How to Clean Your AeroGardenTM Pump

A Clean Pump Helps Keep Your Garden Healthy and Productive!

A Note About These Instructions

Cleaning an AeroGarden Pump entails disassembling a portion of your AeroGarden, taking apart the Pump, cleaning all the Pump Parts, and then putting the Pump back together.

We realize that not everyone is comfortable diving into the inside of an AeroGarden. If you are wary about taking your Pump apart, or get stuck anywhere during the process, please call Customer Service to discuss options for replacing your Pump.

Why Clean Your Pump

A clean Pump really does help keep your garden healthy and productive. Cleaning removes nutrient residue and/or plant roots that can clog your Pump and prevent the flow of water and nutrients to your plants. It also reduces Pump noise.

When To Clean Your Pump

We recommend that you clean your AeroGarden Pump after every Garden has reached the end of its life. This will ensure that nutrients and/or plant roots do not clog the water flow in your next Garden. The most convenient time to clean the Pump is during the “Prepare for Your Next Garden” cleaning steps, which can be found in the back of any Seed/ Plant Kit Guide.

In some instances, a planted AeroGarden may start to make noise. This can be a sign of residue build-up inside the Pump. If this occurs, we recommend cleaning the Pump at the time you notice the noise. This will not harm your plants.

Small flat-head screwdriver

Small pliers or tweezers (optional)

The AeroGarden PRO is a cutting-edge indoor gardening system that allows users to grow their own fresh herbs, vegetables, and flowers throughout the year, regardless of the season. This innovative garden utilizes advanced hydroponic technology to ensure optimal growth conditions for plants, making it suitable for both novice gardeners and seasoned green thumbs alike.

One of the standout features of the AeroGarden PRO is its capacity. With room for up to 24 different plants, users can cultivate a diverse range of produce in a compact design that fits conveniently in any kitchen or living space.

The LED lights are energy-efficient and adjustable in height, ensuring that plants receive the appropriate light as they grow. This feature not only maximizes growth but also optimizes energy consumption, making it both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Another key characteristic of the AeroGarden PRO is its nutrient delivery system. The system comes with pre-measured plant food pods that are specifically formulated to promote healthy growth. This nutrient solution is automatically dispensed into the water reservoir, taking the guesswork out of feeding plants and ensuring they receive the essential nutrients needed for robust development. The water reservoir is designed to hold plenty of water, requiring minimal maintenance and allowing for long growing cycles.

Integrated sensors monitor light, water levels, and nutrient levels, providing real-time feedback via an easy-to-use control panel. Users receive alerts when it’s time to add water or nutrients, ensuring their plants always have the best conditions for growth.

Moreover, the AeroGarden PRO is designed with user-friendliness in mind. Its easy-to-assemble components and clear visual instructions make set-up a breeze. The stylish design also means it can enhance the decor of any space, turning indoor gardening into an aesthetically pleasing pursuit.
