This page covers all Blumat water source options, including gravity-fed reservoirs, pressurized hose bib connections, and pump-driven systems. Browse bucket kits, bulkheads, pressure reducers, and pump kits below to build the right water source for any setup.
This a pressure reducer used for if you need a higher pressure due to having a longer distance going from your hose bib to your plants, or if your water supply is going up so you need a little extra pressure to bring it up vertically. Blumat systems need low pressure, much less than comes from normal house water connections. Some of our kits include a pressure reducer 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. For BluSoak Systems, use a our 0.5bar Pressure Reducer (7psi) as our BluSoak doesn't like pressure over 10psi and can even split. Or use one of these and a flow restrictor alternatively.

Want to use Dosatron products with Blumats? No problem! Inspired by our friends out in Oregon at High Wind Farms we built this kit. Blumat systems generally operate at very low flow rates. This is an advantage over other watering systems for many reasons. However, low flow rates prevent the use of dosing systems like a Dosatron because they have minimum flow rate requirements to operate properly. By placing the Dosatron between a high flow pump and a pressure accumulator tank, the issue is solved.The pressure switch on the pump turns itself on and off as pressure levels in the accumulator tank drop. This creates bursts of high flow through the Dosatron at appropriate flow rate levels. The tank fills with nutrient mix and feeds itself through a pressure reducer into the Blumat system, maintaining constant pressure. Nutrient solution is then available to plants as they need it, 24 hours per day.

Description To attach 8 mm 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 even higher quality bullhead fittings, some that stop water flow when disconnected. Check out our bulkhead fittings category. This particular product comes with packaging, or a blisterpack, that's perfect for storage, hanging, or display. Ideal for stores.

Description High quality, easy to use bulkhead fittings that automatically stop the water when a line is disconnected. Just a quick twist connects or disconnects supply tubing. These are a little expensive but pay for themselves quickly if you need to change lines frequently. Great for flushing by letting you quickly change from a reservoir with nutrients to one with just water. Also very helpful if you use different nutrients at different times. We also have adapters so you can connect these to 3mm or 1/4" line.Use a 5/8" drill bit to install these into any container of your choice.
