Keep your hands off my Blumats! Protective cap prevents unintentional adjustments to the moisture level dial. Great for fending off children, pets, wild animals, or well intentioned employees.It takes some time and some skill to dial Blumats in just right. After you find the ideal soil moisture content, you adjust the valve based on growing medium, size of plants and pot, number of distribution dripper, temperatures, etc.So after finding the ideal setting, it can be very frustrating if a young child or curious co-worker comes along and plays with them, changing your settings. This protective cap will make that much less likely to happen - just snap on top of the valve dial. It comes off again but not too easily, enough to dissuade misguided tampering.

The Tropf-Blumat Maxi acts as a regulator and dripper, just like the standard 5” Tropf-Blumat. This one is 9 inches long though. You put it in the ground 6 - 7.5 inches so it senses the moisture at a deeper level. This is important when your plants get bigger because the regular Blumat sensor might turn the water off too soon. This one might turn it off too soon if your plant still has surface roots. Some growers use both - especially if they are growing in coco or a hydroponic system. The Tropf-Blumat (Drip-Blumat) is a sensor that supplies plants with drips of water via thin tubing. As the soil dries, its natural suction power triggers the opening of the Tropf Blumat allowing the water to flow. When the soil is sufficiently moist, the Tropf Blumat automatically stops. The system functions fully automatically. Every plant, every container or group of plants requires at least 1 Tropf-Blumat adjusted to the individual needs of the plant. Larger containers or surfaces require longer or more than one sensor. All Tropf-Blumats are connected using one supply tube, this allows for flexibility in the layout and is changeable at any time. Automatically waters individual plants and only when needed. There are a few options for a water source; you can either connect the system directly to your hose tap or rain barrel (with fittings not supplied with this product).

Our medium kits are designed to water areas up to 3.5 square meters, or 12 potted plants. Blumat systems can adjust to any plant type or desired moisture level. This specific kit comes with 5" carrots, which are better for smaller potted plants (10 gallons at most). If you have large plants (10+ gallon pots), we recommend using 9" carrots, or Maxis, to get water deep into the soil. Increase your yields and decrease grow times. Our fully-automatic, self-watering systems save time, water, and nutrients - and still ensure healthier, more potent, and faster-growing crops. Perfect for landscapers and home gardeners. It is easily installed with a pair of scissors and connects directly to your hose, tap or rain barrel with the help of the Pressure Reducer. 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. An optional Pressure Reducer attached to garden hose or faucet can provide enough water for up to 500 Blumat Carrots (See 'Related Products'). If your reservoir does not have a thru-hull installed, you will have to drill a hole into your reservoir bucket and install a thru-hull piece. For our customers' convenience, we also sell 5-gallon reservoirs with thru-hulls already installed. 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 system 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. PLEASE NOTE: Tropf Blumat systems do not include a Pressure Reducer or a water source. You will need a pressure reducer 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. Let us know if we can help you select the right products for your custom irrigation system! Note: This system is not designed for indoor use. Blumat Classics and bottle adapters are designed for houseplants while Tropf-Blumat Sensors (the ones with the small adjustable brown knob on top) are designed for greenhouses, grow rooms, decks, and outside gardens. 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.

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? Link to product page here. *Note: If ordering more than a quantity of two, we will pack together a sample kit with the contents of the kit, but the rest will come in bulk packaging (we do this in order to ship items out in time, rather than to delay shipments). 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)

Pots from 1-gallon seedling containers to 200-gallon living soil systems can use a Blumat irrigation kit tailored to their watering needs. Choose the sensor size, calibration type, and water-distribution method that fit each container. Designed for container irrigation from 1 to 200 gallons. Options range from a single drip point for small pots to drip rings, distribution drippers, and BluSoak layouts for larger containers. Tropf Blumat ceramic sensors automatically start and stop water flow as the root zone dries and rewets. Unlike timer-controlled irrigation, the system responds directly to plant demand, weather, and container moisture—without electricity or programming. Sensor Size ＋ 5" Sensor — Best for small pots, shallow containers, capillary mat-style setups, or situations where you specifically want shallower moisture sensing. 9" Sensor — Recommended for containers over 6" deep. The 9" sensor depth is adjustable, so it does not need to be buried all the way down. It gives more flexibility for larger containers, deeper root zones while still allowing you to place the ceramic cone at the moisture-sensing depth you want. 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 our Colorado warehouse for most soil and potting mix types. Includes a locking adjustment cap, 3mm union, adjustment key, and an additional 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. Frequently Asked Questions ＋ Which Blumat sensor should I choose? Choose a 5" sensor for shallow pots or when you want to monitor moisture nearer the surface. Choose a 9" sensor for deeper containers and larger root zones. Which distribution method fits my pot? Use a single drip point for small pots, a drip ring or distribution drippers for medium containers, and a BluSoak layout for large living soil pots. The gallon ranges listed with each option provide a practical starting point. Can this system run from gravity or pressure? Yes. Blumat irrigation for pots can run from a properly elevated gravity reservoir or a pressurized hose bib or pump fitted with a Blumat-compatible pressure reducer. What is sold separately? The main 8mm supply line and water-source components are sold separately. Build a complete irrigation system · Preset Blumat setup instructions

