Seems like an interesting idea. But I am confused after reading the PNAT study listed on your site. I thought the trick to Clairy is that the fan forces air into the root system. Yet, in the PNAT study they sprayed the pollutant at the top instead of the fan intake. Ie, the flow direction was reversed. Why? Also, how does this compare with a HEPA filter in terms of efficiency?

@johahnleung it is weird, as far as i know it's a one way system - the leaves take in light and some chemicals - it gets turned into energy and the chemicals get broken down and stored in the soil.

@johahnleung the GIF above explains the path of the air. Polluted air from the above is forced in the roots and then it comes out from the front grid. We are conducting several other tests and also related to comparing them with other filtering systems, we will keep you updated! Cool thing about Clairy is that you don't have to change filters nor spend money for them, all natural.

@gooderdle no, only the roots. Please find a better explanation in my previous comment!

@paolo_ganis thanks I didn't see the Gif before. Does it need a particular type of soil to ensure good airflow and without blocking the fan? Great would love to see some filtering comparisons.

how long it takes to purify air? And i wonder if the whole room will start smelling like soil – especially if you have planted with compost in them

@santosh1208 386 cubic feet in one day more or less, and then it keeps it at good quality levels. No smell of soil has been found by our beta testers! ;)

What's the difference with having few plants inside the house vs your machine?

@mirmayne the purification properties that some plants have, happen in the roots of the plant and not in the leaves. In the roots there are microorganisms that process toxic agents. This is why traditional flowerpots don't get enough air in the roots and do not trigger the full purifying properties of the plant, as PNAT (the independent research lab that conducted the laboratories test) has stated. Thanks to the Clairy system, which forces continuously and directly the air in the roots, we can enhance the purifying properties of the plants and get a significante, between 85%-93%, filtering of toxic agents.

@paolo_ganis So basically this is only useful by using it with a specific flower? I wasn't aware of such flower. It'll be tough to convince someone who is used to having flowers in their home to replace it with the aid of a machine. I'm into tech so that's why I'll give your machine a go 😉

@mirmayne Thanks!;) So yes, in the '80 NASA made a list of 16 plants that have these properties. The Sansevieria Trifasciata (or Snake Plant), for example is one of the best ones! Very powerful and really easy to take care of. Well let's put it like this, we think it's much better to have a design flowerpot powered by nature and technology as an Air Purifier instead of a traditional electronic air purifier that is big, bulky, made of plastic and that only works with filters that are expensive and have to be replaced often! ;D

@_vojto ^_^ thanks to Wi-Fi we can measure the quality of pollutants in the air and give important information via APP to our users so they can get aware of the problems related to Indoor Pollution which is huge threat to our health but it's invisible! This said, we have a special functionality that can deactivate completely the Wi-Fi so that you can also use the Clairy without it!

I like the idea, I just don't see it being effective.

@gabriel__lewis An independent research lab has conducted several laboratory test on it and proved the effectiveness! Please view our Kickstarter or Indiegogo page to find info about the result!
