What should the architect not decide? The product and the size. Coverage is worked out against the scented volume - the entrance, reception, waiting area and corridor only, in cubic metres - and the honest version of that number is available after handover, not from a drawing. A clinic that specifies a ₹11,999 machine at design stage frequently discovers in month two that its scented volume is a third of what the plan implied. Draw the provisions, hold a budget band, and choose the hardware once the room exists.
Does SOSA install these, or offer a maintenance contract? We publish no installation service, no warranty terms, no annual maintenance contract and no spare-parts policy, so please ask us rather than assuming any of them exist. That is a genuine gap and it is better stated plainly than discovered later. What I can tell you is what the machine physically needs: DC 12V/1A at 5W, 165 × 80.5 × 215mm, 0.9kg, and the choice of standing on a surface, hanging on a wall or being mounted to an HVAC line.

Facts verified 24 August 2026 against the live SOSA product pages: the SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) is a waterless cold-air nebuliser rated to 1000m³, described by the manufacturer as approximately 2,000-3,000 sq ft, with a 400ml refillable tank lasting 90+ days depending on intensity and run hours, Bluetooth app and onboard button control, 1h/4h/8h/24h timers, adjustable intensity, operation under 38dB, DC 12V/1A at 5W (roughly 1.5 units of electricity a month on a ten-hour daily schedule), freestanding or wall and HVAC mounting, auto-stop and key-lock, and CE, RoHS and SGS certification. Being waterless, it adds no moisture and leaves no residue on surfaces or equipment. The SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) is an HVAC nebulising diffuser rated to 3,000m³, roughly 8,000-10,000 sq ft, with an 800ml reservoir, metal body, programmable schedules and operation under 42dB, and also runs standalone wall-mounted or lay-flat. Ambient scent is an interior and hospitality decision: it works alongside proper ventilation, cleaning and clinical protocol and is not a substitute for any of them, it is not a medical device, and SOSA makes no health, therapeutic or treatment claim of any kind and no claim that fragrance affects bookings, retention or spend. CE, RoHS and SGS are electrical and compliance marks, not medical approval. The hotel-inspired scents are SOSA's own original interpretations; SOSA is an independent brand and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any hotel named for reference. Coverage, fragrance usage and running cost depend on the space, settings and hours of use, and are confirmed on a consultation. Prices and availability are subject to change - see the live product pages.
Yes, and it comes to four lines on a drawing rather than a specification. Each of them is close to free while the walls are open and genuinely awkward afterwards, and not one of them obliges you to buy a machine at all.
Quick answers — read this first
Should my architect plan scent-machine placement while designing the clinic? Yes, but only four things, and none of them is the machine itself. A socket in the reception at mount height rather than at skirting level. A clear position on a wall with something solid behind it. A location out of the direct supply draught from the air conditioning and, where possible, near the return path. And access that staff can reach and clients cannot, because the machine has a key-lock and it is only useful if the machine is somewhere staff can operate it. Drawing all four costs nothing at design stage.What should the architect not decide? The product and the size.

The short answer
Short answer: Yes, and the list is short: a socket at mount height, a clear position with solid backing, a location out of the direct supply draught and ideally near the return path, and access staff can reach and clients cannot. Those four are cheap on a drawing and expensive in a finished wall. What the architect should not do is choose the machine, because the scented volume that sizes it is only knowable once the clinic is built and running.
The pick: plan for the SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 - 165 × 80.5 × 215mm, 0.9kg, DC 12V/1A at 5W, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounted - even if you end up buying a ₹749 reed instead.
Next step: send the reflected ceiling plan with the supply diffusers and return grille marked, and we will tell your architect where the four lines go - ask for a clinic scenting plan.

