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. This kit includes forty, 5” carrots and all the parts required for a gravity-fed system. Reservoirs should be at least 3' above ground-level.
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 XL Gravity 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 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).
