Alien Hydroponics Rain 8Pot

Product detailed description

The original Rain hydroponic system from Alien Hydroponics mimics rain through its watering style. By copying as faithfully as possible the irrigation system we know from nature, it achieves excellent results.

During watering, the nutrient solution flows through the perforated Rain lid, so it reaches the plants in droplets. This simulates rainfall and prevents salt build-up, which is flushed away immediately. Even watering ensures that nutrients reach all roots equally and the substrate dries at the same rate. After watering ends, all the solution slowly drips into the substrate, so there are no losses. Before the nutrient solution reaches the plants, it is filtered to remove impurities.

Any substrate is suitable for the system - it can handle classic soil, coco or inert media such as expanded clay. The system can be set up as RTW (run-to-waste: the used solution is drained away) or as a recirculating system (the used solution returns to the tank), so you can grow in any style and method.

Watering is controlled by the Rain Brain system, which operates both the irrigation and drainage pump. You can set watering to last from 15 seconds to 5 minutes, at intervals from 30 minutes to 7 days.

For the Rain system, you will need a tank with a volume of at least 100L. You can use any tank, for example 100L FlexiTank. Our range also includes original Alien Hydroponics tank.

Alien Hydroponics Rain 8Pot has eight pots and is available in PRO Silver (silver) and Black (black) versions. You can also choose from two pot sizes; both versions are available in 15L and 30L sizes.

Advantages of the Alien Hydroponics Rain system:

• Mimics rain - even watering
• Flushes away salt sediments straight away
• Suitable for any growing medium
• Efficient use of water and fertilisers
• Even drying of the growing medium
• Completely silent
• Timed watering and filtration
• Adjustable as RTW or recirculating system

How do the PRO Silver and Black systems differ?

In addition to the basic benefits, the Pro Silver system offers something extra:

• DualFlow 50mm connectors - the larger diameter means freer flow of the nutrient solution, and they are also designed for better drainage
• 50mm silver hose - the connecting hose is also thicker and reflects heat, so the solution does not warm up in it
• Containers and lids made of silver polymer - reflect heat, preventing warming
• Drain with copper coating - roots will not grow into the irrigation system

Each pack contains:

Containers, fabric pots, Rain lids, lid covers, container bases, filter head, Rain Brain control system, Rain irrigation pump, Jet-Stream drainage pump, power cable, 12V adapter, container clips, lid clips, nuts, washers, valve taps, siphon valves, hose scissors, adjustable spanner, hose clamps, and manual.

Rain Black pack also contains: drain covers, 32mm connectors and hoses: 4mm (green),16mm (green), 19mm (black), 25mm (blue), 32mm (green).

Rain Pro Silver pack also contains: drain covers with copper coating, Dual-Flow connectors and hoses: 4mm (green), 16mm (silver), 19mm (black), 25mm (blue), 50mm (silver)
