Sprinkler systems for farms in Kenya

Sprinklers for different farm layouts

A small plot, nursery, greenhouse perimeter and open field may each require a different sprinkler pattern. Sprinkler spacing should be planned around the throw, wind exposure and the crop's water requirement.

DripTech Eco Flow supplies sprinkler equipment and related pipes, pumps, valves and fittings. The team can help compare a sprinkler layout with drip irrigation when both options could work.

What to check before buying

• Available water flow and operating pressure
• Required coverage and sprinkler spacing
• Pipe diameter and run length
• Pump capacity and power source
• Drainage, wind and crop sensitivity

Match sprinkler coverage to pump and pipe sizing

Sprinkler performance depends on the flow and pressure available at the sprinkler while the system is running. Check the product specification alongside the pump curve, pipe diameter, line length and elevation before settling on a layout.

Rain guns can cover larger open areas, but they need a compatible water supply and suitable spacing. Wind, field shape and the crop's water needs affect the pattern, so do not choose a model by throw distance alone.

• Compare required flow and operating pressure for each sprinkler or rain gun.
• Plan spacing and overlap around the actual coverage pattern and local wind conditions.
• Check pump capacity, pipe friction loss, filters and fittings as one system.
• Allow access for flushing, maintenance and moving equipment between zones.
