Top 5 Rain Gun Sprinklers Every Kenyan Farmer Should Know About

Why Rain Gun Sprinklers Are Changing Kenyan Farming

If you farm in Kenya, you’ve probably heard about rain gun sprinklers — the high-pressure irrigation tools that mimic natural rainfall. These sprinklers are becoming increasingly popular because they save time, water, and labor, while ensuring uniform water distribution across large areas.

At Bestfix Irrigation, we’ve seen how farmers who upgrade to rain gun systems experience better yields and reduced water use, especially during dry seasons.

Let’s explore the top 5 rain gun sprinklers every Kenyan farmer should know about in 2025.

1. PY30 Rain Gun Sprinkler

The PY30 is perfect for small and medium farms. It covers an area of up to 25–30 meters radius, depending on pressure.

✅ Best For: Vegetables, coffee, tea, and small fields
✅ Water Pressure: 2.5–4 bar
✅ Benefits: Portable, durable, and easy to install

2. PY40 Rain Gun Sprinkler

The PY40 is a favorite among commercial farmers. It provides medium coverage of up to 40 meters and performs well under moderate water pressure.

✅ Best For: Sugarcane, maize, and pasture farms
✅ Water Pressure: 3–5 bar
✅ Benefits: Durable metal body, wide coverage, adjustable nozzles

💡 Did you know? The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) notes that wide-coverage sprinklers like the PY40 improve water-use efficiency by up to 30%.

3. PY50 Rain Gun Sprinkler

If you need maximum coverage, the PY50 is your best pick. With a radius of up to 55 meters, it’s ideal for large farms that require high water discharge rates.

✅ Best For: Large-scale irrigation (wheat, maize, sugarcane)
✅ Water Pressure: 4–6 bar
✅ Benefits: Long life span, corrosion-resistant, and compatible with HDPE mainlines

We recommend pairing PY50 with durable HDPE pipes and fittings for reliable performance.

4. Flange Type Rain Gun Sprinkler

This heavy-duty model is ideal for permanent irrigation systems. It connects directly to buried mainlines, making it perfect for fixed installations.

✅ Best For: Estates, golf courses, and large commercial farms
