1. Product Overview
This filter replacement set is designed for use with the COWAY Airmega AP-1512HH and 200M Air Purifiers. It includes a True HEPA filter and two Carbon Deodorization filters, providing a comprehensive solution for maintaining optimal air quality.

- Auto Mode: The smart technology automatically adjusts the fan speed (low, medium, high) based on detected pollutants.
- Eco Mode: If air quality remains good for 30 minutes in Auto Mode, the fan switches to Eco Mode to save energy and reduce noise.
