Blumats require a pressure below 15 psi, and nothing above 8 psi for BluSoak tape. Blumats act as additional pressure reducers; in systems that combine Blumats and BlukSoak tape, a 15psi pressure reducer can be used (IG14606). Blumats and BluSoak both hold an ideal pressure at about 3 psi. Common, inexpensive pressure reducers are essentially flow restrictors and don't actually lower pressure unless the flow exceeds optimal Blumat system range.
Description
TRUE REDUCER - Not a mere flow controller, this brings water pressure down to 15 PSi (1 bar)! EASY TO INSTALL - Screws onto standard hose thread (3/4" input), and ouputs 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 watering systems and 8mm tubing, no tools necessary! AUSTRIAN-ENGINEERED - This high-quality component is designed and manufactured by clever Austrians! Blumat systems need low pressure, much less than comes from 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 pressures. This is a true pressure reducer, and will reduce any incoming water (with a maximum pressure input of 87PSi) down to a 15PSi (1 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 your blumats in seconds. Blumat systems need low pressure, much less than comes from 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 the Blumat 8 mm supply tube. Maximum input pressure is 87 psi.

DescriptionThis is a 15 Psi Blumat Pressure Reducer that has all of the fittings and adapters to allow you to fit this into 1/4" supply tube with 8mm on the output.Great for being able to get optimal pressure for your Blumat System, but can now be implemented into your existing 1/4" drip system so that you can get the optimal pressure from your own supply line, then lead into the 8mm tubing from that main line.

Integrate this 1/2" Blumat Pressure Reducer into the main water supply line before going into each individual room.
DescriptionThe standard Blumat pressure reducers work great for most systems. But for larger systems that need a higher flow rate, this becomes a better choice. This also works better when there's a long distance between the pressure reducer and your plants.A TRUE REDUCER - Not just a flow controller that only works with high flows, these reduce pressure in Blumat systems with extremely low flow ratesEASY TO INSTALL - Uses standard 3/4"" hose thread for both input and ouput sidesHIGH QUALITY - Built to last from ABS plastic and designed for longest life Blumat systems need constant low pressure — much less than municipal home and farm pressure. These reducers insure a constant pressure.Often, people call flow restrictors "pressure reducers" and they can reduce pressure — but only if the system has a high flow. These true pressure reducers take input an pressure up to 87 psi and drop it down to 15 psi (1 bar) output. Ideally suited for Blumat and other drip irrigation systems, lowering the pressure also prevents tubing connections from coming apart and creating a flood.

Description
Use this to restrict the flow of your system to 0.5GPH, great for BluSoak and EasySoak Systems alike.
If you use 100' of soaker hose, it will give a pint of water per foot, per 24 hours. If you use 50' of soaker hose, it will give two pint's per foot, per 24 hours. etc.
Flow Restrictor, 25' to 100' BluSoak, Assembled 8mm to 8mm, Green
Description
NOTE: This is only the inner ring of one of our flow restrictors. You may install this onto your spigot or supply line.
We also sell fully-assembled 'Blue' flow restrictors (IG16330) that can be easily attached to your system.
Flow restrictors function similarly to a pressure reducer. However, they regulate certain flow rates that should be implemented into your system.
We install flow restrictors in our BluSoak systems in order to restrict the total amount of water that can enter the system at a given time. This acts as a safety mechanism to ensure your system doesn't flood or water too rapidly in case of malfunctions.This 'Blue' version limits flow for our mega drip tape to 1 gallon/hour and should be installed when using lengths of BluSoak between 50 and 100 feet.
