Why DRAMM Rain Wands™ Are the Professional’s Choice
By: DRAMM
Water is essential for growing healthy plants. In professional greenhouses, growers rely on tools they trust to deliver a gentle, full flow of water to their plants.
For 85 years, DRAMM, a family-owned company located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, has been a staple in greenhouses nationwide. Originally designed as a professional watering tool, home gardeners wanted the same reliable, professional-quality performance in their own gardens.
Built for Professionals
DRAMM’s legacy began in 1941 with John G. Dramm, a florist and inventor who wanted a nozzle that could deliver large volumes of water in a soft, rain like shower. To meet that need, he invented the 400 Water Breaker® Nozzle, designed to water efficiently without washing away soil or damaging delicate plants. His original design has often been imitated but never duplicated.
The DRAMM Rain Wand™ combines the Water Breaker® Nozzle with a long aluminum handle and a convenient shut-off valve, allowing growers to reach beneath foliage, applying water directly to the root zone quickly and easily. DRAMM Rain Wands™ are engineered to water thoroughly and gently while remaining comfortable and easy to use.
Gentle, Full Flow Coverage
Most DRAMM Rain Wands™ feature the Original 400 Water Breaker® Nozzle, which delivers a soft, rain-like shower ideal for deep, even watering.
For added versatility, interchangeable nozzles are available. The narrower 170 Water Breaker® Nozzle is ideal for container gardening and hanging baskets. The 9 Pattern RainSelect™ nozzle lets you adjust from a fine mist to a strong stream. The Seedling Nozzle delivers a half gallon of water per minute in a cone-shaped mist, making it perfect for fragile plants, delicate seedlings, and plant cuttings.
From larger containers and mature plants to delicate seedlings, DRAMM Rain Wands™ ensure gentle, thorough watering every time.
Options for Your Comfort
DRAMM Rain Wands™ are available in 16-inch and 30-inch lengths, as well as a 36-inch Hanging Basket Rain Wand™ with a 90-degree bend. All DRAMM Rain Wands™ provide flexibility for greenhouse benches, in ground plants, raised beds, and hanging baskets.
Multiple shut-off options offer precise control:
Quarter Turn Shut-Off with Classic™ and Sunrise™ A simple quarter turn of the large ergonomic handle shuts the water off, even when your hands are wet. Engineered to withstand higher water pressures.
Brass Shut-Off with ColorMark™ Made of heavy-duty brass with a quarter turn ergonomic handle for quick shut off. Built for durability and higher-pressure performance.
Thumb Controlled Shut-Off with One Touch™ Provides complete water flow control with a single touch of your thumb. Helps conserve water while moving from plant to plant.
Lever Activated Shut-Off with Touch N Flow™ and Kaleidoscope™ Simply squeeze the lever to water and release to stop. Ideal for efficient watering as you move between plants.
Made from high quality aluminum, Rain Wands™ are lightweight yet durable. Each wand is assembled in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure long lasting performance.
Quality You Can Count On
At DRAMM, durability is standard. Rain Wands™ undergo drag tests, impact tests, and extensive shut off valve testing to ensure they meet professional performance standards.
