Build Your Own Blumat Watering System

关于

Step 1 - Add one "watering set" for every pot in your system. For larger pots you get extra drippers in your watering set to evenly water the whole pot. Step 2 - Blumats can be powered with your hose spigot or by gravity with a reservoir. Here are your options: 5 Gal Reservoir w/ Lid & Fittings - This pre-built reservoir already has the connectors attached for the easiest and quickest setup. Keep your reservoir at least 3 feet above your plants for optimal pressure. Water Reservoir Tank Connectors - Use for your own rain barrel or water storage tank. Almost any BPA free bucket, bin, or tote will work. Keep your reservoir at least 3 feet above your plants for optimal pressure. Hose Spigot Pressure Reducer - If you use a hose spigot you'll need this Blumat Pressure Reducer. It will lower the pressure down to 15 psi in your system which the Blumats require to function properly. **We do not recommend using a hose spigot system indoors. Step 3 - Supply Tubing Options: Grab a 23ft or 25ft roll for up to 12 plants. We recommend about 1 foot per extra plant. If your reservoir or hose spigot is far away add extra as needed. Standard Supply Line: A great budget friendly option available in 23' rolls. Sometimes it's hard to get fittings off (tip - let it sit in the sun or soak in hot water beforehand). Superflex Supply Line: Made of silicone and very flexible. Fittings are easy to apply and remove. You can bend it loosely around corners in your system for a customizable shape. Available in 25' rolls and by the foot. Step 4 - Choose one of our Fittings Sets to finish building your automatic watering garden: There are also extra fittings available for a truly unique design layout! Step 5 - Add Optional Upgrades Here are some optional upgrades to enhance your experience with Blumats and your plants: The Moisture Meter is great but not waterproof at the digital top so if you plan on leaving it outside, grab the cap too! Quick Connect On/Off Valves make moving plants a breeze.
