Assembling the Tropf-Blumat Sensors

  1. Unscrew the top parts and screw them back together underwater. Every Tropf-Blumat (sensor) must be filled completely with water.
  2. Leave the sensors filled with water and screwed together in the water for at least 15 minutes.
  3. This step is particularly important. Water the soil in all plant pots thoroughly several times before further assembly.
  4. Stick a Tropf-Blumat into the moist soil next to every plant (approx. 10-15 cm away from the plant). The clay cone must be covered completely by soil, press down loose soil.
  5. Connect the flexible drip tube to the T-piece or the end-piece and push it through the Tropf-Blumat. The end must protrude approx. 8 cm out of the Tropf-Blumat and should be near to the plant. Finally tighten the setting screws.
