Blumat Watering Systems happyhydro | Tropf Blumat Small Box Kit Starter Kit

The Tropf Blumat Small Box Kit is designed to water up to six plants or a 2.5 square meter garden. The ideal starter kit to try Tropf Blumats for yourself, and easy to upgrade later by just adding on. 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 (in 10+ gallon pots), we recommend using 9" carrots, called Tropf Blumat Maxis, to get water deep into the soil.

This Kit Includes:

• 6 Tropf Blumat carrots (5")
• 7 meters (23 feet) of 8mm tubing
• 1 tee splitter
• 1 elbow splitter
• 1 hose coupler
• 1 hose end-piece
• 1 rain barrel/gravity tank connector and installation instructions

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 Tropf Blumat Small Box Kit includes six, 5” carrots and all 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. If your reservoir does not have a thru-hull installed, you will have to drill a hole into your reservoir bucket and install a thru-hull piece. 

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 systems 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.

This Tropf Blumat Small Box Kit 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 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).
