Molekule Air Pro (Silver, 27.9cm x 27.9cm x 58.7cm)

How does PECO technology differ from HEPA filtration?

PECO technology destroys pollutants at molecular level using Photo Electrochemical Oxidation, whilst HEPA filters only trap particles. PECO breaks down viruses, bacteria, mould and VOCs completely rather than collecting them. This FDA-cleared medical technology eliminates pollutants permanently instead of allowing them to potentially escape back into the air. Traditional HEPA systems require frequent filter changes as particles accumulate, but PECO destroys contaminants so filters last over 6 months.

What room size does the Air Pro effectively cover?

The Air Pro purifies spaces up to 93m² (1000 sq ft) effectively. This covers large living rooms, open-plan kitchen-dining areas, master bedrooms or small office spaces. The 123-watt motor provides sufficient airflow for these larger areas whilst maintaining quiet operation. For optimal performance, place the unit centrally with at least 30cm clearance around all sides to ensure proper air circulation throughout the space.

Can I control the purifier without using the smartphone app?

Yes, the Air Pro features a built-in touchscreen interface for complete local control without requiring the app. You can adjust fan speeds, switch between Auto Protect modes, check air quality readings and monitor filter life directly on the device. However, some users find the touchscreen interface less intuitive than the comprehensive smartphone app which provides detailed pollution breakdowns and scheduling features.

How loud is the Air Pro during operation?

On Quiet mode, the Air Pro operates at just 33dB - similar to a whisper or library environment. Standard mode increases noise levels when responding to pollution spikes, which some users find disruptive during sleep or work. The unit automatically returns to quieter operation once air quality improves. Six manual speed settings allow you to balance purification power with noise levels based on your specific needs and time of day.

What types of pollutants does the Air Pro eliminate?

The Air Pro destroys viruses, bacteria, mould spores, pet dander, smoke particles, cooking odours and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Smart sensors detect particles from 0.3 to 10 microns including PM2.5 fine dust and PM10 pollen. The PECO technology breaks down these pollutants completely rather than simply capturing them. This includes microscopic allergens, chemical fumes from cleaning products and biological contaminants that traditional filters cannot eliminate.

How often do I need to replace the filter?

Filters typically last over 6 months with normal household use. The device displays filter life percentage on both the touchscreen and smartphone app, providing clear replacement indicators. Filter longevity depends on local air quality and usage patterns - homes with pets, smokers or high pollution may require more frequent changes. Replacement filters cost approximately £99, making annual maintenance costs around £200 for typical usage.

Does the Air Pro work with voice assistants?

Yes, the Air Pro integrates with Amazon Alexa for hands-free voice control. You can adjust fan speeds, switch modes, check air quality and get filter status updates using voice commands. This proves particularly useful when the unit is placed in hard-to-reach locations or during nighttime operation when you don't want to use bright touchscreen controls. Google Assistant compatibility is not currently supported.

Is the Air Pro safe to run continuously?

The Air Pro is designed for 24/7 operation and produces zero ozone emissions, making it completely safe for continuous use around people and pets. The FDA has cleared this device for medical use, confirming its safety standards. Auto Protect modes ensure the unit operates efficiently without manual intervention, adjusting power consumption based on actual air quality needs. Continuous operation maximises air purification benefits and maintains consistent indoor air quality.
