official Blumat USA Distributor
Inline pressure reducer that drops tap or hose pressure down to the 15 PSI Blumat sensors need to operate. Connects to a standard garden hose thread on one end and 8 mm feeding tube on the other.
Screw the threaded end onto your tap, hose, or hose-end timer. Push the 8 mm feeding tube onto the outlet barb. Open the tap fully — the reducer handles the rest, keeping pressure constant at the level Blumat sensors need to function safely.
One Blumat pressure reducer with a standard garden hose thread connection and an 8 mm push-fit outlet for Blumat feeding tube.
Required for any Blumat Drip system fed from a tap, garden hose, or pressurized water line. Not needed if you're feeding your system from a gravity-fed reservoir or rain barrel — those run at low enough pressure on their own.
Orders ship free over $25 in 2-5 days in the continental USA. 30-day easy returns, no questions asked.
Covered by the official Blumat 3-year warranty from the date of purchase. If something does not perform as expected email help@blumatdrip.com.

Installation Guide
How to Set Up Your System
Takes just a few minutes. Once set up, your plants water themselves.
Step 1
Connect to Your Tap
Screw the threaded end onto your garden hose, faucet, or hose-end timer. Hand-tight is usually enough — no wrench required.
Step 2
Secure the Feeding Tube
Slide the nut onto the 8 mm feeding tube first, then push the tube fully onto the outlet barb. Thread the nut down over the barb and tighten it by hand to lock the tube in place.
Step 3
Open the Tap Fully
Turn the water on all the way. The reducer is built to handle full tap pressure on the inlet — don't half-open the tap trying to help it right now.
Step 4
Check the System
Run water through to your sensors and confirm steady flow. The reducer holds output pressure constant, so what works now will keep working.
Important setup note
Pressure reducers are only required for tap-fed and hose-fed Blumat systems. If you're feeding from a gravity reservoir, rain barrel, or any non-pressurized source, use a tank connector instead — those run at low enough pressure naturally.
First-run check
Open the tap fully and inspect every connection along the line — at the reducer, at any fittings, and at each sensor. Pressure reducers hold output pressure constant once they're working, so if your system is leak-free after the first hour, it'll stay that way.

Smart Watering System
How the system works
Water flows only when your plants need it—and stops when they don't.
Tap Pressure Is Too High
Your household water runs at 40 to 80 PSI which is too high for Blumat Drip Systems. Blumat sensors are built for 10-15 PSI.
The Reducer Pushes Back
Inside the housing, a spring-loaded piston pushes against incoming water. When pressure rises above 15 PSI, the internal diaphragm stabalizes pressure.
Every Sensor Operates in Spec
The line downstream stays at 15 PSI no matter what your tap is doing. Sensors, fittings, and tubing all work exactly as they were designed to and water consistently.

Quiet, Constant, Low Profile
A small tan housing that sits between your tap and your tubing. Once installed, it disappears into the system — no light, no sound, no moving parts you'd ever notice.
Set It Once, Forget the Pressure
No knobs, no calibration, no settings to adjust. The reducer holds output pressure constant from install day forward — your only job is connecting it.
The Heart of Your System
Sensors deliver the water, fittings get the routing, tubing carries the water, but none of it works without the reducer quietly doing its job at the start of the line.
A True Pressure Reducer
Many products labeled "pressure reducer" are actually flow controllers — less water comes out but they don't reduce the actual force (PSI). This one is the real thing. Tap pressure in, 15 PSI out, every time.
Works With Any Pressurized Source
Outdoor hose bibb, indoor faucet, well system, or even a pressurized reservoir with a small booster pump. As long as input stays below 87 PSI, the reducer handles it.
Solid ABS Construction
No fragile internals, no electronics, no moving parts to wear out. The reducer is built to keep doing its job for as long as you keep the system running.
You Forget to Water
Keeps moisture levels more consistent, helping protect plants from drying out between waterings.
You Travel Frequently
No more worrying if your plants are being watered while you're away. Relax and enjoy.

"Set it and forget it"
Set this up in about 15 minutes and my tomatoes have never looked better. It really does water only when they need it — I haven't touched the reservoir in 10 days.

"Works better than I expected"
Skeptical that something with no electricity could work this well. Three months in and not a single dead plant. My fiddle leaf fig finally stopped dropping leaves.

"Little learning curve, totally worth it"
Works exactly as described. Took a little trial and error to dial in the flow rate on the first sensor, but once set it's completely hands-off.

Went on a 2-week vacation and came back to perfectly watered plants. This thing paid for itself on the first trip.

"Herb garden is thriving"
Best thing I've bought for my indoor herb garden. Basil, mint, parsley — all thriving. Highly recommend for anyone who travels or just forgets to water.
