Does it hook up to a water faucet?

Looks like a water timer.

I don't trust them because I had one fail and it was a lot of water. I'm happy it was outside. When it turns off it's very abrupt and the spike in pressure broke the plastic connection. Then it was just a open faucet pumping out water.

Good eyes....Yes, that is a timer I bought separate, that I was going to run off my 32 gallon RO tank, and I can shut off the water supply to the RO tank so no more that that would leak worst case scenario.

BUT, you have to turn the timer on so it would not work for vacations.

Does the Blumat system have a ":timer" of some sort , or is it on all the time at a slow drip....That's probably a better idea and I'll save the timer for outdoors

Blumat is gravity fed. The top of the carrot is a diaphragm that stops the drip when your desired moisture is achieved. It's really a brilliant piece of engineering.

Have you had any problems with it over watering, or underwatering? How long did it take to get zero'd in? Sounds like what I need!!

No problems so far. It did take a little trial and error to get things working correctly. Their instructions work good for veg but my plants dried out quickly during flower... you need about three or four times the flow for flower. I'm never going back to DWC or hand watering.

I have not experienced any issues or leaks.

Setup only takes a few minutes.

I use a 20 gal res inside and also have a pressure reducer connected to a spigot on my deck for outside plants.

I love them and do recommend them.

I had no idea you were using them too!

Didn't you have gnats? Or am I wrong?

Yea but that wasn't the fault of blumat. Still not sure how I got them.

My IPM is strong now.
