Rain Gun Irrigation System FAQs
What is the ideal pressure for a rain gun?
Most rain guns operate best between 2.5 to 5 bar (kg/cm²) for optimal coverage.
Can rain guns be used with borewell water?
Yes, provided the water is filtered to prevent nozzle clogging.
How many rain guns are needed per acre?
Typically, 1–2 rain guns per acre, depending on nozzle size and pressure.
Do you provide motor and pump recommendations?
Absolutely, we help select suitable diesel, electric, or PTO-driven pumps.
What coverage (radius) can a rain gun give?
Coverage radius varies by model, nozzle diameter, and pressure. Typical ranges are about 15 to 60 meters. Wind conditions and installation height also affect throw.
What pump is required for a Rain Gun Irrigation System?
The pump must provide the required flow (m³/hr) and pressure (bar) at the rain gun after pipeline losses. We recommend pump sizing based on your rain gun model, pipe length, and number of guns running at once.
What is an automatic rain gun sprinkler system?
An automatic system uses timers / controllers, valves (manual or solenoid), and zoning to start/stop rain guns on a schedule. It reduces labor and helps maintain consistent watering cycles.
Can rain guns be used for dust suppression?
Yes, rain guns are used for yard wetting and dust control in mines, stockyards, haul roads, and open handling areas where water spraying is permitted.
