Blumat Extentions?

I'm considering using spikes to water 6 plants in a tent. I wanted to have one rez oustide the tent to water all 6 plants and have all the tubes feed from that one rez.

Can I add extension to the tubing that sucks the water from the rez?

The water isn't sucked, it's gravity fed from the higher tank.

You can order the tubing, it can be extended within reason. Extend with 8mm supply line and branch off with 3mm using the proper tee fittings.

Get the patio set. I think that's the one. It comes with a pressure reducer. Get a pump and a piece of tubing to fit the reducer. This way, you don't have to gravity feed.

Pressure reducer to the blumat tubing. And then from that line you connect 6, or however many carrots you need, to your pots. It comes with Tee fittings to connect multiple lines. If your pots are big, or you want multiple drippers from one carrot, you'll need distribution drippers

I love my blumats. Laziest way to keep your soil life happy.

An accumulator is a good idea to stop the pump cycling as much and makes dialing the drippers in a lot easier when the lines are under a steady pressure.

I have some Blumats, 8 mm tubing, and misc fittings for sale if anyone is interested. All in good condition and cheap.
