Blumat Tropf Maxi, including T-Piece

Single Maxi Carrot

The Tropf-Blumat Maxi acts as a regulator and dripper, similar to the Standard 5” Tropf-Blumat, however, the main difference is the Maxi is 9 inches in length. 

How it works:

• Place it in the ground 6 - 7.5 inches so it senses the moisture at a deeper level. This is important when your plants get bigger because the regular Blumat sensor might turn the water off too soon. 

• When the plant’s soil dries, the clay of the carrot dries too. This triggers the pressure inside the carrot to drop, pulling the valve open which then allows the water through the pipe to drip. The pipe slowly saturates the soil and the clay of the carrot, causing a rise in the pressure of the carrot, closing the valve and stopping the drip. This process repeats itself automatically.

• Some growers use both the Standard and the Maxi - especially if they are growing in coco or a hydroponic system.

• The system functions fully automatically, only when the plant requires water. 

• Every plant, every container or group of plants requires at least 1 Tropf-Blumat adjusted to the individual needs of the plant. Larger containers or surfaces require longer or more than one sensor.

• All Tropf-Blumats are connected using one supply tube, this allows for flexibility in the layout and is changeable at any time. 

• There are a few options for a water source; you can either connect the system directly to your hose tap or a rain barrel. Please note: The before mentioned fittings are not supplied with this product.
