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.
