The Alien Rain System Silver Lid Cover is available for when the original part is lost or sustains damage. It fits onto both the 15L and 30L Rain System Pots and stops leaves and other detritus falling onto the Rain Tray. This could block the holes and affect the even dosing. The Alien Rain System Silver Lid Cover is essential for making sure your system runs smoothly.
How does the Alien Rain Silver Series work?
When the system is on, water pumps to the Rain tray on the top of each pot. These trays have multiple holes across the surface through which the water drips onto the media. As it covers the whole surface, there are no dry spots and no over wet areas. Plant roots can then use the entire volume of media, rather than just where a dripper is (for example). The volume of water that runs through the media is high, flushing away the old nutrient and water, replacing it with new. Your plants will have the freshest water and nutrients possible with every feeding. As the media dries, it does so uniformly too, further improving the root zone conditions and making for a more reliable and stable grow.
The Alien Rain Silver Series system is highly versatile! You can use it with soil, coco, clay pebbles or any other media you want. Simply adjust the times between dosing to suit the drainage capacity of the substrate. The Rain System can also be set up as a recirculating system, or a run to waste, further increasing your options. The Silver Series is the professional kit, but Alien also offer a Black series, which is the standard version. There is loads more info about the Rain Systems on the Alien Hydroponics website.
