If Blumats are once activated in water they do not stop giving water as long as the soil around them has less moisture than Blumat himself.
place container lower or higher to control the amount of outflow.
max outflow is 250/300ml/24h
min outflow is 70ml/24h
Blumat is not really a sensor...
5blumats in 1 gallon coco/soil pot and a swimmingpool of water and you can flood your house... will take long but theoretically possible
Once again, you are confusing the Jr.'s with the Tropf Blumats.
Yes, the Tropf is a sensor. Yes, it will shut completely off, so the minimum flow = zero. No, placing the container higher or lower doesn't appreciably impact the Tropf (it will self-adjust to throttle higher pressures up to a maximum of about 15 psi, but the response will get mushy when the feed pressure is too low).
This is a Tropf Blumat. Notice that it has a brown adjustment cap for varying the volume from the discharge hose, and is designed to connect to a feed line -
This is the Tropf Blumat's pinch valve (hose removed) which regulates the flow from zero to maximum -
No, the Jr. is not a sensor. No, it will not shut completely off. Yes, varying the pot elevation vs the reservoir changes the flow rate.
These are Blumat Jrs.. They have a green cap, are not adjustable at the spike, discharge directly through the ceramic spike into the media, and the feed line has a weight on it to help hold it on the bottom of a reservoir -
You guys really do need to find out what the hell you are talking about before cluttering up the thread with this bullshit.
