The Alien Systems 50mm Barbed Elbow is available in case the original sustains damage or is lost. For use connecting the Alien 50mm Silver pipe together. The triple barbs on each end ensure a tight fit, with no leakage.
How does the Rain system work?
When the Alien Rain system is on, water pumps to the Rain tray on the top of each pot. These trays have multiple holes across the surface through which the water drips onto the media. As it covers the whole surface, there are no dry spots and no over wet areas. Plant roots can then use the entire volume of media, rather than just where a dripper is (for example). The volume of water that runs through the media is high, flushing away the old nutrient and water, replacing it with new. Your plants will have the freshest water and nutrients possible with every feeding. As the media dries, it does so uniformly too, further improving the root zone conditions and making for a more reliable and stable grow.
How does the Alien Aero System work?
Alien Aero Systems are a sophisticated aeroponics system that free your plants roots from soil and other medias. The roots hang in the air from the bottom of a net pot while a high pressure pump powers sprinklers, directly spraying them with water and nutrients. After dripping from the roots, the water pumps back to the reservoir or to waste, whichever you choose. With no resistance to a media, roots grow explosively showing daily visible gains.
