Sprinklers for Sale in Kenya by Aqua Hub
What is a Sprinkler?
Sprinklers for Sale in Kenya |Sprinklers are equipment for supplying water in a rainfall-like manner to crops in fields or orchards.
For even distribution of water using sprinklers, a farm must have an effective system of pipes, pumps, and valves to regulate the water flow.
What to consider when Purchasing Sprinklers
The Size of the field
The size of the land for irrigation determines the size and number of sprinklers you will need.
Type of Crops propagated.
The crop meant for sprinkler irrigation should be considered before purchasing sprinklers. Small and shallow root crops require lower pressure and small sprinklers.
Pressure Requirement
The pressure requirement for your farm will depend on the water source. Rain Guns requires the use of water pumps due to high pressure requirements. Butterfly sprinklers do not require high pressure, water can flow through gravity.
Applications of Sprinklers
- Sprinklers are used in domestic irrigation of lawns and orchards
- Pop-up sprinklers for lawns and fields.
- Industrial use for spraying of metals, painting, and mixing chemicals.
- Sprinklers are suitable for agricultural use in Irrigation of small and large crop farms.
Methods (ways) to Apply Sprinklers
- Sprinklers can apply simple hose pipe connections to supply water to farms – The hose pipes can be shifted to different sections once the starting point is properly irrigated.
- Fitting Sprinklers to each farm section is another appropriate method to irrigate fields.
- For large farms overhead sprinklers are suitable. They are effective but costly and requires large water volumes to water a sizable piece of land.
How do Sprinklers work?
Pumps supply water in the required pressure, pipes deliver water to the laterals. The water flowing under pressure, once it enters the sprinkler, hits the rotary jets causing the head to rotate and water forced out of the nozzle in sprays.
What is the ideal Spacing of Sprinklers?
For small farms, equal distances of 15- 30 m apart is appropriate.
What determines the rate of water distribution using Sprinklers?
The rate of water distribution to the crop depends on the size of the sprinkler head and nozzle.
The sprinkler spacing and operating pressure also affects the distribution of water.
