Blumat Tropf-Blumat Capillary Watering Kit – Set 12 and Set 40 without Electricity

Blumat Tropf-Blumat Capillary Irrigation Kit – Set 12 and Set 40 without Electricity

The Tropf-Blumat kit is an Austrian automatic irrigation system that works by capillary action, using porous ceramic cones buried in the growing medium. The cone allows more or less water to pass through depending on the soil moisture, so that each plant receives only what it needs. It requires no electricity, pump, or timer.

Available in two configurations: the Set 12, designed to work by gravity from a tank, and the Set 40, prepared to connect directly to the tap via a pressure reducer.

Key Features

• Capillary irrigation: the ceramic cone regulates the flow of water according to the actual moisture of the growing medium.
• No electricity: it requires no pump, power supply, or timer to operate.
• Modular system: two proprietary diameters, Ø8 mm for the supply line and Ø3 mm for the sensor feeder.
• One sensor per plant: each sensor covers an approximate irrigation radius of 20-25 cm.
• Expandable: up to 5 distributors per sensor and up to 250 sensors per pressure reducer.

What's Included?

• Set 12 – 3 m: 12 Tropf-Blumat sensors, 7 m of Ø8 mm supply tubing, and a tank connector.
• Set 40 – 10 m: 40 Tropf-Blumat sensors, 15 m of supply tubing, and a pressure reducer.

Set 12 or Set 40

The real difference between the two sets is where the water comes from.

• Set 12 (gravity + tank): includes a tank connector, so the water reaches by gravity from a barrel or tank. That tank must be at least 0.5 m above the plants (1 m is recommended) so that the system has enough pressure. It is the option for an 80×80 or 120×120 grow tent and for patios.
• Set 40 (tap + pressure reducer): includes a pressure reducer, so it connects directly to the tap and does not depend on any elevated tank. It is the option for grow rooms, greenhouses, and vegetable gardens.

How to Use

1. Place one sensor per plant, driving the ceramic cone into the growing medium.
2. Saturate the cone with water before startup.
3. Assemble the main line with the Ø8 mm tubing around the crop.
4. Connect each sensor to the main line with the Ø3 mm feeder tubing.
5. Connect the water source: tank connector (Set 12) or pressure reducer to the tap (Set 40).
6. Adjust the regulator of each sensor until you find the right irrigation point for each plant.

What Is It Compatible With?

The Tropf-Blumat system works with two proprietary diameters that are not interchangeable: the Ø8 mm is the main supply line and the Ø3 mm is the feeder that goes from the line to each sensor. Each accessory is manufactured for one of the two diameters, so when expanding the system, this distinction must always be respected. Both sets are compatible with each other and expandable with additional Tropf-Blumat sensors and accessories.
