BluSoak drip tape spreads water evenly across large containers or raised beds.

BluSoak irrigation tape distributes water across a wide soil area instead of delivering water from a single drip point. This allows moisture to spread evenly through large containers or raised beds and helps maintain consistent soil moisture throughout the root zone. Step by Step Instructions:1. Connect BluSoak to the Blumat sensor line.2. Lay the tape across the soil surface.3. Cover the entire container or bed evenly.4. Tighten fittings securely.

What Is BluSoak Drip Tape?

The sensor should usually be placed about 3–4 inches from the distribution point.

If the sensor is too far from the watering pattern it may continue releasing water longer than necessary. If it is too close it may shut off too quickly. Placing the sensor within the wetting zone allows it to respond accurately to irrigation events. Step by Step Instructions:1. Place the drip point or tape first.2. Install the sensor about 3&#x2013;4 inches away.3. Ensure the sensor sits within the watering pattern.4. Confirm the soil wets evenly around both points.
