How to work with flange rain gun requirements

i. Water availability. It requires 30 cubic per hour as a minimum. If irrigation takes 5 hours per day, then 150 cubic must be available

ii. Pressure. Check your ground elevation, determine your pressure loss in the system and your pipe size. Work backward to determine the water pump type that matches your sprinkler choice. The frictional losses along the pipeline will be taken into consideration too

iii. Crop water requirement. This determines the time spent in irrigation

 

Summary

Your sprinkler will have a tripod steel support stand. The water delivery pipe is attached to the hollow bottom of the stand

The water drops are fine to use on flowering crops without causing flower abortion. On solanaceous crops such as; tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, irrigate in the morning hours and not in the evening. This allows the moisture to dry off from the leaves, which minimises blight infection.

Before installation, our technical team makes a site visit to make the system layout plan. This is important to ensure that every inch of the farm is covered during irrigation and that there are no dry ‘shadows.’

These giant sprinklers irrigate over a short period of time, in a large area.

    • Good evening George,

      Our flange type rain gun sprinkler for sale in Kenya operates with high pressure and high volume. This cannot be supplied by a submersible borehole water pump. You need to either use a high pressure diesel water pump or an electric surface pump. This means pumping from a water pan or large tank, but not directly from the borehole
