They are often referred to as HEPA, but offer much more than the name suggests. These filters are specifically designed to remove very small particles from the air, including dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, and allergens. They have a MERV 17 rating. True HEPA filters capture particles as tiny as 0.3 microns in size, with an astonishing efficiency of 99.97%. So, if you suffer from allergies related to dust particles, airborne allergens, mold spores, or even tiny airborne particles like smoke (those larger than 0.3 microns),

Such a device captures airborne mold spores, preventing them from attaching to moist surfaces and minimizing their presence in the air you breathe.However, an air purifier can’t eliminate mold from walls or other surfaces. For such cases, calling or consulting a professional mold remover is necessary. Furthermore, an air purifier with UV-C light can kill mold spores, but usually only the mold spores that are spreading near the UV-C light during the airflow. It’s important to note that mold spores are invisible, making them challenging to fight. But you

Coway air purifiers feature a range of light indicators that represent different information, but it’s the air quality and filter reset indicators that often make people worried. Apart from these two, your Coway may also have indicators for WiFi connectivity, currently active features, fan speeds, etc. Let me put things simple. If you notice a small indicator near the filter reset button lights red, that’s your signal that it’s time to replace the air purifier’s filter
