BLUMAT DIGITAL
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The calibration is out of alignment and needs to be reset. Unscrew the measuring head from the plastic tube and press the “on” button for 5 seconds until “ooo” appears in the display. Then refill the Blumat Digital with water as usual, screw it up and insert it in the soil.
My Blumat Digital shows impossible readings, what can I do?
You do not need to remove the Blumat Digital when watering, it is protected from splashes from above. However, you should avoid direct watering as this will extend the service life of your Blumat Digital. If you also use the protecting cap, then direct watering is not a problem.
Do I need to remove my Blumat Digital when watering the plants?
My Blumat Digital loses water over time, why is this?
This is normal, the Blumat Digital slowly loses water during operation and needs to be topped up once or twice a year. The water level is easy to read through the white casing without having to unscrew the measuring head. If the casing is only half full, you need to top up the Digital.
The soil around my plants is very dense and hard, could I break the Blumat Digital on insertion?
The Blumat Digital is generally very stable, however if the soil is very hard and dense, we recommend loosening up the soil or piercing a hole for the Blumat Digital. It is best to use the Blumat corer for this purpose as it is precisely adapted to the shape of the Blumat Digital.
Is the Blumat Digital waterproof and airtight?
No. The 3 screws on the bottom are not sealed so that pressure equalisation can take place. This is technically necessary for an accurate measuring result.
The display of my Blumat Digital has misted up on the inside, why is that?
Humidity also gets inside together with the air. This can condense on the display, especially when it cools down fast. This is normal behaviour and will not impair the function. The display usually dries by itself with rising temperatures. If that is not sufficient, place the Blumat Digital in a warm and dry environment. Screwing the Blumat Digital open will accelerate the drying.
Water may have penetrated through the 3 screws on the bottom. Screw the Blumat Digital open, remove the battery and until everything is dry again. Then close the Blumat Digital again and check that it is working properly.
I dropped my Blumat Digital into water, what shall I do?
