Tropf-Blumat
Intelligent Watering

Settings and Checks

• Turn on the water tap and check that all the sensors are “closed”. There must be no drips coming from anywhere! If necessary, tighten the setting screw further.
• Begin with the setting at the last Tropf-Blumat in the system so that the system is vented.

1, Turn open the setting screw in anticlockwise direction until water runs out of the drip tube.

2, Close the setting screw again slowly until no more water emerges. Just one drop of water should remain on the drip tube.

3, Finally close the setting screw another 1/4 turn (2 marking arrows).

Ready!

Since the soil is moist, the Tropf-Blumat may not discharge any water. Watering does not begin until the soil is dry. Now make the setting for every single Tropf-Blumat.

CHECKS

• Check the water discharge for several days after installation. Readjust, if necessary by turning open (= more water) or close (= less water). Adjust carefully, 1/2 an arrow will usually suffice.
• Do not let a dry soil surface fool you. The water spreads out underground. In most cases, only the area under the drip tube is visibly moist.

Always leave the tap open/refill the water tank in time. Even in rainy weather. If the water supply is cut off for any length of time, the roots draw the water out of the Tropf-Blumat. A Tropf-Blumat that is not filled with water does not work!
