Set up instructions for a Blumat Gravity Powered irrigation kit

These gravity irrigation systems save time and money while producing more vigorous high yielding harvests. Great for grow rooms, small greenhouses, off-grid grows, and rainwater systems. This video shows the unboxing and complete set up for Bumat 12 Sensor Drip Irrigation Kit which can be found here:

The basic principles in this video can be used to set up any Blumat gravity kit.

What is the purpose of the T connector just after the reservoir with the tube going up to the top of the reservoir?

I am super curious how we went from 1 shut off valve installed mid line to 3 shut offs, two of which are on the feed lines and never shown being installed
...

This was a great tutorial and very helpful.
HOWEVER.... I purchased the "deluxe" 12 sensor gravity kit, and have to say im a little miffed that you didn't include the two 8mm shut off valves for the reservoir that you demonstrate using in this tutorial and your older one from a few years ago.
This is the first automated system I've ever used, so I didn't know any better to order those extra shut-off valves.
After setting the system up and going through the extra steps necessary to avoid a big flood WITHOUT said shut-off valves, it became evident those should be supplied with your kits; or at the very least you should mention that they're extremely important to have.
I only mention this so you can make this easier for your next ignorant customer that doesn't know any better!
Otherwise I'm super happy 🙂

What is the purpose of the tube that runs to the top of bucket and zip tied ?

[fudroysmith]

Undo everything you just did and put it back together?! What?

[Triangleffencex]

Love the new way you have of setting them without carrots attached, much easier

How come two lines from bucket and not one continuous?

Should be getting my system this week, thanks much!)

Just bought this after 5 min of watching.

i guess the elevated deposit gets too hot in real garden conditions in summer (we've heat waves of about 40ºc then); would have to get covered by ivy or reflecting foil w/ isolation layer below - if not, water looses too much oxygen causing a nilieu poor in oxygen in the soil for the roots ?

Ugh, maybe that's where I've been going wrong with my double manifold system. I didn't take a pipette to suck the air trapped in the caps.

[phiipichut]

So what is the pressure difference per triangle on a gravity system? I know at mains pressure it's 50 mbar - hence when you calibrate the cap at zero pressure, you have to give it two triangles to keep the soil at 100 mbar - but what's the difference per triangle on a gravity system?

This is an awesome video man! It was so good to talk to yall at the Cannacon as well in ABQ. Would love any and all videos like this for all your products like the tape and everything. Loving it!

Can you use this in hot Arizona sun at 44°C?

On/off quick connects below the res and right above each carrot make life a lot easier when things go wrong or you you need to make changes.

How many carrots should I use for a 3 gallon pot yes
