Alien Hydroponics Aero 10Pot

Product detailed description

Plants in the Alien Hydroponics Aero system are watered with a fine spray of water and grow without a growing medium in an open basket. A powerful but quiet pump delivers nutrient solution to each growing container, where it is dispersed by two fine nozzles mounted on the underside of the lid. The duration and intervals of watering can be adjusted to suit the needs of the cultivated plants. The system thus gives the grower more control over the conditions around the plant roots.

Roots that are regularly misted with nutrient solution, but otherwise are freely in the air, can take in much more oxygen and nutrients. Crops grow like wildfire and you can definitely look forward to great results. Another undeniable advantage is that you have a better chance of avoiding problems such as root rot or disease.

The Alien Hydroponics Aero system can be set up as RTW (run-to-waste, used irrigation is drained away to waste) or as a recirculating system. Each option has its advantages, but with both you can look forward to efficiency in terms of water use (up to 95% less than in classic soil growing) and fertilisers.

Irrigation is controlled by the Rain Brain system, which operates both the irrigation and drainage pump. You can set the irrigation to last from 15 seconds to 5 minutes, at intervals from 30 minutes to 7 days. Before the nutrient solution reaches the plants, it is filtered to remove impurities.

Alien Hydroponics Aero 10Pot with ten pots is available in Silver (silver) and Black (black). You can also choose from two pot sizes; both variants are available in 15L and 30L.

A tank with a capacity of at least 100L must be purchased separately for the Aero system (we recommend Flexitank or the original Alien Hydroponics tank).

How do the Silver and Black systems differ?

In addition to the basic advantages, the Silver system has something extra:

• DualFlow 50 mm connectors - the larger diameter means a freer flow of nutrient solution, and they are also designed for better drainage
• 50 mm silver hose - the connecting hose is also thicker and reflects heat, so the solution does not heat up in it
• Containers and lids made of silver polymer - they reflect heat, preventing warming
• Drain with copper coating - roots will not grow into the irrigation system

Each package contains:

Containers, lids, hydroponic baskets, micro-sprayers, container bases, filter head, Rain Brain control system, Rain irrigation pump, drainage pump, power cable, 12V adapter, container clamps, lid clamps, nuts, washers, valve taps, siphon valves, necessary hoses, hose cutters, adjustable spanner, hose clips, and manual.

The Aero Black package also contains: drain covers, 32 mm connectors.

The Aero Pro Silver package also contains: drain covers with copper coating, Dual-Flow connectors and a silver distribution hose instead of a black one.
