Alien AERO 18 Pot 15L Pro Silver Series

Product Description

Alien AERO 18 Pot 15L Pro Silver Series is the premier aeroponic growing system from Alien. It gives you full control of your grow with both duration and timing of feeds entirely customizable. Powered by a near silent running RAIN pump, this closed loop, water-efficient aeroponics system enables you to grow monster plants at a fast rate using up to 95% less water than plants grown in soil. The Alien AERO 18 Pot 15L Pro Silver Series can also be used as a recirculating or RTW (run to waste) system.

How It Works

Alien AERO 18 Pot 15L Pro Silver Series is able to maximise nutrient delivery to ensure greater yields. As the roots are suspended in air and not encased in a substrate, both crop rotation and harvesting can take place much faster. The raised grid on the net pot's base staves off over-saturation and avoids issues including damping off and root rot.

How To Use And Assemble Alien AERO 18 Pot 15L Pro Silver Series

• Lay the pots down on their side. Fit the 50mm Dual-Flow™ fittings into the holes at the bottom of the pots. The rubber washer must be on the outside. Using the locating slots, slide the collars over the threads then secure the nut with the spanner provided. Tees are used on all pots except for the end of the line where elbows are used.
• Measure the distance between the barbed fittings. Taking note of the maximum pipe lengths, cut and fit the 50mm silver pipe. Use warm water or a heat gun to make the pipe more pliable.
• Place a pair of stands under each pot.
• Fit a tee to the header pot. Refer to the bird’s eye images for 2, 3 and 4 row systems. The 48-pot system is a 6-row system. Connect the header to the pots using 32mm tees & elbows. Locating the header further away from the system is possible with extra fittings available on the website. 50mm Dual-Flow straight & 50mm barbed tee.
• Place a drain cover in the bottom of each pot.
• The copper drain cover will deter the roots from entering the pipework.

(The copper will discolour after a period of time; this is a natural occurrence. We recommend replacing them after 6 months of use to maintain the performance.)

• Push-fit the pot clips into the slots on the side of the pots.
• Push-fit the two lid clips into the rectangle holes in the RAIN™ Lids and place one on top of each pot.
• If you have a 2-row system (4, 6, 8 or 10 pots), the valves with green taps are screwed directly to the header pot. Note: 4 and 6 pot systems may require the valves to be closed slightly to avoid splashing
