Who This Is For
- You are automating your top-feed cycle because hand-watering sixteen pots leads to uneven saturation across the rows.
- You are adopting the rain-style delivery because your current drippers clog or create dry spots in the media.
What We Found
- Those copper-plated drain covers actually work.
- The silver reflective piping keeps the nutrient solution noticeably cooler than standard black tubing in warm rooms.
- We like that this kit uses threaded nuts and washers instead of glue so you can tear it down and clean it between runs.
What Users Say
- Users who switched to this automated rain cycle say they stopped spending hours every weekend hand-watering each pot.
- Customers tell us the rainfall delivery pattern prevents the dry pockets that used to cause root rot in their garden.
Alien Hydroponics RAIN System - 16 Pot 2 Row Kit
Struggling with inconsistent nutrient delivery in your garden? The Alien Hydroponics RAIN System - 16 Pot 2 Row Kit eliminates the guesswork by mimicking natural rainfall, ensuring every plant gets the perfect amount of water and nutrients exactly when needed.
Designed for dedicated growers, this reliable 16-pot system is perfect for mid-sized operations and supports various plant cycles. The innovative top-feed design delivers optimal nutrient absorption, enhances oxygenation for robust root health, and minimizes waste. It effectively washes away residual salts, preventing nutrient lockout and root rot, allowing you to confidently use a variety of growing media. This versatile setup is part of the advanced Alien Hydroponics family, known for pushing the boundaries of automated cultivation.
The kit offers flexibility with options for 4-gallon or 8-gallon pots. Assembly is a breeze thanks to a no-glue, tool-free design, making it accessible for growers of all experience levels. For those looking at different configurations, Alien Hydroponics also offers advanced RDWC systems and high-performance AERO systems to suit any growing style.
Please note: This kit requires a nutrient reservoir, which is not included. We highly recommend pairing it with a compatible tank like the Alien GardenTank 70 Gallon reservoir to complete your setup.

FAQs
The RAIN system is a top-feed dripper that mimics rainfall, making it ideal for soil and coco mediums. This differs from the RDWC systems, which constantly submerge roots in aerated water, and the AERO systems, which mist the roots with a nutrient solution.
The RAIN system is highly versatile and designed to work effectively with various substrates, including soil, coco coir, and other hydroponic media. Its top-feed design helps prevent salt buildup, which is a common issue with some media types.
No, assembly is straightforward. The system features a glue-free design with threaded fittings and snap-on pipes, so no special tools are required. The included instructions will guide you through the process.
A nutrient reservoir is required but not included. We recommend a tank with a minimum capacity of 70 gallons (280 liters) to ensure your plants have a consistent and adequate supply of nutrient solution.
Absolutely. The modular design of the Alien Hydroponics RAIN system allows for easy expansion and reconfiguration. You can adjust pot spacing or add more pots up to a total of 36, making it easy to adapt to your growing space and needs. Smaller kits like the 8 Pot 2 Row Kit are also available.
For optimal results, Alien Hydroponics recommends setting the included timer to run a watering cycle for one minute every hour. However, you can adjust this based on your specific plant type, growth stage, and environmental conditions.
