There are a variety of different ways you can choose to scent your home when using essential oil blends. Whether it’s simply by applying direct heat with a burner, using the nebulization functions of a cold diffusion system or spreading your scents with vibrations — it’s easy to take advantage of these aromatic oils. Below, we take a look at ultrasonic diffusers, the way they work and the benefits to you.

How Does An Ultrasonic Diffuser Work?

Ultrasonic diffusers work by using vibrations to disperse their scented particles. Without the use of any heat or harsh chemicals, these diffusers use the simple principle of movement to work. So, how does it actually work? Well, once filled with your mix of water and scented oil (to the manufacturer’s specifications) the ceramic plate at the bottom of the device begins to vibrate. This creates ultrasonic waves that break the mixture up into tiny, microscopic particles. These highly scented particles are then dispersed into the air as a very fine mist — that’s kind of like a cold steam

Are They Different From A Humidifier?

These diffusers are not made for the sole purpose of humidification, but, yes, they may be used as one. Ultrasonic diffusers work on a lot of the same principles, especially in the case of ultrasonic humidifiers — where the technology is almost exactly the same. If you are using your diffuser in this way, you may wish to dilute your scented oil even further in order to create a more passive experience that utilises the water vapour more than the oil. 

What Are The Benefits Over Other Home Scenting Options?

Ultrasonic Diffusers don’t use any harsh chemicals or additional ingredients to spread their scent. A safe and effective product, they’re a great way to improve the smell of your home or office while also enjoying the nourishing aromatherapy associated with essential oils. As the oil in these devices isn’t affected by heat, you receive a pure, natural dose of the ingredients you’ve chosen. And, without the need for any oil burners or open flames, these sort of diffusers offer a safer option — especially if you’ve got very young, sick or elderly individuals in your household.

What Scented Oil Choices Are Available?

Perhaps the best feature of this innovative equipment is the range of scents available. You’ve got a virtually unlimited selection when it comes to what diffuser oils you want to introduce into your home. Whether it’s an energising scent to wake you up or a relaxing scent to help you wind down, you’re sure to be able to find what you’re looking for.

 

At Pura Air, we offer scented oils that include zesty, fresh mixes like citrus verbena, and warm, calming aromas like our chai spice blend (featuring a mix of cardamom, clove, cinnamon, vanilla and honey). 6 drops of our oil will usually be enough to scent 100ml of water, giving you a budget friendly method of home scenting that’s also effective. All of our scented oils are made right here in Australia and are available in 20ml bottles or a convenient 100ml refill (that will usually last around 4 months).

