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.
Check the reservoir height
Gravity-fed systems need the water reservoir to sit higher than your plants — ideally at least 36 inches above the soil to build the 5-10 PSI pressure needed for steady flow.
PLANT DRIVEN WATERING
Never Water Your Plants Again
Most watering systems run on a timer. Ours runs on a plant. No timers, electricity, or apps needed. Set it up in 30 minutes with only a pair of scissors. Powering greenhouses and home gardens across Europe since 1965 and now available in the USA.
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.
Safe Tap Connection
How the Pressure Reducer Works
Confirm the Size
8 mm fittings only work with 8 mm supply tubing. 3mm fittings work with 3mm drip tubing
Cut Tube
Use sharp scissors or a tube cutter for a square cut. Crushed or angled cuts leak.
Push It On
Seat the tubing fully onto each barb of the fitting. A snug fit holds without clamps or glue.
Test the Flow
Run water through the system and check for leaks before walking away.
Walk Away
Once it's installed and tested, you're good to go.
