Description UNIVERSAL: Convert rain barrels, water tanks, or any other container into a Blumat reservoir SIMPLE: Drill a hole (using 1/2" bit) into your container, and install the nipple facing outward 8MM OUTPUT: Integrate directly to 8mm flex line or other Blumat-compatible water supply tubing DURABLE: Built to last by the same company bringing you Blumat watering stakes FLEX-COMPATIBLE: Ideally suited for the flex tubing included with most Blumat systems Connect a Blumat system to a rain barrel or water storage tank. Just screw half on the inside of the tank, the other on the outside. The nipple connects to the standard 8mm Blumat water supply/feed line. You can either start with one of these bulkheads, or a Blumat Pressure Reducer, either of these fittings will "start" your Blumat watering system. Use 1/2" drill bit to puncture hole. These bulkheads will work flawlessly with your Blumat. They are easy to install, durable, perfectly fitted for other Blumat equipment, and can instantly turn any container of your choice into a perfect Blumat reservoir. These can also be used with drip irrigation lines and many other kinds of irrigation equipment. As long as you have 8mm tubing to attach to the nipple this bulkhead will do the trick. We use these on rain barrels, 5-gallon buckets, plastic totes, 55-gallon drums, and every other water vessel/container that you could imagine! After installing one or two, you'll be ready to run your Blumat system. To attach 8mm Blumat water supply line to a rain barrel or water storage tank. This is your classic bulkhead fitting, made in Austria, high quality and efficient for a Blumat system. Bulkhead fittings allow you to penetrate through a wall or barrier, while allowing passage within the fitting. This allow you to tap into a tank of water, while allowing water to pass-through the bulkhead fitting, and into a water supply line. We have these pre-drilled into our 5-gal bucket reservoir, see related products below. Have your own reservoir? No problem, simply drill 1/2" holes into your own water tank and convert it into a Blumat Reservoir. We have even higher quality bullhead fittings, some that stop water flow when disconnected. Check out our bulkhead fittings category. This is the bulk version of this item, so doesn't come with packaging for stores (makes it less-expensive for your convenience). *Reservoir not included, look into Blumat Reservoir or 5-gal bucket if you need a reservoir

A true pressure reducer — not a flow controller. Drops incoming water pressure down to 15 PSI (1 bar), the safe operating range for all Tropf Blumat sensors and BluSoak systems. Screws onto any standard 3/4" hose bib and outputs directly to 8mm Blumat supply tubing. Key Features ＋ True pressure reducer — actually lowers system pressure, not just flow rate Fixed output of 15 PSI (1 bar) — the ideal operating pressure for Blumat systems Maximum input pressure of 87 PSI 3/4" female hose thread input — connects to any standard hose bib or faucet 8mm barb output — connects directly to Blumat supply tubing, no tools needed Made from ABS plastic, Austrian-engineered, designed for long-term reliability Why a True Reducer Matters ＋ Many products sold as pressure reducers are actually flow controllers — they restrict flow but don't lower actual system pressure. Reduced flow does not equal reduced pressure. This is a genuine pressure reducer that brings any incoming supply down to a safe 15 PSI output regardless of flow. Running Blumat sensors above 15 PSI risks pushing tubing connections apart and flooding. This is the component that prevents that.

Description True reducer - Not a mere flow controller, this brings water pressure down to 7.25 psi (0.5 bar)! Easy to install - Screws onto standard hose thread (3/4" input), and outputs 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 water systems and 8mm tubing, no tools necessary! Austria-engineered - This is high-quality component and is designed and manufactured by clever Austrians! Blumat systems need low pressure, much less than comes from a 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 pressure. This is a true pressure reducer, and will reduce any incoming water (with a maximum pressure input of 87 psi) down to 7.25i (0.5 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 blumats in seconds. Blumat systems need low pressure, much less than comes from a 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 a Blumat 8mm supply tube. Maximum input pressure is 87 psi.

The 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. In gravity systems, you don't need a reducer unless you have a storage tank high up a hill, 35' or more vertical.

Assemble parts as pictured in the instruction diagram. Connect to a valve on a pump kit or to a hose bib using the provided ¾" swivel adapter. Using the provided fittings, connect to your Blumat system supply line. Open the incoming water to check current system pressure. Recommended ranges: Drip rings — 12–15 PSI BluSoak — 7–10 PSI To adjust pressure: turn off incoming water, release system pressure by opening a valve on the Blumat supply line until the gauge reads 0, then turn the black adjustment collar (tighten for more pressure, loosen for less). Close the Blumat supply line valve and open incoming water to re-pressurize. Check the gauge. If not in range, repeat steps 6–7 until correct.

The ultimate upgrade for a Blumat system. The Mini Pump Kit converts your gravity-fed setup into a pressurized irrigation system — faster sensor response, more consistent moisture levels, and the freedom to run a large reservoir on the ground without elevation. Once you run Blumat on pressure, it's very hard to go back. Why Pressure Changes Everything ＋ Blumat systems are pressure-sensitive. Gravity setups can work well, but they often introduce slow response times and small inconsistencies. When you switch to pressure, the entire system tightens up: Faster sensor response to soil moisture changes Adjustments show results much more quickly More consistent moisture levels across your grow More reliable overall system performance What's Included ＋ Mini pump Expansion / pressure tank Adjustable pressure reducer with integrated gauge Inline filter Bulkhead fitting for reservoir connection All tubing and hardware to connect to your reservoir Adapter for 8mm tubing or 1/2" black poly via Perma-Loc fitting System Size & Capacity ＋ Ideal for small tents and home grows Scales to multi-tent setups Rated for up to approximately 50 gallons per day Suitable for larger rooms when properly designed Frequently Asked Questions ＋ Do I need a pump for a small Blumat system?No — but even small systems benefit from faster response and more consistent performance when running on pressure. Can I use a larger reservoir with this system?Yes. One of the biggest advantages is being able to run a large reservoir on the ground instead of elevating it. What's the benefit of switching from gravity to pressure?Faster sensor response, more stable moisture levels, better system control, and reduced maintenance.

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.

The reservoir comes with one bulkhead fitting. *If you are looking for a closed loop system please take a look at our medium deluxe kit. 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 reservoir. 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 (Search 'pressure reducer'). 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. 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 the soil is sufficiently moist, pressures equalize, and the Tropf Blumat automatically stops taking in water. Each Blumat Outdoor Sensor in the Deck and Planter Set covers an area 12 inches in diameter. To expand and customize your own system, add additional Supply Hoses,Outdoor Sensors, and Distributor Drippers. PLEASE NOTE: This Tropf Blumat systems do not include a Pressure Reducer. You will need this 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.
