Water Reservoir for Blumat Systems | 5-Gallon Bucket w/Lid & Bulkhead Fittings Installed | Ready for 8mm Super-Flex Tubing, Blumat Watering Sensors & Irrigation Systems | HDPE Food-Grade Plastic

Easy set up

I’m using this to grow herbs indoors with LED grow lights. Set up is a bit labor intensive but worth it for the ease of use. The bulkheads need to be sealed with Silicone sealer if you don’t want water constantly dripping out of the reservoir. I used clear Gorilla brand silicone sealer

Upfront I want to say, I used only filtered water during my run using this Blumat system and watering spikes, so I can't speak to whether using nutrients in the reservoir may clog the tubing..However, I had to leave town abruptly and couldn't get anyone to take care of my plants. I shelled out for this system as opposed to using traditional bulb watering spikes, and after less than 24 hours of calibration I had to depart to come back after 10 days, hoping my downstairs neighbors wouldn't have a leaky roof.. Low and behold the plants were THRIVING when I returned. The consistent delivery may even have been better than the hand feeding I had been doing. Being a gravity fed system, it was much easy to setup than a timed hydroponic system imo. Thanks for reading.

It's a 5 gallon bucket with 2 1/4 inch holes half an inch from the base with their propitiatory 8mm adapter that doesn't fit any thing else, I spent $85 on it and for that price I can buy a cheap drill the drill bits 2 8mm hose adapters and airline tubing, save your money only buy the clay carrots bluemat makes. this isn't it chief

Were going out of town for 2 weeks and needed to find something that would water our outside plants. I looked around and saw this, read the reviews, and decided to try it. It was easy to set up and we filled the bucket with water and left. When we returned the plants were flourishing in the Texas 100 degree heat. Works Great!

The pull tab was already pulled off when I received the item and I cannot get it open by any means. I will use a saw to make a hole in the top so I can retrieve the spigot and fill with water. I don't see why it won't work after I set it up.

It's a 5 gallon bucket with bulkhead fittings. It saves the headache of building it yourself for the same price. Keep it above your plants!

Dislike they didn't came in with blumat box.. came in separated brown box
