AIRY compared to...

We are often asked what the difference is between the AIRY systems and a normal flower pot or technical devices?

Here is a brief overview.

AIRY vs. plants in normal pots

Normal plant pots bring with them a number of challenges: the plant "roots through" until there is no more room in the pot. This requires more care and makes repotting necessary later. The root system is generally not ventilated, so the plant's existing ability to purify the air in the room is hardly used. There is also an ongoing risk that the plant receives too little or too much water.

AIRY is clearly superior to standard plant pots in all of these respects, and this is also obvious to the layman: The structure of the inner mesh pot, for example, ensures that the plant roots stop growing as soon as they no longer feel any resistance ("air pruning"). This is the case as soon as they reach the slots in the mesh. While the hair roots of the plant are continuously ventilated by the AIRY system, the water-bearing roots can be optimally supplied by the existing tank. A growth comparison over 150 days has also shown that plants in an AIRY system produce around half as much biomass as the comparable plants in a conventional pot.

AIRY vs. HEPA Filter

AIRY removes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the room air. VOCs are among the most dangerous pollutants of all. A HEPA filter alone cannot do this; it must be equipped with activated carbon. But even then its performance is significantly lower.

While AIRY becomes more powerful over time as the plant and the microbes in the soil adapt to their environment, the effectiveness of a HEPA filter decreases until it is replaced. This refresh should be done at least once a year and is time-consuming and expensive.

AIRY, on the other hand, only needs daylight and a little water on a regular basis. No energy is used and no waste is produced.

AIRY vs. Electronic Filters

The efficiency of electronic filters decreases as soon as the filter fills with particles, the airflow decreases or becomes irregular.

In contrast, AIRY is completely independent of technical irregularities - and the air-purifying effect of AIRY even increases over time. This is due to the fact that the plant and the microbes in the soil substrate adapt to their environment.

An electronic filter requires regular maintenance and cleaning. This is time-consuming and brings the user directly into contact with the collected dirt.

AIRY, on the other hand, does not require any maintenance. A little water every few weeks and, if necessary, a little additional nutrition for the plant is completely sufficient.

Last but not least: an electronic filter is an electronic device with the appearance and necessities of a household appliance (power supply). AIRY, on the other hand, with its plant, is a natural addition to the interior design. And here, a plant alone often makes all the difference.

AIRY vs. ion air purifiers

Like all other technical air purifiers, powerful ion air purifiers are expensive. They also emit ozone, which can lead to problems with the air we breathe. In addition, these devices tend to contaminate household surfaces with fine pollutant particles that are difficult to remove.

AIRY does not have and does not cause these problems.

AIRY vs. Ozone Air Purifiers

Ozone is one of the most powerful sterilizing agents and is extremely effective against germs, bacteria and even odors. However, there are no devices available for private users that can use ozone at a sufficiently high level, because ozone is a gas that causes significant irritation and respiratory problems.

These devices also have the problem of surface contamination by fine pollutant particles that are difficult to clean.

AIRY does not have and does not cause these problems.
