- Description
High-Pressure BluSoak Drip Tape is a low-flow, emitter-style tape designed specifically for pressurized Blumat irrigation systems. Its 6-inch emitter spacing promotes continuous lateral wicking and even moisture distribution throughout raised beds and large containers.
Operating range: 10–15 PSI. Not compatible with gravity-fed systems.
Previously called BluSoak 3.0. The product has not changed—only the name has been simplified to make pressure compatibility clearer.
Pressure & Water Source Requirements
- Designed for 10–15 PSI
- Works with a regulated hose bib, municipal supply, or pump system
- Ideal with a 1-bar (15 PSI) reducer or adjustable pressure reducer
- Gravity pressure is not sufficient for proper operation
This product is loose tape only. A Blumat sensor, fittings, supply line, pressure reducer, and water-source connection are sold separately.
What Makes It Different
- Ultra-low flow matched to Blumat sensor operation
- 6-inch emitter spacing for consistent lateral wicking
- Stable moisture distribution across beds and large containers
- Durable, serviceable performance in pressurized systems
After extensive testing, this is the drip tape we selected for reliable high-pressure Blumat installations.
How It Performs
When operated between 10 and 15 PSI, High-Pressure BluSoak provides predictable hydration throughout the root zone:
- Even watering with fewer dry areas
- Minimal runoff when properly installed
- Consistent performance across the full tape run
- Low flow that allows the Blumat sensor to regulate moisture accurately
Available Lengths
- 10 ft
- 20 ft
- 40 ft
- 100 ft
Installation Notes
- Cut directly through an emitter, not between emitters. Cutting between emitters can interrupt the intended spacing and create an unusable section.
- Position the first emitter approximately 6 inches from the fitting.
- Fully tighten all tape fittings. Hold the fitting body with pliers or channel locks and tighten the collar securely.
- Purge the supply line and confirm full finished-system pressure before calibrating or adjusting the Blumat sensor.
- Even a small leak can reduce pressure and cause inconsistent watering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which water source should I use?
Use a hose bib or pump regulated to 10–15 PSI. Choose a Blumat-compatible 15 PSI reducer or an adjustable reducer set within that range. A 7.25 PSI reducer does not provide enough pressure.
What is sold separately?
This listing is tape only. Sensors, fittings, supply tubing, and water-source components are sold separately.
Is this the same tape as BluSoak 3.0?
Yes. BluSoak 3.0 is now High-Pressure BluSoak. The new name clarifies which water setup to use.
