Coco coir + blumats, water pressure question?

[frenzybud]

Hello.. I am planning on using blumats for my next grow, 54 plants in 11 liter containers with 1 liter of hydroton in the bottom of the container and then topped of with canna coco pro +
I have ordered 54 blumats, one for each pot and tubing etc.

My question is, how much pressure does the blumats require to function properly? I hope there is someone out there with some experience with blumats.. I have a pump in stock that reads 8 m3/h @ 0,7 bar pressure, will this be sufficient?

Most tap water is somewhere around 2,0 - 3,5 bar pressure, and that's pretty much what the blumats is made to function with? Maybe I'm wrong

And, do I need to run the pump continuously or at intervals?

Help much appreciated..

No pump is needed with blumats .... its a gravity feed system ... your rez is a minimum of 3' above the sensor carrots .
but there are a ton of different rez set ups ... including pumps & storage tanks to give a constant pressure . read the thread i linked .... all the info you can ever imagine is in that thread .
