Blumat Tropf 3mm Drip Tubing

Blumat Tropf 3mm Drip Tubing comes in a 10 meter roll and is used as the drip hose between the 8mm water supply tubing and the Blumat Tropf clay cone sensors when building a customized automatic watering system with Blumat components. The Blumat Tropf system works by using gravity and the capillary interaction between the soil and the orange Blumat clay “carrot” cones. When the soil or substrate is dry, it will create a suction inside the water filled cone tubes – opening the diaphragm at the top of the carrot and allowing water to drip from the tubing. Once the soil around the clay cone becomes moist, this suction will cease and close the diaphragm again. This allows for each individual pot to be watered automatically only when needed, and a single Tropf system can have up to 500* watering points ! The “carrot” does the thinking for you ! Please note: The water tank must be at least 0.5 m higher than the Blumat Tropf system for every 5 m of tube but no more than 14 metres higher.
