Say goodbye to allergens and pollutants: the ultimate guide to changing your molekule air mini filter

Maintaining optimal indoor air quality is crucial for the well-being of your loved ones. The Molekule Air Mini is a powerful air purifier designed to remove pollutants and allergens from your home. Replacing the filter regularly is essential to ensure its effectiveness. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll provide step-by-step instructions on how to change the Molekule Air Mini filter, empowering you to keep your indoor air clean and healthy.

Understanding the Molekule Air Mini Filter

The Molekule Air Mini uses a PECO filter, which combines photochemical oxidation (PCO) and electrostatic filtration to eliminate a wide range of airborne contaminants. The PCO process breaks down pollutants at the molecular level, while the electrostatic filter captures particles as small as 0.3 microns.

Frequency of Filter Replacement

The recommended filter replacement frequency for the Molekule Air Mini is every 6 months or 2,000 hours of use. However, factors such as air quality, usage patterns, and pet ownership can affect the lifespan of the filter. Monitoring the filter’s status through the Molekule app can help you determine when it’s time for a change.
