## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want a sensor that I can move around and test my many outdoor plants.  Most below used them for all-summer one-plant placement.  Will it do my way?**
A: Yes you can do it your way but it is not instantaneous. Certain criteria have to be met for it to read accurately and it has to settle in for a few hours.I keep it in one location to act as the "base" then I use then I use the $7.00 ones you get at Walmart. I compare where the cheap ones are reading in comparison to the Blumat then I test the pots or areas I want to check.

**Q: Just got my Blumat 50205. The instructions do not say  whether to leave the water in the tube or pour it out ?**
A: Yes, just like with a regular Blumat sensor, they always need to be full of water. And when you soak it, be sure to only soak the bottom part - if you soak the top it can stop the meter from working properly.

**Q: Will this product work accurately with potted houseplants? Is there a minimum soil depth for accurate readings?**
A: The Meter will work in all soil/soilless media. the ceramic tip should be placed at about the level of the root system, which varies depending on plant and pot.

**Q: is this item durable,can it be left in ground all summer for newly planted 7 foot Technys ?**
A: Yes you can leave it in the ground all summer, mine has been in soil for 6 months so far with no problems.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing product if you have common sense
*by S***G on September 23, 2024*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works like a charm
*by S***K on April 23, 2025*

### ⭐ customer service
*by T***R on July 1, 2025*

This product was shipped with instructions in German only. It appears that on the Company's website instructions are available in English, but when I tried to access them I got a "Page Not Available" error. I tried several browsers and got the same result every time. I twice contacted the company via email on their website, but never got a response.
