1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe and efficient operation and maintenance of your Airdog X3 Air Purifier. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the product and retain it for future reference.
The Airdog X3 Air Purifier utilizes patented TPA active filtration technology to effectively remove airborne particles. Unlike traditional HEPA filters, the TPA filter is washable and reusable, offering a sustainable and cost-effective air purification solution.
2. Key Features
- Patented TPA Active Filtration Technology: With a high-pressure ion air filter, the X3 air purifier terminates harmful particles down to 0.0146µm, significantly more effective than HEPA filters which only handle particles above 0.3µm.
- Lifetime Reusable Filter: The washable and reusable TPA filter is made from Graphene, promoting sustainability and reducing long-term maintenance costs compared to disposable HEPA filters.
- Efficient Air Purification: Designed with 360° air circulation, it purifies spaces up to 942 ft² (87.47 m²) per hour (CADR: 120 CFM/204m³/h), effectively removing dust, pet dander, pollen, allergens, smoke, odors, TVOC, and Formaldehyde.
- Real-time AQI Reading: A built-in air quality sensor provides real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) readings, reflected by an indicator light (Green: Excellent, Yellow Green: Good, Yellow: Moderately Polluted, Red: Hazardous). Auto Mode adjusts fan speed based on AQI.
- Quiet Operation: Features a vertical tray construction that minimizes noise. In Sleep Mode, the X3 operates at a quiet 22dB, quieter than a whisper.
- Multiple Modes: Supports 4 purification speeds and includes Sleep Mode and Auto Mode to adapt to various needs.

- Pre-Filter: Designed to filter out larger contaminants such as pet hair and dust.
- Wire Frame: Contains emitter wires that activate the plasma field for ionization.
- Ionic Field Zone: An electric field that neutralizes microbes, effectively killing 99.9% of viruses and bacteria.
- Collecting Plates: These plates capture the charged particles, viruses, and bacteria after they pass through the ionic field.
- Catalyst Filter: Works to remove unpleasant odors and volatile organic compounds (TVOC) to deliver fresh, clean air.
