When you choose an Airmega air purifier, you get advanced air cleaning technology that requires very little maintenance on your part. Thanks to features like Auto Mode, filter change indicators, and washable pre-filters, enjoying clean indoor air is hassle-free.
Is a Lot of Maintenance Required for an Airmega?
On Auto Mode, your Airmega will take care of your air without you having to press a button. But there are a few things you will have to do in order to ensure proper purification (and we're breaking them down below).
Why is My Airmega Making a Loud Noise?
When your Airmega arrives fresh out of the box, there's one crucial step that will ensure proper function. If you notice that your Airmega is making a loud noise, you may have skipped this step: Remove the plastic packaging from the brand-new filters inside your purifier, then install them properly.
Where Can I Put My Air Purifier?
Finding the perfect place for your Airmega is the first step in getting clean, fresh indoor air. Generally, we recommend placing near the middle of the spaces where you want clean air, like between a living room and a kitchen. Most purifiers are placed in a living space or bedroom (breathing fresh air while you sleep can be a life-changer!).
How Does Air Flow in My Airmega?
For larger units like the Airmega 300 and 400, the air flows in from both sides and out the top. For smaller Airmega models like the 150, air flows in from the front and out the top. Keep about six to twelve inches of space for wherever air flows in or out of your purifier. Also, don’t stack anything on top.
How Do I Clean the Air Quality Monitor?
For the most accurate reading possible, you can wipe the air quality monitor on the side of your Airmega with a cotton swab. Doing this every two months or so will keep it clear of dust.

3Aerosol test conducted in a Biosafety level 3 laboratory with two Coway air purifier models, Coway Airmega 250 and 400 for removal of SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol by US based MRI Global, a not-for-profit laboratory and partner of US Department of Defense. The test was conducted in a 13.1ft3 chamber. Virus was aerosolized for 15 minutes and the product was turned on high for 2 minutes. Result showed each product effectively removed over 99.98% of the SARS-CoV-2 in 2 minutes. This is a result from a laboratory experiment condition and result may vary in different conditions. This result does not imply it kills SARS-CoV-2 or prevents the transmission of Covid-19. Coway Airmega 250S and 400S are identical to the tested models and has equal performance with an additional mobile connectivity function.

5The coverage area of the air purifier is based on an area where the air cleaner can make two air changes per hour (ACPH). An air change per hour translates to how many times an air purifier can clean an area, assuming the height of a ceiling to be 8 ft, in one hour. Therefore ** means two air changes per hour means that the cleaner can clean the area once every 30 minutes and * means air changes per hour means that the air purifier can clean the area once every 60 minutes.
