How to Choose a Hose Reel Irrigator
A practical starting point for matching field conditions, water supply and machine specifications.
Choosing a hose reel irrigator starts with your field and water data. Compare the machine specifications against your planned irrigation layout before confirming a model.
01 Review your field and crop conditions
Record the field length, width and terrain. Consider access, working positions and the route of the hose. Include crop type, row arrangement and the time available for irrigation. A simple sketch is often more useful than an area figure alone.

02 Check water source and pump data
Share your water source, available flow, pump head or pressure, and pipe connection details. Record where each measurement was taken and whether the pump was operating. Review flow and pressure together for the selected model, rather than choosing from the pump nameplate alone.
03 Compare hose and drive specifications
Use PE hose diameter, hose length and rewind drive as a starting point. The SECOSETH range includes 50 mm, 75 mm and 90 mm hose models. Confirm the complete model specification and its suitability for your conditions.
| Parameter | What to record | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| PE hose | Diameter and length | Model-specific specification |
| Rewind drive | Water turbine or motor | Drive and power requirements |
| Sprinkler | Rain gun or boom | Model compatibility |
04 Prepare your selection information
Send the information below with your enquiry. If a measurement is missing, identify it clearly so the team can explain what is still needed.
- Field dimensions and terrain
- Pump flow and pressure
- Crop and irrigation plan
- Preferred hose size and length
- Water source and supply stability
- Quantity and destination
Use the selection guide to organise your request. A model recommendation should be confirmed against the final specification before ordering.
