This kit provides an easy, fast, and water-saving way to water a 1 to 5 gallon 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.

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.

This Kit Includes:

• 1 Blumat Standard Carrot (5")
• 2' of 3mm drip tube
• 1 universal stake
• 1 Blumat protective cap

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.)

*Customer assembly is required.

How it Works

The Tropf Blumat self-watering system functions automatically, without the need for timers. Each Blumat is both a sensor, a valve and a dripper. As the soil dries, suction pulls open the valve within the Blumat, allowing the flow of water through the 3mm tubing. As the soil reaches the desired moisture content, the suction is released, closing the valve. Each Tropf Blumat waters completely independently. Therefore the plants are watered individually, naturally accounting for changes in the environment.

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!

*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.
