Blumat Accessories happyhydro | Tropf Blumat Medium Deluxe Gravity Kit with 5-Gallon Reservoir

The Tropf Blumat Medium Deluxe Gravity 12 Plant Kit with 5-Gallon Reservoir is designed to water areas up to 3.5 square meters, or 12 potted plants. This kit is nearly identical to our deluxe medium kit, however, it comes with a 5-gallon gravity tank with thru-hulls already installed and includes the water level indicator. This kit includes everything you need to create your very own electricity-free, gravity-fed system. Tropf Blumat systems can adjust to any plant type or desired moisture level. 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 Tropf Blumat Maxis, to get water deep into the soil.

This Kit Includes:

• 12 Tropf Blumat carrots (5")
• 7 meters (23 feet) of Superflex tubing
• 2 tee splitters
• 1 elbow splitter
• 1 hose coupler
• 1 hose end-piece
• 1 on/off valve
• 1 pipette (removes bubbles from Tropf Blumats to ensure proper function)
• 2 rain barrel/gravity tank connectors (installed)
• 1 5-gallon reservoir with thru-hulls already installed to attach to Tropf Blumat 8mm line
  
  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 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 Tropf Blumat Carrots.

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 Tropf Blumat Medium Deluxe Gravity 12 Plant Kit with 5-Gallon Reservoir is a great way to start your customized irrigation system. The flexible system can be expanded to include up to 500 drippers.

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 Tropf Blumat 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. 

Tropf Blumats Austria says "Please don't use the Tropf-Blumats 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 fix it in time (not the case if someone is on vacation).
