How Rain Hose Irrigation Works
Rain Hose irrigation is an alternative to a sprinkler irrigation system and works best where you want to save on cost. The system uses low-pressure pumps to get water on the end delivery rain hose pipe.
A land surface receives adequate water that flows through the pipe as it has numerous openings that provide steady high-pressure jets of water. The entire ground surface on both sides of the pipe becomes wet within a short time compared to drip irrigation.
