Blumat 5 Gallon Pot Kit - Mid-Range
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 3 additional distribution drippers in order to drip onto three 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.) 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") (IG17188) 2 Distribution Drippers (in-line) (IG15565) 1 Distribution Dripper End-Piece (IG15558) 1 foot of 3mm drip tube (IG15473V) 3 Universal Hold-Up Stakes (IG16789) *Customer assembly is required.

Water Reservoir - 5-Gallon Bucket w/ Lid & Bulkhead Fittings for Blumat systems
Blumat-ready - This 5 gallon water tank comes ready with bulkheads/spigots for 8mm Blumat tubing! High quality - These buckets are made of HDPE food-grade plastic, and are assembled in the USA! Black/opaque - Designed to keep light out, these water reservoir tank(s) discourage algae growth! Ideal horticulture application - Will work for hydroponic bucket(s) or other gardening uses! Bucket with spigot(s) - Pre-installed, no tools required to get this reservoir working for your plants! Bulkheads are installed with nipples facing inward for shipping only. The bulkheads/spigots should be flipped around so that the nipples face outward for garden, horticultural, and hydroponic applications. These will work as reservoirs for Blumat watering systems, can work in hydroponic bucket system(s), can replace hydroponic reservoir(s), and are essentially kits for water barrels with spigots! You certainly don't need to be DIY-friendly to use these buckets, as we do the work requiring elbow grease and tools to get the bulkheads installed. These will deliver water wherever you take your tubing! The bulkheads perfectly integrate to 8mm tubing. We would highly recommend our ultra-high quality and durable silicone super-flex tubing. This can be installed onto this bucket - no tools required! It just slips over the nipples/barbs on the bulkheads that are pre-installed in the container. This 8mm tubing is the ideal size for Blumats, and will slip right over the barbs on the 8mm x 3mm x 8mm Tees (included with each Tropf Blumat). This bucket is really like hitting the "easy button" for Blumat systems, hydroponic watering systems, backyard gardening applications, or just about any other application that you require a 5-gallon reservoir for. This is really like a water barrel spigot kit that has already been configured and assembled for you! 5 Gallon Reservoir with two thru-hulls and lid. The two thru-hull fittings are installed backwards for shipment. When you receive your reservoir simply unscrew and flip the fittings. Grow plants anywhere! Just attach your Blumat 8mm line, fill with water, and almost instantly your plants are taken care of. This includes two installed Blumat adapters and a black lid. They have two connectors to make it easy to set up a "Blumat Loop" system. With these the water goes from 2 directions effectively giving you twice the capacity. It also equalizes the pressure and is a kind of "insurance policy" - if your line gets kinked, something clogs it up, or someone accidentally puts something heavy on it, all the plants will still get water. These are made from recyclable (#2) HDPE plastic called "the only safe plastic for drinking water" so you don't need to worry about anything bad going to your plants. The black color prevents algae and other nasties from growing in your water and also makes the water going to the roots hotter - a little known secret for superior plant growth.

Blumat Digital Moisture Meter Kits
Instant, accurate soil moisture readings purpose-built for potting mix and living soil. No calibration, no guesswork — just reliable data so you know exactly when to water and when to hold off. Available Options ＋ Meter Only — Base unit for reliable soil moisture readings. Meter + Protective Cap — Adds UV and moisture protection for outdoor use. Meter + Protective Cap + Battery — Includes a spare CR2032 3-volt battery.

Use it to dial in your Blumat sensors, check moisture before watering, or track drybacks between feeds. Purpose-built for container growing — not field soil. Gives consistent, repeatable readings that cheap probes and finger tests can't match. Important Notes ＋ The top of the meter is not waterproof — do not submerge or expose to standing water. The protective cap should not be seated directly into soil — trapped humidity can damage the sensor. Reset instructions available here.

Blumat 5-Pack Starter Kit - Automatic Watering Irrigation System for up to 5 Plants
Get started using Blumats with our simple, low-cost Starter Kit. If you only have a few plants or you'd like to learn how Blumats work before converting over to a larger system, this kit is just right for you. This kit is made for a gravity-fed system (does not include fittings to attach to a hose bib or pressure system). 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.

Surface Mounting Blumat
For more information regarding Capillary Mats, click here. At first glance, these may seem expensive. If you're using them as intended though - in trays with capillary mats, they're totally worth it. This is a growing system popular in Europe that's only slowly making its way into the USA. These fit on top of a capillary mat with perforated black foil on top of that to prevent algae and other things from growing. The surface blumat turns water on and off that spreads moisture through the felt and soaks up from the bottom. It works great with fabric pots and plastic ones with a flat bottom and extra holes drilled in, but not plastic pots with a big lip - the mat needs to be touching the bottom of the pot. Good for pots up to 2 gallon and larger for plants with deep but not surface roots. In a 5 gallon pot, the moisture will only go up about half way, so with that size it's better to use a regular Blumat sensor. One of these plus distribution drippers will supply enough water for 5 square meters of tray. The electronic version can supply enough for thousands of plants as long as the surface is flat (use a level to make sure). Capillary Mat NOT INCLUDED
$47.52
Preset Tropf Blumat
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

Capillary Mat 4' wide - per foot
Description Use this capillary mat in the center with a top or perforated foil on the top and some regular plastic sheeting under it. Cut to any size, quickly make 4x8, 4x10, or 4x5' sets. In trays under houseplants it evens out the moisture and encourages roots to grow down instad in a spiral. In seed starting trays it helps keep the seeds and seedlings from getting either to dry to to wet. You can supply the water manually, with a Surface Blumat, or with a preset Blumat in one of the pots on the mat. specs• Lightweight, high-strength, polypropylene, polyester, viscose material • Resists rotting, shrinking, chemical decomposition and being crushed • Reversible and will not fray after cutting • Highly absorbent, permits water to quickly wick to roots • Mat thickness is 1.0 mm • Capillary lift is 8.0 cm

Gravity Reservoir — our complete 5-Gallon Deluxe Bucket Kit, or use our 8mm Bulkhead Fittings with any container of your choosing. Pressurized Source (hose bib or pump) — requires a Pressure Reducer to bring pressure down to the safe Blumat range of 7–15 PSI. How It Works ＋ The Blumat sensor reads soil moisture and controls water flow through the BluSoak drip tape. As the bed dries, the sensor opens and water flows. When moisture is restored, it closes automatically. No timers, no electricity, no programming. Works with both gravity and pressurized water sources.
