Installation and positioning
Step 4 - Positioning of Tropf-Blumat sensors
1.
Begin by positioning the last Tropf-Blumat of the system as this evacuates the air from the feeding tube. Open the adjustment screw by turning it anticlockwise. Water now runs out of the drip tube.
2.
Then close the adjustment screw again, turning it slowly clockwise until the dripping stops. There should be just one drop left hanging at the end of the tube.
3.
Then turn the adjustment screw another 1/4 turn tighter (another 2 marking arrows)
- Repeat this adjustment for every individual Tropf-Blumat.
Your watering system is now ready to use. To start with, the Tropf-Blumat will not release any water because the soil is still damp. As soon as the soil becomes dry, the watering will begin automatically.
