Blumat Irrigation for Pots

• 5" Sensor — Best for small pots, shallow containers, capillary mat-style setups, or situations where you specifically want shallower moisture sensing.
• 9" Sensor — Recommended for containers over 6" deep. The 9" sensor depth is adjustable, so it does not need to be buried all the way down. It gives more flexibility for larger containers, deeper root zones while still allowing you to place the ceramic cone at the moisture-sensing depth you want.

• Standard — Ships as-is from Blumat. You dial in the moisture level yourself. Includes 6" of 3mm tubing (5" sensor) or 2 ft (9" sensor).
• Preset — Pre-calibrated at our Colorado warehouse for most soil and potting mix types. Includes a locking adjustment cap, 3mm union, adjustment key, and an additional 2 ft of 3mm tubing.

• None (1–5 gal) — Sensor waters directly at the insertion point. Best for small pots.
• 5" Drip Ring (2–7 gal) — 4 drip points, pre-assembled.
• 3-Dripper Setup (5–20 gal) — 3 drippers with stakes and 3mm tubing.
• 10" Drip Ring (10–20 gal) — 8 drip points, pre-assembled.
• 5-Dripper Setup (10–30 gal) — 5 drippers with stakes and 3mm tubing.
• BluSoak Tape Loop (30–90 gal) — Single loop for even coverage around large containers.
• BluSoak Tape Double Spiral (30–90 gal) — Spiral from center outward for maximum coverage.
• BluSoak Tape Triple Spiral (100–200 gal) — Largest spiral layout for very big pots and beds.

• 1 Blumat sensor (5" or 9" based on selection)
• 3mm drip tubing (6" or 2 ft based on sensor size)
• Distribution components based on selection (drip ring, drippers, or BluSoak tape)
• Preset upgrade includes: locking adjustment cap, 3mm union, adjustment key, extra tubing

This kit covers everything at the pot. To complete your system you’ll also need an 8mm supply line and a water source:

• 8mm Supply Line — runs from your water source to the sensor. See our 8mm SuperFlex Supply Line Kits.
• Gravity Reservoir — our complete 5-Gallon Deluxe Bucket Kit comes pre-drilled and ready to connect, or grab our 8mm Bulkhead Fittings and use any container of your choosing.
• Pressurized Source (hose bib or pump) — if connecting to a hose bib or pump instead of a gravity reservoir, you’ll need a Pressure Reducer to bring the pressure down to the safe Blumat operating range of 7–15 PSI.

The Blumat sensor is a ceramic cone that reads soil moisture. As the soil dries, a vacuum builds inside the cone and pulls water through the drip line. When moisture is restored, the valve closes automatically.

Connect your sensor to any 8mm Blumat supply line running from a gravity reservoir or pressurized source. No programming, no timers, no electricity required.

Which Blumat sensor should I choose?

Choose a 5" sensor for shallow pots or when you want to monitor moisture nearer the surface. Choose a 9" sensor for deeper containers and larger root zones.

Which distribution method fits my pot?

Use a single drip point for small pots, a drip ring or distribution drippers for medium containers, and a BluSoak layout for large living soil pots. The gallon ranges listed with each option provide a practical starting point.

Can this system run from gravity or pressure?

Yes. Blumat irrigation for pots can run from a properly elevated gravity reservoir or a pressurized hose bib or pump fitted with a Blumat-compatible pressure reducer.

What is sold separately?

The main 8mm supply line and water-source components are sold separately.
