Description Perfect for landscapers and home gardeners. An included pressure reducer allows for you to simply connect your system to a home faucet or garden hose. This system can also be expanded to fit your specific irrigation needs up to 500 distribution drippers! This kit will easily water two 4'x8' raised beds or a large combination of plants in pots, planter boxes, landscaping, or in rows. Increase your yields and decrease grow times. Our fully-automatic, self-watering systems save time, water, and nutrients and still ensure healthier, more potent, and faster-growing crops. 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. 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 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 water source.
