Metered Aerosol systems- Metered aerosol deodorizer dispensers are popular choice for deodorizing commercial bathrooms. The metered aerosol dispenser consists of a dispenser, typically mounted to the wall and consumable aerosol refills typically lasting around 30 days. The user programs the frequency of aerosol "sprays" metered by the dispenser base. the user can control the schedule the dispenser will run and the adjust frequency / intervals of the metered sprays.

 How Does a plugin scented oil warmer work?

 The Plug in Warmer is plugged into a standard 110 W outlet. It uses very little power, typically only 5 watts. The scented oil that fills the glass refill  base is evaporated upward through a fiberglass wick that is exposed to a ceramic heating element at approximately 150 Degrees Fahrenheit. Plug ins are ideal for smaller bathrooms in restaurants, small business, gas stations or hotels.

  • Scented oil warmers do require an outlet plug. Not all commercial bathrooms have an available outlet plug.
  • While the scented oil warmers do have fragrance control with an adjustable dial, the user does not have the same level of control as an aerosol dispenser
