FAQs
What are the main benefits of an aeroponic system?+
Aeroponics delivers an oxygen-rich nutrient mist directly to the roots. This leads to faster growth rates, higher yields, and up to 95% less water consumption compared to soil. It's a highly efficient method for growing healthy plants.
Is the Alien AERO system difficult to assemble?+
No, it's designed for easy assembly. The kit uses threaded fittings and snap-on pipes, so no glue is required. This makes setup, cleaning, and any future reconfigurations straightforward.
What size reservoir tank do I need for this 6-pot kit?+
We recommend a reservoir with a minimum capacity of 30 gallons (120 liters). While you can use your own, the
Alien GardenTank - 30 Gallon is a perfect match for this system.
Can I expand this system later on?+
Absolutely. The Alien AERO system is modular and scalable up to 36 pots. You can easily add more pots as your garden grows, making it a great long-term investment. Explore the full range of
Alien Hydroponics systems to see all available options.
How does the system prevent roots from clogging the pipes?+
The system uses two key features: patent-pending Dual-Flow™ fittings that are designed to be free-flowing, and copper-plated drain covers that act as a natural root deterrent, preventing them from entering the pipework.
What is the difference between this AERO system and an RDWC system?+
The AERO system is a true aeroponic system, misting bare roots with nutrients. An RDWC (Recirculating Deep Water Culture) system, like the
Alien RDWC - 6 Pot system, submerges the roots in a highly-oxygenated nutrient solution. Both are effective, but aeroponics can offer faster growth due to maximum oxygen exposure at the root zone.