Measure soil moisture tension directly in the root zone with the Blumat Digital Moisture Meter. Designed for potting mixes, containers, raised beds, and living soil, this digital tensiometer reads in millibars (mbar) so you can compare moisture conditions, check drybacks, and verify irrigation performance with real data. New to soil moisture tension? Read our Measuring & Managing Moisture in Living Soil to learn what mbar readings mean, how soil moisture tension differs from volumetric water content (VWC), and how sensor placement affects what you measure. Available Options ＋ Meter Only — Base unit for direct soil moisture tension readings. Meter + Protective Cap — Adds protection for the electronic meter head. Meter + Protective Cap + Battery — Includes a spare CR2032 3-volt battery. Complete Kit (Meter + Cap + Battery + Coring Tool) — Includes the Blumat Coring Tool (1" wide, 11"+ long) for clean installation with minimal soil disturbance. How It Works ＋ The ceramic cone equilibrates with the surrounding soil and the meter displays soil moisture tension in millibars (mbar). Lower numbers indicate wetter conditions; the reading rises as the soil dries and water becomes harder for roots to extract. After installation, allow about 30 minutes for a useful initial reading. Full equilibration can take longer. Once the meter is conditioned, moving it between beds or containers with similar moisture levels can provide a useful comparison within several minutes. Use the meter to establish repeatable wet and dry reference points, check moisture at root depth, compare different locations in a bed, or verify and fine-tune a Blumat irrigation system. Important Notes ＋ The electronic meter head is water-resistant, not waterproof. Do not submerge it or expose it to standing water. The protective cap should not be seated directly into soil. Trapped humidity can damage the meter head. For best comparisons, pay attention to installation depth, soil contact, and location in the root zone. Reset instructions are available here.

Description These are great for watering long plant beds, planter boxes, and giving large plants an even amount of water in a circle around them. They connect to a Tropf-Blumat or a Maxi.This is less expensive than adding more sensors but you may need to add a filter to your system if you use nutrients in your water so they don't clog.  Two barbs let you connect tubing on both sides of the dripper for up to five drip locations from one Tropf-Blumat (dripper chain). The end-distributor dripper has a drip nozzle on one side only for use as the end piece in a dripper chain. You can go as far as 100 cm (39") from the sensor with these and they water about 20 cm wide (8"). Minimum pressure to use them like this is 4.5 psi. You can go down as low as 2 psi but the last dripper or two might not put out much water. By adjusting the black screw on the top, you can use more. In pressure systems, customers report successfully using as many as 25 with just one Blumat sensor.

When coupled together with Blumat carrots, BluSoak hose only delivers water to your veggies when they need it, which promotes exponential growth and impressive yields. You can also leave your BluSoak tape under your garden all winter, no problem. Water source needs to be 6-10' 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.) 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?

The Preset Tropf Blumat is a hand-calibrated sensor that takes the guesswork out of Blumat setup. No soil calibration required — just insert, set to your pressure range, and grow. Available in 5", 9", and Watering Head Only. Sensor Options ＋ 5" Preset Blumat — Best for small containers under 5 gallons, shallow-rooted plants, or capillary mat systems. 9" Preset Blumat — Best for larger pots and beds where you want to target root-zone moisture. Adjustable from surface level to 9" deep. Watering Head Only — Already have Blumat sensors? Swap just the head for the preset version. Includes a union for easy connection without replacing tubing. How Preset Calibration Works ＋ Each sensor is hand-marked in our Colorado warehouse with two color-coded reference points on the adjustment dial: Gold — for low-pressure systems like gravity setups Silver — for high-pressure systems like hose bibs or pump kits For medium-pressure systems, adjust between the two marks. The sensor is still fully adjustable at any time using the included adjustment key through the top access port. What's Included ＋ Preset Blumat sensor (5", 9", or head only based on selection) Hand-marked adjustment dial with gold and silver reference points Protective cap to prevent accidental adjustments Adjustment key 3mm union for easy install and repositioning