Straight answer
Should my architect plan scent-machine placement while designing my chiropractic clinic?
Yes, and the brief you give them is four lines long. One: a socket. A 5W machine running on DC 12V/1A needs an ordinary outlet, but it needs it in the right place - in the reception, at the height the machine will sit or hang rather than down at skirting level with a visible lead running up the wall. A socket added at first fix is a few hundred rupees of containment and cable. The same socket chased into finished plaster afterwards means dust, making good and paint, in a room clients are sitting in. Two: a mount position. The SOSA Vaayu is 165 × 80.5 × 215mm and 0.9kg, so it can stand on a surface, hang on a wall or mount to an HVAC line. If it is going on a wall, that wall needs something solid behind the plasterboard and a clear rectangle nobody has already given to a screen or a certificate frame. Three: airflow. Ask for the supply diffusers and the return grille to be marked on the reflected ceiling plan, then keep the machine out of the direct supply blast, which shreds a scent and throws it at the ceiling, and put it near the return path, which is what actually distributes it through the space. This is a five-minute conversation with the HVAC consultant while the drawings are live, and an unfixable problem afterwards. Four: access. The machine has a key-lock so the level cannot be quietly raised, and staff must be able to reach it to stop it within seconds if a client says the fragrance is too much. Those two requirements together mean a position behind or beside the desk, out of a client's reach, and not tucked into a service cupboard nobody opens. What the architect should not do is specify the product. Coverage is calculated against scented volume - entrance, reception, waiting area and corridor only, with the adjustment rooms, treatment rooms and examination rooms excluded - and that number is honest only once the clinic is built and running. Hold a budget band of ₹749 to ₹11,999 instead, and choose in month two. One more thing to be straight about: SOSA publishes no installation service, no warranty terms, no annual maintenance contract and no spare-parts policy. Check with us rather than assuming any of those exist. Fragrance is an ambience decision like lighting, seating or flooring, it sits alongside ventilation and cleaning rather than instead of them, SOSA products are not medical devices, we make no claim that scenting affects bookings, retention or spend, adjustment and treatment rooms stay unscented and should be marked as such on the drawing, and the clinician's judgement overrides any scenting plan.
Yes: a socket at mount height, a clear wall position, a location out of the supply draught, and staff-only access for the key-lock. Four cheap lines that keep an option open, and not one of them is a purchase.
The provisions are drawn for the SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999, which is the machine most likely to need them. Plenty of clinics that draw all four end up buying a ₹749 reed instead, and the drawing costs them nothing.

What the drawing is making room for
An object with dimensions, a plug and three ways to sit
The machine the four lines keep open
The provisions are drawn against a real object, so here is the object. Dimensions, weight, power and mounting are the four facts an architect needs; coverage is the fact you can safely leave until the clinic is trading.

The four lines, drawn properly
Three of the four are about services and one is about people. All four are conversations to have while the drawings are live, and none of them requires anybody to decide what to buy.
1
Lines one and two
The socket and the mount, at the right height
Put the outlet where the machine will actually be, not where the electrician would naturally put one. If the intention is a wall mount behind or beside the reception desk, the socket wants to be at that height and ideally concealed by the unit itself, so there is no lead looping down a clean wall. If the intention is a shelf, the socket wants to be behind the shelf. The mount itself needs a solid substrate: 0.9kg is not heavy, but a fixing into unbacked plasterboard in a busy reception will loosen. Ask for noggins or a plywood pattress behind the finish at the chosen position. And leave a clear rectangle on the elevation drawing, because in a finished clinic that patch of wall is exactly where somebody hangs a framed certificate.
Tip: Mark the machine on the elevation as well as the plan. Positions that exist only on a plan get lost when the joinery drawings are done.
The Vaayu is 0.9kg and 215mm tall, so the provision is modest - a socket, a solid fixing and a clear rectangle roughly the size of a hardback book.

Line three
Out of the supply draught, near the return path
This is the line that costs nothing at design stage and cannot be fixed later. Air conditioning is your distribution system whether you planned it that way or not. A source placed directly under a supply diffuser is blasted with cold air, and the scent is thrown at the ceiling and dispersed before it has done anything useful in the occupied zone. A source near the return path is drawn through the space and distributed. Ask for the reflected ceiling plan with the supply diffusers and the return grille marked, and position the machine accordingly. It is worth noting the flip side honestly: on a system with a shared return between the front of house and the cabins, you cannot fully keep the corridor scent out of the treatment rooms, and the correct response there is a lower dose overall rather than a cleverer position.
Tip: If the machine is going to be HVAC-mounted, the access panel has to be reachable by a person with a step ladder, not sealed behind a plasterboard bulkhead.
Wall or HVAC mounting is the Vaayu's real advantage over a bottle, and it is only available if somebody drew a position for it.
See SOSA Vaayu →

Line four
Access for staff, out of reach of clients
The machine has a key-lock, which exists so the intensity cannot be quietly raised by whoever opens up on a Monday. That only works if the machine lives somewhere staff can reach and clients cannot - behind or beside the desk rather than on a console in the middle of the waiting area, and not inside a locked service cupboard where nobody will ever touch it. The second half of the same requirement is the sensitivity protocol: if a client says the fragrance is too much, the correct response is to reduce or stop it immediately, apologise once and not explain, and that is only possible if the person at the desk can stop the source without leaving the desk. Draw the position with both of those in mind and the operational rule becomes easy to follow rather than aspirational.
A key-lock plus a reachable position is the pair that makes the rule work. The Vaayu supplies the first and the drawing supplies the second.

