Alien Hydroponics Rain 9Pot

Product detailed description

The original hydroponic system Rain by Alien Hydroponics imitates rain through its watering method. 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: used solution is drained away) or as a recirculating system (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 drain 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 capacity of at least 100L for the system with 15L pots; larger 30L pots need a tank with a capacity from 250L. You can use any tank, for example the FlexiTank brand. Our range also includes the original Alien Hydroponics tank.

Alien Hydroponics Rain 9Pot has nine pots and is available in PRO Silver (silver) and Black (black) variants. You can also choose from two pot sizes; both variants are available in 15L and 30L sizes.

Advantages of the Alien Hydroponics Rain system:

• Imitates rain - even watering
• Immediately washes away salt sediments
• Suitable for any growing medium
• Efficient use of water and fertilisers
• Even drying of the growing medium
• Completely silent
• Watering timing and filtration
• Adjustable as RTW or recirculating system

How do the PRO Silver and Black systems differ?

Compared with the basic features, the Pro Silver system offers something extra:

• DualFlow 50 mm connectors - the larger diameter means freer flow of the nutrient solution, and they are also adapted for better drainage
• 50 mm 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 package contains:

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

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

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