Alien Hydroponics RAIN System - 18 Pot 3 Row Kit
Nutrient distribution has always been challenging in contained plant systems, but that's a thing of the past. With the Alien Hydroponics RAIN Top-Feed System 18 Pot 3 Row Kit, you can say goodbye to inconsistent water and nutrient distribution forever. Designed for seasoned growers seeking a reliable, mid-sized solution, this system supports steady outputs and diverse plant cycles by mimicking natural rainfall to ensure optimal nutrient absorption, oxygenation, and root health while minimizing wastage.
The unique design of the RAIN Top-Feed System allows you to work with different growing mediums without worrying about root rot, nutrient lockout, or salt buildup. Whether you choose the 15-liter or 30-liter pot options, this kit is easy to assemble and maintain with its no-glue, tool-free design. For those considering other high-performance methods, you might also be interested in the Alien Hydroponics RDWC - 16 Pot 2 Row for deep water culture applications.
Please note: This system requires a nutrient reservoir to operate. A tank is not included with the kit. We highly recommend the compatible Alien GardenTank 70 Gallon reservoir to complete your setup.

FAQs
The RAIN Top-Feed system is highly versatile and can be used with soil, coco coir, or mixed substrates, making it ideal for growers who want the benefits of automation without switching to pure hydroponics.
Yes, the RAIN system requires a nutrient reservoir to function. We recommend a minimum capacity of 70 gallons (280 liters) for the 18-pot kit. You can use an Alien GardenTank or your own reservoir.
The system mimics natural rainfall, which helps wash away residual salts from the medium. The raised drainage grid and sloped base ensure these salts are flushed out efficiently to prevent lockout.
Yes, unlike RDWC systems which require a perfectly level surface to maintain water levels, the RAIN Top-Feed system is much more forgiving and can be used on slightly uneven surfaces.
Alien Hydroponics generally recommends a watering frequency of one minute every hour, though this can be adjusted using the included cycle timer based on your plants' specific needs and growth stage.
