How does Molekule work?
Molekule uses a patented technology called Photo Electrochemical Oxidation (PECO) to destroy pollutants at the molecular level. It works by drawing in air and passing it through a pre-filter to capture larger particles. Then, the air passes through a nano-filter coated with a proprietary catalyst that breaks down pollutants, including allergens, mold, bacteria, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), into harmless molecules.
What types of pollutants can Molekule remove?
Molekule can remove a wide range of pollutants, including allergens, mold, bacteria, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is particularly effective at eliminating pollutants that are smaller than 0.3 microns, which are often the most harmful to human health.
How often do I need to replace the filters in Molekule?
The pre-filter in Molekule should be replaced every three months, while the PECO-Filter should be replaced every six months. However, the actual lifespan of the filters may vary depending on usage and air quality. The Molekule app can provide you with real-time filter life updates and notifications when it's time to replace them.
Can Molekule help with allergies?
Yes, Molekule can help with allergies. It is designed to capture and destroy allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores, providing relief for allergy sufferers. The PECO technology used in Molekule is effective at removing allergens from the air, helping to create a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.
How loud is Molekule?
Molekule operates at a sound level of 30-55 decibels, which is similar to a quiet conversation or a whisper. It has a sleep mode that reduces the fan speed and noise level, making it even quieter for use in bedrooms or other quiet spaces.
Can I control Molekule with my smartphone?
Yes, Molekule can be controlled and monitored using the Molekule app, available for iOS and Android devices. The app allows you to adjust the fan speed, set timers, receive filter replacement notifications, and monitor the air quality in real-time, all from your smartphone.
How much energy does Molekule consume?
Molekule is energy-efficient and consumes approximately 20-80 watts, depending on the fan speed setting. It is designed to be energy-conscious and has been awarded the Energy Star certification for its energy-saving capabilities.
Can Molekule be used in large rooms?
Yes, Molekule is suitable for use in large rooms. It is designed to cover up to 600 square feet of space, making it effective for use in living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and other larger areas. If you have multiple units, you can place them strategically to ensure optimal air purification throughout the room.
