Pot Watering Kits

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

One kit. Two ways to run Blusoak.The 10' Blusoak Loop Kit pairs a 9" Preset Blumat sensor with 10 feet of Blusoak distribution tape for large containers and compact raised beds. Shape the loop to fit your root zone—circle it around a large pot, run it in a horseshoe, or form a rectangle in a small bed.Choose your system:Gravity — White porous Blusoak tape for gravity-fed and low-pressure systems.High Pressure — Black high-pressure Blusoak tape for pressurized systems operating at 10–15 PSI.Fits: 30–90 gallon containers and raised beds up to approximately 2' × 4'.Includes: 9" Preset Blumat sensor, Blusoak tee, 10 feet of the selected Blusoak tape, and 4 stakes.The Preset Blumat senses moisture in the growing media and automatically controls water flow to the Blusoak tape. The tape then distributes that water across a larger area of the root zone, giving you flexible coverage without needing a fixed dripper layout.

Simple, automatic Blumat watering with multiple drip points. Blumat Distribution Dripper Kits pair a 9-inch Preset Blumat sensor with the original Blumat distribution drippers. The sensor responds to moisture in the growing media and automatically controls water flow. The drippers spread that water around the container for more even coverage. Choose your kit: 3 Drippers — 3 drip points for containers up to 10 gallons. 5 Drippers — 5 drip points for containers up to 30 gallons. Each kit includes: one 9-inch Preset Blumat sensor, your selected number of Blumat distribution drippers, the correct number of support stakes, and enough 3mm tubing for the selected layout. These are the original Blumat distribution drippers. They can be taken apart for cleaning and work at the low pressures used by Blumat systems. This kit includes the irrigation components at the container. The water source, 8mm supply line, and supply-line connection are sold separately.

Automatic watering for containers with a drip ring and a 9-inch Preset Blumat sensor. Choose a 5-inch or 10-inch ring. Both kits include the same 9-inch preset sensor.Choose your ring 5-inch ring: four drip points for 2–7 gallon containers. 10-inch ring: eight drip points for 10–20 gallon containers. What is included? One 9-inch Preset Blumat sensor One drip ring in the selected size 3mm tubing to connect the sensor and ring How it worksThe sensor opens water flow as the soil dries and closes it when moisture is restored. The ring distributes water around the plant. No timers or electricity are required.The 9-inch sensor can be installed at different depths to monitor moisture where you need it.What else do I need?The water source and main supply line are sold separately. Use an elevated gravity reservoir or a hose bib or pump with a suitable Blumat pressure reducer.
