What changes between these options
Water routine and oil compatibility depend on the supplied mechanism and manual.
Which option fits your hotel?

Compare operation and recurring costs
For Water-Based vs Oil-Based Hotel Fragrance Systems, record refill use, staff checks, installation requirements and the same period of operating costs. Ask for written assumptions rather than accepting a universal winner or guaranteed savings.
