Specifications of Rain Hose
- 100 M long rain hose tapes
- Nano-punched holes along the pipe length.
- Rain Hose pipe’s diameter sizes are 32 mm, 40 mm, and 50 mm.
- Flow radius depends on the pipe diameter, 32 mm delivers a 3 m throw, 40 mm provides 5 m, and 50 mm for 7 m.
- The system requires a pressure of 30 M head; thus, you need a pump of high pressure.
Complete Rain Hose Systems In Kenya
- HDPE mainline pipes – run from the pump outlet to the delivery hose pipes. Applicable in large farms or where the source of water is far away.
- Delivery Rain Hose pipes – Perforated rain hose line pipes.
- Start connectors – connects rain hose pipes to mainline pipes
- HDPE or Mainline pipe connectors – for connecting components of the mainline section
- Mini valves – for controlling water flowing to the individual rain hose pipes.
- End Caps – Closing the end of rain hose pipes to prevent water losses.
What is Rain Hose Irrigation?
Rain Hose Irrigation technique is a recent way of applying water on crops with a simulation of natural rainfall patterns.
The simulated rainfall occurs through a flexible hose pipe with a series of small holes on the entire pipe length. Water comes out of these holes in tiny high-pressure jets creating sprays that fall on the ground as rainfall drops.
How Does the Rain Hose Irrigation System Work?
Water from the source, which can be a tank, well, river, or dam, flows through a pipe connection to the rain hose pipes. At the source, a water pump must be connected to the system to deliver high-pressure flow rates.
The laser-punched holes release water evenly allowing a wider coverage on the crop zones.
How to assemble Rain Hose
- Set up and mount the pump head. On a flat ground surface near the water source, place your pump set. Connect the pump suction pipe to the inlet and insert it into the water source.
- Lay and connect the delivery mainline pipes to the pump outlet.
- Make holes on the mainline pipe equal to the rain hose delivery pipes.
- Insert rubber rings into the holes, then starter connectors. Lay rain hose tapes to the areas between plant lines from end to end.
- Connect rain pipe to the starter connectors and screw them tightly to connect.
- Connect rain hose pipes using hose to hose connector.
- Use end caps to seal the ends of the delivery hose pipes.
Crop-Specific Applications of Rain Hose Systems
Rain hose systems are applicable in irrigation of;
- Vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, and kale. etc…
- Animal feeds such as Napier grass, lucerne, and corn.
- Legumes such as beans and groundnuts.
- Fruit and nursery trees.
Advantages of Rain Hose Irrigation in Kenya
- Rain hose systems delivers uniform water coverage to the crop fields through all directional irrigation.
- It is reliable in the irrigation of high-water requirement crops such as animal feeds and grasses.
- Rain hose irrigation works for a wide range of crops including vegetables, fruits, and other field crops.
- Rain hose systems is ideal for use in soil irrigation prevention and environmental conservation. It is not prone to surface water run-offs and has mild effects on soil erosion.
- Rain Hose kits are affordable and easier to use and install compared to other irrigation methods.
Rain Hose Systems in Kenya: Not Recommended for;
- During windy days strong winds affect the uniformity of water supply in the fields.
- In irrigation of crops prone to fungal infections, onions, tomatoes, and potato.
- In clay soils or low-drained soils, it results in waterlogging which affects crop growth.
