Product Description
The Tropf Blumat
The Tropf-Blumat (Tropf means drip in German) is a sensor that automatically supplies plants water through its thin tubing.
Advanced Drip
Delivers water extremely slowly, and at the plant’s own preferred rate. Allowing each plant to determine its own irrigation schedule.
Perfect Vacation Solution
Tropf Blumat soil-moisture sensors (carrots) restrict/allow water flow throughout your system based on customizable moisture levels in your beds, pots, or soil. You won't have to worry about your plants having too much or too little water ever again even while you're on vacation!
Gravity System
This specific kit comes with 12 Tropf Blumats. This kit is meant to be hooked up to a gravity system, and includes the bulkhead fitting to be hooked up to your reservoir.
The Future of Drip
Allowing each plant to determine its own irrigation schedule.
Gravity Kit
This kit includes parts to make a loop with the superflex tubin. This method equalizes water pressure and always assures partial water flow.
Blumat Kit for 10 Plants
This kit is designed to water areas up to 10 potted plants.
Get started using Blumats with our simple, low-cost Starter Kit. If you only have a few plants or you'd like to learn how Blumats work before converting over to a larger system, this kit is just right for you. This kit is made for a gravity-fed system.
This Kit Includes:
- 10 - Blumat carrots (5")
- 1 - 8mm Bulkhead fitting/Tank Connector
- 7 meters of 8mm tubing
- 1 - End Piece for Supply Tubing
How it works
Each Tropf Blumat is filled with water and voided of air prior to being connected to a pressurized line (pressure from gravity-feed is adequate). The water inside the Blumat is in a completely sealed environment. The only exposure it has is through the pores in the ceramic cone.
- As soil surrounding the cone dries
- It pulls on the moisture inside the cone through osmotic pressure. Since this is a sealed environment and the pressure cannot equalize, this pulls on a plastic diaphragm in the top of the Blumat.
- When the diaphragm is pulled down, it allows an irrigation tube running through the top of the valve of the Blumat to open and emit moisture. It does this very gradually.
- As the water is emitted through the Blumat, the moisture is gradually restored to the soil surrounding the porous ceramic.
- This relieves the pressure difference between the chamber inside the Blumat and the surrounding soil. This stops pulling on the diaphragm, and the diaphragm restores its former position of pinching the irrigation tubing shut.
- Allowing each plant to determine its own watering schedule.
*The brown knob on top of each Tropf Blumat can be individually calibrated to specific plant species, strain/cultivar/varietal, or media.
