Great tutorial.

[@AromaRetail]

Glad you liked it!

I have a condo-type closet HVAC with the open face filter. It has the plaster-like plenum directly above the air intake filter. Is it okay to run the tube into the plenum? Also, that would be the low pressure area correct?

[@AromaRetail]

the plenum may not carry enough of a pressure change to trigger the air switch. I would have to see where you want to put the tube, please send us a short video (or photos would work too) to [e-mail] if you haven't yet. A plenum is usually large and open space that allows air to flow freely, but not a duct. I would also recommend putting the tube either between the air filter and the fan (low pressure) OR after the fan between the fan and the room outlets (high pressure). After the fan is always preferred for optimal scenting!

[@hemophilia22]

My air flows through my furnace down and comes up through the floor vents, so do I put the diffuser on top of the furnace? Where the mist flows through the furnace and then up through the floor vents, or would this make the mist from the diffuser come in contact with the flame from the furnace and cause a explosion? Idk

[@AromaRetail]

Hello! Thank you for reaching out. We would love to assist you. Please email a picture of your set up to [e-mail] so we can troubleshoot. We look forward to hearing from you! :)

[@Michaeldashizz]

Which duct should this attach to? The air intake from the house of the main trunk coming from the air handler

[@AromaRetail]

we suggest three locations for placement, see the user guide here for visuals: aromaretail.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/NEW-Pro-Machine-User-Guide-2.pdf

[@nmoore8994]

I’m in a apartment unit. I know where the filter is but I’m not sure where to place the unit freestanding.

[@AromaRetail]

please see page 4 of our user guide here: aromaretail.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/NEW-Pro-Machine-User-Guide-2.pdf and call us 702 780 7370 for more help!

[@patbuschard9032]

Does the pressure switch come with the 1500 sq ft unit? It don’t say on your website

[@AromaRetail]

the Air Switch Kit is optional and can be purchased separately here aromaretail.com/miscellaneous/ OR see Products > Parts & Accessories

[@maconor007]

When adding the optional air switch, does the machine need to be programed to recognize the switch?

[@AromaRetail]

no, it does not need its own programming! it is triggered by a difference in air pressure once ported to HVAC. feel free to call us or e-mail us with further questions!

[@inhokim1494]

Thanks for the video. Just curious, isn't aroma oil flammable when exposed to heating elements?

[@AromaRetail]

there is no heating element in ANY of our Scent Machines. otherwise, yes, fragrance oils are flammable. our cold air diffusion prevents unnecessary warmth caused by the machine AND keeps the integrity of the fragrance. no heat generated by means you experience the aroma in its intended form.

[@inhokim1494]

@@AromaRetail I'm sure that the machine wouldn't have a heat element, the one I am referring is in HVAC. In your schematics, #1 location is only place where oil doesn't go through the heating element. Isn't it?

[@AromaRetail]

yes, #1 does not go through a heating / cooling element and is the ideal placement. locations #2 & #3 are also viable in spaces where #1 cannot be achieved & are SAFE before the heating / cooling element because the flashpoints of our oils are higher than inside an HVAC system. even at the flashpoint, it would need an ignition like an open flame to start causing trouble. the main reason we want people to TRY to put the fragrance after the heat exchanger @ location #1 is because the heat will cause more of the fragrance to evaporate before it is able to make it to the spaces.

[@nancyshen4861]

I need fresh air when it is blowing hot air (heating), will this work?

[@AromaRetail]

no matter if the air blowing is cool or warm, the machine will diffuse on the schedule you set. remember, the Air Switch is OPTIONAL and only necessary if your fan DOES NOT turn on every 6 to 8 hours to circulate air.

