-is from Blumat. You dial in the moisture level yourself. Includes 6" of 3mm tubing (5" sensor) or 2 ft (9" sensor). Preset — Pre-calibrated at the factory for most soil and potting mix types. Just insert and go. Includes locking adjustment cap, 3mm union, adjustment key, and extra 2 ft of 3mm tubing. Distribution Method ＋ None (1–5 gal) — Sensor waters directly at the insertion point. Best for small pots. 5" Drip Ring (2–7 gal) — 4 drip points, pre-assembled. 3-Dripper Setup (5–20 gal) — 3 drippers with stakes and 3mm tubing. 10" Drip Ring (10–20 gal) — 8 drip points, pre-assembled. 5-Dripper Setup (10–30 gal) — 5 drippers with stakes and 3mm tubing. BluSoak Tape Loop (30–90 gal) — Single loop for even coverage around large containers. BluSoak Tape Double Spiral (30–90 gal) — Spiral from center outward for maximum coverage. BluSoak Tape Triple Spiral (100–200 gal) — Largest spiral layout for very big pots and beds. What's Included ＋ 1 Blumat sensor (5" or 9" based on selection) 3mm drip tubing (6" or 2 ft based on sensor size) Distribution components based on selection (drip ring, drippers, or BluSoak tape) Preset upgrade includes: locking adjustment cap, 3mm union, adjustment key, extra tubing What You'll Also Need ＋ This kit covers everything at the pot. To complete your system you’ll also need an 8mm supply line and a water source: 8mm Supply Line — runs from your water source to the sensor. See our 8mm SuperFlex Supply Line Kits. Gravity Reservoir — our complete 5-Gallon Deluxe Bucket Kit comes pre-drilled and ready to connect, or grab our 8mm Bulkhead Fittings and use any container of your choosing. Pressurized Source (hose bib or pump) — if connecting to a hose bib or pump instead of a gravity reservoir, you’ll need a Pressure Reducer to bring the pressure down to the safe Blumat operating range of 7–15 PSI. How It Works ＋ The Blumat sensor is a ceramic cone that reads soil moisture. As the soil dries, a vacuum builds inside the cone and pulls water through the drip line. When moisture is restored, the valve closes automatically. Connect your sensor to any 8mm Blumat supply line running from a gravity reservoir or pressurized source. No programming, no timers, no electricity required.