Uncontrolled garbage odours can quickly overwhelm commercial environments, affecting staff comfort, customer experience, and overall hygiene perception. That’s why PuraAir’s High Performance Commercial Odour Control Systems Series is engineered with multiple advanced air purification technologies to eliminate odours at the source while improving overall air quality. Our systems don’t just mask smells — they neutralise, disinfect, and purify using a powerful combination of air treatment methods. Multi-Technology Air Purification for Maximum Effectiveness UVC Germicidal & UV Ozone Technologies At the heart of the PuraAir UVC Series are high-output UVC (Ultraviolet Germicidal) and UV ozone-generating lamp technologies . UVC light helps disinfect micro-organisms such as bacteria, mould spores, and airborne pathogens that pass through the system. UV-generated ozone works by oxidising odour molecules and breaking down organic and chemical compounds responsible for strong garbage smells. The lamps used in our systems are manufactured to the highest standards and are guaranteed for a continuous working life of 9,000–12,000 hours . Each lamp is powered by a smart digital ballast with a pre-heat function , helping extend component lifespan and ensure reliable, consistent performance. Carbon & Particle Reduction Support While ozone and UVC handle odour molecules and micro-organisms, additional air purification methodologies can support overall air quality by helping reduce airborne particles and pollutants. This layered approach ensures both odour elimination and cleaner indoor air . Designed for Performance, Safety & Ease of Use PuraAir systems are built not only for effectiveness, but also for durability, safety, and ease of maintenance. Durable, Safe Cabinet Design The white powder-coated cabinet is lightweight, compact, and easy to clean. It features: A flush key lock and durable hinge system A door safety switch that automatically shuts the machine off if opened during operation, providing added protection for personnel Smart Monitoring & Controls Our systems make monitoring and adjustment simple: The LED indicator panel displays system settings and alerts you when lamps are due for replacement The ozone source indicator shows the ozone level currently in operation The ACC (Adaptive Command Control) allows ozone output to be adjusted to suit each customised application ACC can be managed via the remote-control option , during installation, or at scheduled servicing. An auxiliary socket is included to support remote-control functionality, making adjustments quick and convenient. For sites with advanced compliance requirements, an optional Ozone Safe Monitoring System is also available. Exclusive High Flow Air Distribution System (HFADS) The HFADS (High Flow Air Distribution System) is exclusive to the PuraAir UVC Series. This system includes a maintenance-free turbine blower designed for high output with whisper-quiet operation . The 25mm outlets deliver a high volume of ozone to ensure effective odour control, while the engineered airflow system also assists in cooling the internal components of the cabinet. This means the system is constantly working to eliminate odours and clean the air efficiently and quietly . Service-Friendly Modular Design The modular construction of the PuraAir UVC Series makes servicing and maintenance straightforward, reducing downtime and ensuring long-term performance. Backed by PuraAir Reliability Every unit is supported by a 12-month Manufacturer’s Warranty covering parts and labour , backed by PuraAir’s stand-in replacement guarantee . If warranty repairs cannot be completed on-site during assessment, we will provide an equivalent replacement system to ensure your odour control remains uninterrupted. The PuraAir Difference By combining UVC germicidal disinfection, UV ozone generation, advanced airflow engineering, and intelligent controls , PuraAir delivers a powerful, eco-conscious solution for commercial garbage odour control. The result? ✔ Elimination of stubborn waste odours ✔ Reduction of airborne micro-organisms ✔ Cleaner, fresher indoor environments ✔ Reliable, low-maintenance performance With PuraAir, you’re not just treating the air — you’re creating a healthier, more pleasant environment for everyone who walks through your doors.

As we welcome the New Year, the team at PuraAir would like to extend our warmest wishes to all our valued clients and partners. The start of the year also marks the peak of the summer season, a time when warmer temperatures, increased building occupancy, and higher waste volumes can create unique challenges for odour control and hygiene management. Summer heat accelerates the breakdown of waste, leading to stronger and more persistent odours. It also creates ideal conditions for flies and other pests, particularly in bin rooms, waste chutes, loading docks, and garbage storage areas. Without effective odour control solutions in place, these issues can quickly impact the comfort, health, and overall experience of residents, staff, and visitors. In high-rise residential buildings, these challenges are often intensified during the holiday period. With more people spending time at home, garbage volumes naturally increase, placing additional strain on waste management systems. Communal areas such as lift lobbies, corridors, and waste rooms can be especially affected if odours are not properly managed, leading to resident complaints and unnecessary disruption. This makes the New Year an ideal time to review your odour control and scenting requirements. Ensuring that existing systems are functioning optimally, and that solutions are appropriately scaled for summer conditions, can help prevent issues before they arise. Proactive odour management not only improves air quality but also supports hygiene standards, reduces pest activity, and helps maintain a pleasant living and working environment. At PuraAir, we work closely with building managers, facility teams, and property owners to deliver tailored odour control and scenting solutions that address seasonal demands. From waste room and garbage chute treatment to fly control and ambient scenting in shared spaces, our solutions are designed to perform when conditions are at their most challenging. Start the year with confidence. We encourage you to take this opportunity to assess your current odour control measures and ensure they are ready for the months ahead. Contact Rob Clarke from PuraAir on 1300 972 736 or 0147 714 268 today to schedule a summer readiness review or to discuss tailored solutions for your building. A proactive approach now can help prevent issues later and ensure your spaces remain fresh, hygienic, and welcoming throughout summer and beyond. Browse through our website for more information. We wish you a safe, successful, and refreshing New Year and look forward to supporting you throughout 2026.
