5. Operating Principles
The Airwell 1PR120006 air filter operates passively as part of your HVAC system's air circulation. As air is drawn into the unit, it passes through the filter media. The filter's fine mesh traps airborne particles such as dust, pet dander, pollen, and other allergens, preventing them from recirculating into your living space and from accumulating on the internal components of the air conditioner. This process helps maintain indoor air quality and ensures the efficient operation and longevity of your Airwell unit.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your air filter is crucial for optimal performance and air quality.
- Inspection: Inspect the filter monthly, especially during periods of heavy use (e.g., summer, winter).
- Cleaning/Replacement: Depending on your specific Airwell unit and filter type, the filter may be washable or require replacement. The 1PR120006 is typically a replacement filter. Replace the filter every 1-3 months, or more frequently if you have pets, allergies, or live in an area with high air pollution. A dirty filter can restrict airflow, reduce system efficiency, and potentially damage your unit.
- Disposal: Dispose of old filters responsibly according to local regulations.
7. Troubleshooting

| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
