Mount

This purifier is designed to be mounted on a wall. Therefore, you won't have to devote any floor space to it. All hardware that you need to mount it on the wall is provided for you.

Filters

The Soleus Air SA-150R uses two different types of filters. They include HEPA and activated carbon. It can detect which type of particles are contaminating the surrounding air. It will then switch to an appropriate cleaning mode in order to filter those particles. The HEPA filter handles big particles such as pollen, mold, and dust. The activated carbon filter deals with smoke and other smells.

Control

This air purifier is equipped with a simple three-button control panel. There are three operating modes and four different fan settings. On automatic mode, the UV sensors allow different particles to be detected and effectively filtered. There is also a timer that you can use to operate the unit for a specified period of time. With options of 1, 2, and 4 hours, you can set the timer up to a maximum of seven hours.

The control panel is also equipped with an indicator to let you know how the machine is functioning. A red light means that the machine is purifying the air, while a green light indicates that the machine has already done its duty.

Maintenance

The Soleus Air SA-150R air purifier also offers cleaning indicator lights. After approximately 300 hours of run-time, you will need to clean the filters and grid with a vacuum. Both types of filters should last about two years before they need to be replaced. You can occasionally clean the outside of the device with a slightly moistened towel.