[@ChadMann12]

Would it be better to mount the machine where the output nozzle is directly under the air duct and have the tube come in from the bottom of the duct instead of the side? Then the tube is super short without any bends or distance so there’s no loss of vapor

[@AromaRetail]

placement UNDER is preferred! this allows any condensation of the oil to safely go back into the machine WITHOUT being trapped in any bellies, so make sure it's a straight line. you are welcome to bring our hose to a hardware store and get a longer one BUT the maximum length we suggest from nozzle to port is 4 feet. sometimes 6 feet is fine, just as long as there are no bellies along the way. this is why we provide a shorter hose.

[@whitneyhatch1007]

What if you have a split unit? I have one AC Unit in the attic that has two zones. So the first floor as it’s on thermostat and the second floor has its own thermostat.

[@AromaRetail]

one Scent Machine per air handler is what we recommend! some places have 2, one unit for upstairs and one unit for downstairs. in that build, two Scent Machines would make life easier. sounds like you have one handler. in that case, one Scent Machine will work since the main fan can only do one zone at a time.

[@darrell9599]

I HAVE A OUTSIDE UNIT HOW WOULD THAT WORK ?

[@AromaRetail]

please see the user guide for placement: aromaretail.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/NEW-Pro-Machine-User-Guide-2.pdf or feel free to call us 702 780 7370 so we can discuss options!

[@DarkmanzDecantz]

Will aroma360 scents work in this machine?

[@AromaRetail]

They should work fine, however, we haven't tested them so we could not guarantee optimal performance. We would love for you to try our fragrances, let us know if you would like some samples [e-mail]

[@DarkmanzDecantz]

@@AromaRetail I do use your fragrances, however, aroma 360 has a scent that matches Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille which is my favorite cologne. I wanted to try it, but don't want to ruin my aroma retail machine.

[@AromaRetail]

@@DarkmanzDecantz that fragrance does sound really nice. So glad you use our products, next time you order remind us in the notes to include a sample of Country Club. I think you would like it. Thanks for your business!

[@glutiusgaming]

Have you tried their scent in this machine? Curious if it worked

[@claudiovasquez592]

Can I put a longer hose on it ?

[@kayleewelch2957]

We recommend 4 feet to avoid condensation, you can clip it shorter but if it's too long you may not smell the scent!

[@AromaRetail]

we suggest the shortest distance needed from machine to duct! if you need to add one or two feet, then you should be fine. you'll know if the hose is too long if you cannot detect the fragrance.

[@erikap6697]

Is this the Home 101 unit?

[@AromaRetail]

No, this is the Scent Machine - Professional. This is the only machine we have that can be connected to HVAC.

[@EatLotsOfCurry]

Are your machines residue free and safe for pets, children, artwork and furniture?

[@AromaRetail]

all of our machines do not leave residue! our oils are safe for pets and children to be around as well as the rest of your household. the parts per billion that the machines diffuse will not impact artwork, but to be on the safe side, keep unprotected pieces out of the (direct) vicinity of the plume.

[@calvinstapleton7671]

How long does the bottle last?

[@AromaRetail]

up to one year based on settings at maximum, but if your space requires more frequent scenting, the average is between 2 to 8 months. our subscription is built to send every 2 months, see more here: aromaretail.com/shop/fragrance-product/27oz-refill-subscription/

[@user-qj7rw4wx7h]

After installation, the delivery of scents is only good in a specific room. The master room has a weak scent, the small room is strong, the bathroom is strong, and the living room is weak My house is on the third floor

[@AromaRetail]

the solution to this is relocating placement somewhere else in the H.V.A.C. system! in the user guide, we illustrate multiple places that it can go, and since you're experience an imbalance, it means you should move it to find a better balance. call us or e-mail us!

[@R0xanne.R0xanne]

I have 3 ac units.. Sheeesh.

[@AromaRetail]

Remember that each one needs its own machine for best results!

[@jasonseawright83]

Me too.. I'm wondering if the 2nd floor would fall down to the first and up to the 3rd lol

[@AromaRetail]

@@jasonseawright83 There will be some traveling of scent between floors depending on airflow and floor plan (walls, doors, etc), but it will not be very strong or consistent :-)
