Blumat Digital Soil Moisture Sensor

Works great and very accurate and once it's setup it's easy to check how much water is in the soil.

Ordering from Amazon is always quick and easy. The item arrived on time, exactly as described, and well-packaged. Customer service is reliable, and I appreciate the wide selection and competitive prices. Highly recommend!

This has stopped working after 5 months and amazon will only except returns within 30 days. A battery replacement did not resolve this. I have changed review as after unit breaking Amazon did help resolve the issue and Blumat themselves were very helpful when I reached out to them. I have chosen to purchase another one in hope that I was just unlucky, especially as its a very useful and vital tool.

I bought 2of these items (the first one few months ago ) and it matches the description. The other one I bought recently, and it’s defective..I want to send it back, but the seller refuses to provide with return label and refund . I strongly discourage dealing with this seller.

Ich habe dieses gerät seit einer woche im einsatz und habe es bereits an verschiedenen kübelplanzen täglich mehrfach getestet. besonders positiv haben mich die hochausgeprägten quantitaven ergebnisse und die überzeugende meßmethode über den wurzelansaugdruck überrascht. sehr gut auch die beiliegende anleitung mit vielen praktischen pflanzenbeispielen und deren optimale bewässerung. mich verwundert, dass hier einige kunden systeme anpreisen, die nicht die wasserverfügbarkeit für die pflanzen, sondern die elektrische leitfähigkeit der erde/des substrates messen und selbst das sehr ungenau bis unbefriedigend; die außer billig kaum zu gebrauchen sind.

Parfait correspond à mes attentes

This is an amazing product and all the bad reviews don’t know what they are talking about. I grow in organic living soil (BAS 3.0) and this thing taught me how to water. I also own an Irrometer but I like these Blumat tensiometers better because you don’t have to fiddle with air bubbles which is a major PITA for the irrometer, so now I own 3 of these digital ones. You just soak for an hour, shake underwater to get any bubbles out, and then screw the top on filled to the brim. Done. Follow the instructions pamphlet. Only 2-4 inches from the edge of the pot, 8 inches deep. 50-120 mbar. I put them straight in the soil even with pumice chunks with no reading issues. I have one each in a 20 gallon and two 15 gallon pots. Jeremy from Buildasoil recommends keeping the 3.0 soil wetter around 40-80 mbar in veg and I agree if I go dryer than that I get nute burn from not having enough moisture. Then after stretch 80-120 mbar for flower. If you are using KIS Organics soil, Tad recommends 80-120 mbar. These are precise instruments and if you set it up properly then that means it is reading properly, so if you see a reading for the first time and think it’s off it’s not, it’s just that section of soil really is that wet or dry. The only con is that the digital top is not waterproof, but the tube it comes in makes for a perfect cap. I cut the end off about 4 inches and keep it over the top at all times.

It doesn't work?? It reads the same all the time?? Please give me a break!! This is an excellent product IF you use it correctly! You MUST make sure the water inside the tube is at the very top to touch the gauge top. If you meter never changes the reading you need to put it in dry soil and let it sit for about two hours and reset after reading. This is a fine product but you should read instructions and follow them to the letter. The end is ceramic and you can always use lite grit sandpaper on probe to "refresh" the ceramic if necessary. Again this is right in instructions. This is a high quality product for the money. Remember it is designed to leave in one place to monitor your tree, shrub, etc. this item is NOT designed to walk around the yard checking moisture in various plants.
