Planning Diffuser Placement with Sockets, Joinery and Refill Access
SOSA · for interior designers
Placed beautifully, still easy to refill
The best placement disappears into the design but stays within reach. That takes a socket in the right place and a little planning around joinery.

The short answer
Mark power and refill access on the drawings early. Pawan needs a free wall socket in the room, with nothing blocking the mist. Vaayu can stand on a shelf or open niche, mount on a wall or fit on an HVAC return, using its supported mounting. Do not enclose either machine in closed joinery, and record the final location for handover.
On the drawings
Six checks
- Sockets. A free socket for each Pawan, at a height where furniture will not block it.
- Vaayu location. Shelf, open niche, wall or HVAC return. Allow for its adapter.
- Not enclosed. Mist needs open air. Avoid closed cabinets and tight niches.
- Refill access. Someone will open and refill it. Keep it within reach.
- Away from heat and water. Not near stoves, diyas, heaters or basins.
- Record it. Note the final location, oil and settings for the client.

Questions
Before you choose
What does each machine need?
Pawan plugs straight into a wall socket. Vaayu runs from its power adapter and can stand on a shelf, mount on a wall or fit on an HVAC return. Both need to be reachable for refills.
Can Vaayu go inside a TV unit?
Only in an open shelf with free air around it, never inside a closed cabinet.
Does it need civil work?
Usually not: Pawan plugs into a socket and Vaayu runs from an adapter. Wall or HVAC mounting depends on the site.
Are they noisy?
No. Pawan is silent in use, and Vaayu runs at under 38 dB, quiet enough for a bedroom, clinic or office.
