Laser Spray vs Ordinary Rain Pipe | Better Irrigation

Why Laser Spray is Superior to Ordinary Rain Pipes / Rain Hoses

Modern agriculture is moving rapidly toward precision, efficiency, and sustainability. Farmers today are looking for irrigation systems that not only save water but also improve crop yield and soil health. 

Laser Spray or Rain Pipe / Rain Hose Irrigation is an advanced form of micro-irrigation that mimics natural rainfall. The system uses specially designed pipes — often called Spray Pipes — with tiny holes that spray. When water flows through the pipe under low pressure, it is released in fine droplets, covering the soil surface uniformly like a gentle shower. This system combines the advantages of drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation, making it one of the most economical and efficient irrigation methods available for farmers today.

Among the various spray irrigation systems available, Laser Spray systems are fast emerging as the superior choice compared to ordinary Rain Pipes / Rain Hoses.

But what makes Laser Spray better? Let’s explore in detail how this irrigation technology outperforms the ordinary rain pipes.

Precision-Engineered Laser Holes for Uniform Water Distribution

Ordinary rain pipes are usually made by manually punching or drilling holes, which often results in uneven spacing, inconsistent hole sizes, and irregular spray patterns. This leads to uneven irrigation — some parts of the field receive excess water while others remain dry.

Laser Spray systems, on the other hand, are made using advanced laser punching technology. Each hole is created with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring uniform water discharge. This precision manifest in the following ways in the field:

• Longer and wider Irrigated Area: Laser Spray has longer Maximum Permissible Running Length compared to ordinary Rain Pipes / Rain Hoses i.e. it can be laid for a longer distance without disturbing uniformity of irrigation. For example, Laser Spray 32 mm can be laid upto 50 mtr. ‘Laser Spray 40 mm Marathon’ can be laid upto 100 mtr length.  

Laser Spray also covers wider area compared to the ordinary Rain Pipes / Rain Hoses e.g. Laser Spray 32 mm / 40 mm covers are area of about 7 mtr width.  

Hence, every Laser Spray tube irrigates more area than ordinary Rain Pipes / Rain Hoses. So, the irrigation systems made of Laser Spray need lesser quantity of spray pipes, submain and corresponding fittings compared to the irrigation systems made with ordinary Rain Pipes / Rain Hoses for a given size of field.

While an one acre of field can be covered by 600 mtr of Laser Spray 32 mm, the same may call for even 1400 meter of ordinary Rain Pipes / Rain Hoses. 

This has been explained by the illustration below:

• Uniform Irrigation: Unlike ordinary Rain Pipes, Laser Spray given uniform water discharge upto its maximum permissible running length giving uniform irrigation to the field leaving no dry patch.
• Fine Water Droplets: Laser Spray (Rain Pipe) produces finer water droplets compared to ordinary pipes, which does not harm the fruits and flowers. Several crops have very delicate flowers which can be harmed by large water drops.

Quality and Durability

Laser Spray pipes are manufactured using high-quality virgin plastics, making them robust and long-lasting compared to standard rain hoses. This translates into reliable performance season after season, with minimal maintenance and fewer replacements required.

🚜 Final Thoughts

The superiority of Laser Spray systems over ordinary Rain Pipe / Rain Hose lies in their precision engineering, efficiency, economy and sustainability. With features like uniform spray, wider coverage, fine droplets and longer durability etc. Laser Spray irrigation represents a smart investment for every progressive farmer.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What is Laser Spray Irrigation?
Laser Spray Irrigation is an advanced rain pipe system made with laser-punched holes in specially designed patters for uniform water distribution covering large area. 

Q2. How is it different from ordinary rain pipes?

 

• Ordinary pipes have uneven holes, causing patchy irrigation. Laser Spray uses laser-cut precision holes that give uniform coverage over a larger area. Laser Spray has longer Maximum Permissible Length compared to the ordinary Rain Pipes / Rain Hoses so it can be laid over longer area without disturbing uniformity of irrigation. For example, Laser Spray 32 mm can be laid upto 50 mtr. ‘Laser Spray 40 mm Marathon’ can be laid upto 100 mtr length.  

Laser Spray also covers wider area compared to the ordinary Rain Pipes / Rain Hoses e.g. Laer Spray 32 mm / 40 mm covers are area of about 7 mtr width.  

 Thus, every single Laser Spray line can cover longer and wider land area thereby reducing the requirement of spray pipes, sub-main and fitting. Hence, for a given agricultural plot area, less quantity of these components is required compared to ordinary rain pipes / rain hoses.

• Laser Spray covers the area uniformly without ant dry spot.
• The water jets from Laser Spray has finer droplets which cause no harm to the fruits and flowers. 
• Laser Spray is made of High Quality Virgin Plastic. It is more robust, long lasting and reliable. It does not crack or burst under low pressure. 

Q3. How much area does one Laser Spray cover?
One acre of land can be irrigated using approximately 600 meters of 32 mm Laser Spray pipe.

Q4. What crops can be irrigated with Laser Spray?
It is suitable for all short height close spacing crops like vegetables, soyabean, paddy, wheat and lucerne grass etc. 

Q5. How long does a Laser Spray pipe last?
With proper care, Driptech Laser Spray can easily last 4-6 years. It really depends on the care taken during use and winding / re installation process. 

Laser Spray is made of High Quality Virgin Plastic. It is more robust, long lasting and reliable. It does not crack or burst under low pressure. It is UV resistant and so, it does not deteriorate under the sun. It can get damaged by mechanical means and so, handling determines its life.
