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.
Pressure and Flow Reducers
Flow Restrictor, 50' to 200' BluSoak, Assembled 8mm to 8mm, Blue
Description Use this to restrict the flow of your system to 1GPH, great for BluSoak and EasySoak Systems alike. If you use 200' of soaker hose, it will give a pint of water per foot, per 24 hours. If you use 100' of soaker hose, it will give two pint's per foot, per 24 hours, etc. Flow Restrictor, 50' to 100' BluSoak, Assembled 8mm to 8mm, Blue

Flow Controller Circle Ring - Red (up to 200' of BluSoak)
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 'Red' flow restrictors (IG16331) 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 'Red' version limits flow for our mega drip tape to 2 gallons/hour and should be installed when using lengths of BluSoak between 100 to 200 feet.

Pressure Reducer, 25 psi, 3/4" FHT x 3/4" FPT
Description This is the typical flow restrictor mis-named pressure reducer. They do reduce pressure but only if the flow range is at least 2 GPM. They work well in our EasyDrip and EasySoak systems but not in normal Blumat or BluSoak set-ups. They need at least 20 psi on the input side but not more than 120 psi.

Flow Controller Circle Ring - Black (up to 750' of BluSoak)
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 'Black' flow restrictors (IG16374) 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 'Black' version limits flow for our mega drip tape to 9.0 gallons/hour and should be installed when using lengths of BluSoak between 200 to 750 feet.

Flow Controller 8mm to 8mm, Up to 200'-750' of BluSoak, Silver
Description This is an assembled flow restrictor unit that can fit into a a 8mm supply line. Flow controllers work similar to a pressure reducer, but instead limit the certain flow rate that can be entered into a system. We use Flow controllers in our BluSoak systems in order to limit the total amount of water that can enter the system, this acts as a safety mechanism to make sure you do not flood your system too rapidly in case of any errors. This particular product limits the flow of our mega drip tape to 0.15GPM per min, and should be used when using lengths of BluSoak between 200 to 750 feet.

Flow Controller 8mm to 8mm, Up to 1500'-2500' of BluSoak, Gold
Description This is an assembled flow restrictor unit that can fit into an 8mm supply line. Flow controllers work similar to a pressure reducer, but instead limit the certain flow rate that can be entered into a system. We use Flow controllers in our BluSoak systems in order to limit the total amount of water that can enter the system, this acts as a safety mechanism to make sure you do not flood your system too rapidly in case of any errors. This particular product limits the flow of our mega drip tape to 0.5GPM per min, and should be used when using lengths of BluSoak between 1500 to 2500 feet.
