This kit provides an easy, fast, and water-saving way to water a 4' by 8' bed, either raised or in your garden. No timers, batteries, or electricity required! BluSoak tape allows for even water distribution throughout the entire bed, as the entire length of BluSoak drip tape releases water. When coupled together with Blumat carrots, BluSoak hose only delivers water to your plants when they need it, which promotes exponential growth and impressive yields. You can also leave your BluSoak tape under your garden all winter, no problem. Water source needs to be above the garden for a gravity system. For a pressure system running off a faucet or garden hose, simply add a Blumat Pressure Reducer.
This Kit Includes:
- 28 feet of BluSoak 2.0 Drip Tape
- 4 x Blumat 8mm Elbow
- 4 x Blumat 8mm Tee
- 1 x Maxi Long Sensor
- 1 x Standard 5" Sensor
- 8 x BluSoak to 8mm Adapter
- 2 x Blumat 8mm to 3mm Reducing Tee
- 8 feet of 8mm Super-flex Tubing
- 6 feet of 3mm Drip Tube
What You Might Need (Not included in kit):
- Connection to your water source (either thru-hull bulkhead fitting for gravity systems, a pressure reducer, or a Blumat pump for larger systems)
- 8mm Supply tube to connect your water source to your Blumats
- Additional Hold-Down stakes or 3mm tubing
- Fittings (tee's, elbows, couplers, etc.)
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 your soil is sufficiently moist, pressures equalize, and the Tropf Blumat automatically stops water flow. Essentially, water will seep through your BluSoak hose only when your plants need it, thanks to Blumat technology.
