Who This Is For
- You are moving to aeroponics because your current soil-based setup uses too much water and lacks oxygen at the roots.
- You are choosing a modular system because you plan to scale up from five pots without replacing your entire kit later.
- You are switching to copper-plated drainage because aggressive roots keep clogging your traditional plumbing lines.
What We Found
- The silver heat-reflective piping actually keeps the solution cool enough to skip a chiller in many indoor setups.
- We noticed the threaded Dual-Flow fittings stay bone dry even when the pressure pump is running at its max setting.
What Users Say
- Growers who switched from soil say the 95 percent water savings drastically lowered their monthly utility bills.
- Owners who expanded their rows say the snap-together pipes made adding more pots a twenty-minute job instead of a day.

Tired of traditional growing methods that limit your plant's potential? Unlock explosive growth and higher yields with the Alien Hydroponics AERO System. This 5-pot kit is engineered for growers who demand efficiency and performance, delivering a fine mist of nutrient-rich solution directly to the root zone for unparalleled absorption and rapid development.
This advanced aeroponic system uses up to 95% less water than soil-based gardening, making it a sustainable and cost-effective choice. The innovative design from Alien Hydroponics eliminates common issues like poor oxygenation, ensuring your plants thrive without interruption. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting, this kit simplifies aeroponics with its easy, no-glue assembly and low-maintenance design. It's a fantastic entry point into high-performance growing, and is fully compatible with other systems like the 8 Pot AERO System for future expansion.

FAQs
What is aeroponics and how does this system work?
Aeroponics is a method of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil. The AERO system continuously sprays a fine, nutrient-rich mist directly onto the plant roots, which are suspended in the air. This provides maximum oxygen exposure and nutrient uptake, leading to faster growth and larger yields compared to traditional methods.
Do I need to buy anything else to get started?
Yes, this kit requires a nutrient reservoir/tank, which is not included. The recommended minimum capacity is 30 gallons (120 Liters). We offer compatible reservoirs like the Alien Hydroponics 30 Gallon GardenTank, or you can use your own. You will also need your preferred growing medium (like clay pebbles) and nutrients.
Can I expand this system later on?
Absolutely. The Alien AERO system is designed to be fully modular and scalable. You can easily add more pots to your setup, expanding up to 36 pots. We offer various kits to help you expand, such as the 8 Pot, 2 Row AERO System, allowing you to customize the layout to fit your growing space perfectly.
How does the AERO system differ from an RDWC system?
The main difference is how nutrients are delivered. The AERO system uses a high-pressure pump to spray a fine mist onto the roots in an oxygen-rich environment. In contrast, a Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC) system, like the Alien RDWC, submerges the roots in a highly-oxygenated nutrient solution that constantly circulates. Both are highly effective, but aeroponics can offer faster growth rates due to superior root oxygenation.
How often should I clean the system?
Minimal cleaning is required, especially when using mineral-based nutrients. It's recommended to regularly check the main filter for any debris and inspect the sprinklers to ensure they are not clogged. A full system flush with clean water and a disinfectant is advised between crop cycles to ensure a sterile environment for your next grow.
