Worth knowing
When functioning correctly, the dispensed water is drawn in through the tube. The water level in the Blumat Classic remains virtually unchanged. Keep the water container topped up. If the water container is empty, the Blumat will also have to be refilled.
Fruit and vegetables: Blumat Classic can be used to water fruit and vegetables without any worries. All Blumat Classic products have been tested in accordance with the Austrian drinking water directive and are below all specified limits. Blumat Classic products are free from BPA, PFAS and phthalates.
Long-term watering: It is best to use opaque containers as this prevents algae growth. In addition, water the plants every 4-6 weeks with a watering can.
Maintenance: Blumat Classic will last longer if it is thoroughly cleaned once a year. Open the Blumat Classic and soak both parts in warm water for about 5 minutes. Remove visible deposits from the inside with a small brush or wooden spatula and rinse out. Then press the cap on firmly several times under water to flush any impurities out of the tube. Remove deposits from the outside of the clay cone with sandpaper.
Fertilising: This is no problem, just add a little liquid fertiliser by pouring some into the water container (see the manufacturer’s dosing instructions).