The SOSA principle
Four cheap lines on a drawing keep an expensive option open, and not one of them commits you to spending anything. That is an unusually good trade at design stage.
The provisions cost a socket. Removing the need for them later costs a chase in a finished wall and a repaint of a room with clients in it.
What actually goes on the drawing
Hand your architect this table. Four rows, three of them services and one of them a rule, and the right-hand column is the argument for doing each one now rather than later.
The SOSA plan
The four lines an architect can usefully draw
| What goes on the drawing | Why it is cheaper now than later |
|---|---|
|
A socket at mount height in the reception
|
A few hundred rupees at first fix against a chase, making good and a repaint in an occupied clinic afterwards. Put it where the machine goes, not at skirting level. View → |
|
A clear wall position with solid backing
|
A pattress or noggins behind the finish costs nothing while the wall is open. Afterwards you are fixing into plasterboard in a room where the wall is already spoken for by a certificate frame. |
|
A position out of the supply draught
|
Ask for the supply diffusers and return grille on the reflected ceiling plan. Out of the blast, near the return path. This one genuinely cannot be corrected later. View → |
|
Staff-only access, and the zero list on the plan
|
Reachable from the desk, out of a client's reach, so the key-lock and the stop-in-seconds rule both work. Mark the adjustment, treatment and examination rooms unscented on the drawing so later fit-outs inherit it. |
When to actually spend the money is covered in budgeting for scent in a clinic that has not opened yet, the airflow argument in full is in how central air conditioning affects fragrance distribution, and the placement rules for a finished room are in where to place a diffuser in a chiropractic reception. SOSA makes no health, therapeutic or wellbeing claim of any kind, and no claim that scenting affects bookings, retention or spend.
Four lines, and the drawings are the cheap moment to add them
Send the plan and the reflected ceiling plan, and we will mark up where the four provisions belong.
Ask the architect for a socket, a solid mount and a position out of the draught. Ask me about installation or warranty terms and the honest answer is that we publish neither, so ask before you assume.

Many clinics that draw all four provisions end up buying a reed at ₹749 to ₹849 or a Sukoon at ₹1,899, and the drawing was still worth doing. We publish no installation service, no warranty terms, no annual maintenance contract and no spare-parts policy - ask us rather than assuming. Fragrance is an ambience decision like lighting or seating, with no health, therapeutic or clinical claim of any kind. It works alongside your ventilation, cleaning and clinical protocol, never instead of them, SOSA products are not medical devices, and we make no claim that scenting affects bookings, retention or spend. Adjustment and treatment rooms stay unscented, staff must be able to stop the source within seconds, and the clinician's judgement overrides any plan. Ask for a clinic scenting plan and we will mark the drawing with you.

A note from Sonal
Architects ask me for a specification and I give them a socket, a rectangle, a draught note and an access rule, which I suspect is less than they were expecting. The reason the list is short is that everything else about this decision improves with waiting. Dimensions and services do not change. Coverage does, because the coverage question depends on a scented volume that nobody can measure honestly from a drawing.
The one line I would fight for is the draught. A socket can be added later at a cost and an inconvenience. A machine sitting under a supply diffuser cannot be argued out of the position it is in, and the owner ends up either accepting a scent that is thrown at the ceiling or running a cable across the room. Five minutes with the ceiling plan while the drawings are open prevents that permanently.
And where we have nothing published, I would rather say so than have your architect write in an assumption. We publish no installation service, no warranty terms and no maintenance contract. We make no health, therapeutic or clinical claim of any kind, and no claim that scenting affects bookings, retention, referrals or spend. Fragrance is an ambience decision, like lighting or seating. Adjustment and treatment rooms stay unscented, and the clinician's judgement overrides any plan. Made in India, and a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly should the architect draw for a scent machine?
Four things. A socket in the reception at the height the machine will sit or hang. A clear wall position with solid backing behind the finish. A location out of the direct supply draught and near the return path, taken off the reflected ceiling plan. And access that staff can reach and clients cannot. Nothing about the product itself, because that is a later decision.
Does SOSA provide an installation service for the Vaayu?
We publish nothing on installation, so please ask us rather than budgeting for a service that may not exist. Physically the machine is 0.9kg and runs on DC 12V/1A at 5W, so a wall mount is a straightforward job for whoever is fitting out your reception. An HVAC-mounted installation is a conversation for your mechanical contractor.
Is there a warranty or an annual maintenance contract available?
Nothing is published on either, so the honest answer is to ask us before you rely on one. I would rather write that sentence than let an assumption end up in your project documents. Where a specification needs a position on cover or spare parts, put the question to us directly and we will tell you what we can actually stand behind.
How high should the machine be mounted in a reception?
Within the air people are actually standing and sitting in, which usually means somewhere between waist and just above head height, and out of a client's reach. Avoid mounting near ceiling level in a double-height space, because the scent rises into the void and the occupied zone gets very little of it. Keep it away from anything warm.
Should the machine be mounted into the air conditioning?
Only if the duct work is accessible, the system runs during the hours you want scent, and the front of house is genuinely served by that circuit. On a shared return that also serves the cabins, HVAC mounting will carry fragrance behind the corridor, which is the opposite of the zoning plan, and a wall mount in the reception is the better answer.
