Blumat Watering Systems happyhydro | Tropf Blumat Medium Deluxe Gravity Kit

The Tropf Blumat Medium Deluxe Gravity Kit is designed for automatic irrigation for areas up to 3.5 square meters, or 12 potted plants. As an upgrade from the popular standard medium kit, our deluxe kit includes parts to make a continuous loop, which equalizes water pressure and always assures partial water flow—even if some of the tubing gets clogged, kinked or blocked. This kit is meant to be hooked up to a gravity system, and includes the bulkhead fitting to be hooked up to your reservoir. It also includes a pipette and a valve to let out air bubbles and sediment. This specific kit comes with 5" carrots which are better for smaller potted plants (10 gallons at most). If you have large plants (10+ gallon pots), we recommend using 9" carrots, known as Blumat Maxis, to get water deep into the soil.

This Kit Includes:

• 12 Blumat carrots (5")
  
• 7 meters (23 feet) of Superflex tubing
• 3 Blumat tees (8mm-to-3mm)
• 2 Blumat tees (8mm)
• 1 elbow splitter
• 1 hose coupler
• 1 hose end-piece
• 2 rain barrel/gravity tank connectors and installation instructions
• 1 shut-off valve
• 1 plastic pipette (removes bubbles from Blumats to ensure proper function)

Increase your yields and decrease grow times. Our fully-automatic, self-watering systems save time, water, and nutrients —while ensuring 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 hose, tap or rain barrel with the help of the Pressure Reducer. 

The Blumat Medium Deluxe Gravity Kit includes twelve, 5” carrots and all the parts required for a gravity-fed system. Reservoirs should be at least 3' above ground-level. If your reservoir does not have a thru-hull installed, you will have to drill a hole into your reservoir bucket and install the two thru-hall connectors included for a full loop system.

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.

The Blumat Medium Deluxe Gravity Kit is a great way to start your customized irrigation system.

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 Tropf 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 system does 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.

This system does not include a reservoir or water source. You can use your own or a 5 gallon bucket.

Tropf Blumat Austria says "Please don't use the Tropf Blumat indoors" because if hooked up to a constant water source and a pet, guest, or user-error somehow causes a run-away, it could damage your home. We, and many others, do in fact use these systems inside ourselves, however, we are generally around enough that if a problem did occur, we would be able to notice a problem and fix it in time (not the case if someone is on vacation).
