the aerium 3.0

Aerium was easier to setup and clean than I expected and turned the darkest shade of green in about 5 weeks, so I'm sure it pulled out a lot of CO2. Other than opening the window, this is the best option, especially during the hot & cold months here in the Northeast. A little pricy but a great long-term investment. Hoping office buildings and public areas embrace this concept and allow the aerium to be scalable.

After submitting my request to change my refill subscription from 60 days to 30 days, I didn't expect to receive a response for 48 hours or so. Instead I received a response in less than 12 hours. Thank you for the quick turnaround!

I am getting about 5 weeks before I need to change out. plants love the leftovers!

Although I think this is a great concept, I have found that opening my windows for a short period is the most effective. In Hawaii this is easy to do. The aerium does not bring the CO2 levels down enough on their own.

The first kit I received was fine. It became dark green after one month. In fact, very dark, But the second after one month is very pale. I am not dure it has enough algae for my room. Obviously, I followed the instructions. In particular, I added distilled water. Let us how it goes with the 3rd kit.

I believe I subscribed for it and am not receiving it. Please check.

I think the concept is great and I like to see the algae grow. I have a relatively large office with a CO2 sensor. Unfortunately when the Aerium is running, it doesn’t do much to affect the CO2 levels. Levels rise the same as they were before I had it. The system needs to be 20x larger to help reduce ambient CO2 levels in my office. From what I’ve read, humans emit 1 kilo of CO2 per day, so unfortunately the small size of they system doesn’t make a huge impact. I would love to see some way to have this system permanently sequester the CO2 I breath.

I am new to Algen Air and already have 2 Aeriums. It has been a long while since I have heard the term "photosynthesis" and excited to have it right in my home!!!
As for the Oxygen and Fresh Air within walls with immovable windows...it is the reason I can be in such a nice apart except for its lack of air flow...
Thank You for making all of this come together for me!

Lights are on always, so not appropriate for a bedroom where you need it the most.

Glass and valve assembly means it's a clean look but a simpler setup would be a fish tank bubbler on a hose that's replaceable.

I knew what I was getting into just wish for the price they'd have thought to control lighting separately since algae need time to rest...

The Aerium which facilitates photosynthesis produces Fresh Air as it states. It has operated in my environment which has immovable windows and seems to be the direction of high rise living.
I know that every home / office ought to have an Aerium.
If you have a pets they will love the sound of the bubbles...!

Some refills last as described. But my last refill arrived already very green and the Aerium got completely clogged within three weeks and had to be turned off.

The algae refill was delivered securely and the algae is growing healthily. Dark green color after a few weeks. Feathered seems like it sticks to the glass more than the mint.

Prompt superb customer service is a real treat. When the pump on my first unit went out, a replacement was provided in short order.

Unit bubbles merrily and algae growth is great, but pump can be dodgy. Fortunately tech support has been prompt and helpful

packaging was very clearly labeled and made it obvious which bag was algae and which was nutrients. seems good to me

Besides the cost - Feathered more expensive than Classic Mint.
Is there any difference between the two as far as Oxygen -generating capability?
Or is it one just better looking than the other?
Anyhow, I am enjoying my Aerium , knowing that it's refreshing my room with the Oxygen it generates.

A month in- good product, happy with the purchase. It sits next to me on my desk while I'm working. It's super cool to see the algae population change in color and concentration gradually from day to day, and the water bubbling sound serves as a nice backdrop.

To be clear, having separately done some work in air quality measurement, my expectations were not that this single device would make a difference in room level CO2. Perhaps it consumes CO2 equivalent to having 25 plants- that's good but one would need to get to high hundreds to low thousands of plant-equivalents to make a human-noticeable dent in a human-occupied room. But I'm a strong believer in voting with dollars and see this purchase and support of the fundraise as contributing a signal that personal CO2 absorption is a useful area of venture and research investment- because with venture investments we might well get a surprise 100x improvement in efficiency or capability in devices like this- and that would be a game changer.

So I can't recommend the device strictly for noticeable CO2 reduction- that's just not possible on any technical platform at the moment. But it's really cool to look at and listen to and it's exciting to have an "early days" product that down the road could have a huge impact.

A scheduled automatic delivery makes no sense for this product, because it will be used up on an unpredictable schedule. With dog biscuits, you could find a substitute before next scheduled delivery if you ran out. If , on the other hand, you still had some biscuits left when next delivery came, you could give them to one of your dog’s friends. Neither adjustment is available with Algen refills. Each customer should have an account, to use to order refills a few days before needed.

Unit works well in reducing carbon dioxide. But how do you know when you need refills and how to clean out unit?

aerium refill kit

The last batch arrived clear and after very fast & impressive customer service sent me a [free] replacement, we are back up and running!

The subscription service works very well! Every 2 months, a shipment arrives and I lose no time growing the algae (spirolina)!

need more. love it

aerium subscription refill

I'm not sure how much oxygen it can actually produce but looking at it makes me feel good.
The algae turned very dark in only a few weeks so I don't think you can last 2 months between refills. I wish it wasn't so loud
