Plug-In Wall Diffuser — Plug-In Socket Unit

• Remove the unit from the packaging
• Insert the fragrance cartridge by removing the cap, inserting cartridge nose-first and pressing until it clicks
• Plug the unit directly into any standard wall socket (Singapore/Malaysia: 3-pin BS1363 or Type G; Australia: Type I flat pin; US: Type A/B; UK: BS1363 Type G)
• The unit powers on automatically
• Open the Scent Swirl app or use the manual dial to set intensity (start at 20–30% for most spaces)
• Programme the 7-day schedule (start/stop times by day of week)
• Done. Total time: 3–5 minutes. No tools required.

Wall-Mounted Diffuser — Wall-Mounted Unit

• Identify the mounting position: height 2–2.5m from floor, on the wall facing the space (not facing a wall), with no obstructions within 1m
• Choose mounting method: screw bracket (drill 2 pilot holes, insert wall plugs, screw bracket plate) or self-adhesive plastic bracket (clean wall surface, peel backing, press firmly for 60 seconds, allow 24 hours before hanging unit)
• Hang the unit on the mounted bracket
• Insert fragrance cartridge (same as Boutique)
• Connect power via included cable to nearest wall socket
• Programme via the app or manual controls
• Done. Screw bracket: 10–15 minutes with a drill. Self-adhesive: 5 minutes.

Floor-Standing Diffuser — Column Unit

• Position the column against a wall or architectural feature — not in the centre of a traffic flow path
• Place on a level floor surface
• Insert fragrance cartridge
• Connect power to nearest wall socket
• Programme intensity and 7-day schedule
• Done. No tools required. Reposition as needed at any time.

AHU Diffuser — HVAC Duct Integration

• Our technician visits your site (Singapore or Malaysia) at a time that suits your operating schedule — typically 1–2 hours, conducted in the plant room
• The diffusion unit is connected to one of your existing air handling ducts using a purpose-built injection system
• No modification to the ductwork structure — the connection is removable at any time
• Unit is programmed and tested for fragrance distribution before the technician leaves
• Total disruption to your facility: zero. The work is entirely in the plant room, not the member-facing space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an electrician for any of the plans?

No. All Scent Swirl plans connect to standard wall power sockets. No hardwired electrical connections are required for any plan. The AHU duct integration is a plant room installation — the diffusion unit connects to the ductwork and plugs into a plant room socket.

Can I move the diffuser to a different position after installation?

Yes. Plug-In Wall and Floor-Standing units are freely repositionable at any time. Wall-Mounted units can be unclipped from the bracket and remounted in a new position — the self-adhesive bracket can be removed cleanly from most wall surfaces.
