The Right Way To Fill Your Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser

Filling an ultrasonic aroma diffuser is a simple process. First, you need to choose a location for your diffuser. It's best to place it on a flat, stable surface, avoiding direct sunlight or fans, which could interfere with the diffusion process. Once you've found the perfect spot, it's time to fill the diffuser with water. Most diffusers have a water reservoir or tank with a fill line indicated inside—make sure you don't overfill it! After filling the reservoir, you can add your essential oils. Typically, 3–10 drops are enough, but you can adjust the amount based on your preference for scent intensity. With the water and oil in place, simply replace the lid, ensuring it's positioned correctly, and turn on the diffuser. It's as easy as that! Now you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the aromatic benefits of your ultrasonic aroma diffuser.

How to fill an ultrasonic aroma diffuser

Unplug the device and remove the inner and outer lid

Before you start filling your ultrasonic aroma diffuser, it's important to take safety precautions. The first step is to unplug the device from its power source. This is crucial as you will be handling water and essential oils, and you don't want any electrical hazards. Once the device is unplugged, you can begin the process of filling it.

The next step is to remove the decorative outer lid of the diffuser. This is usually the part that gives the diffuser its aesthetic appeal. It can be in the form of a decorative cover or a simple plastic lid. Removing this lid will expose the inner workings of the diffuser.

Now, it's time to remove the inner lid of the water tank. This is the part that covers the water reservoir or tank, which will be filled with water and essential oils. Removing this lid will give you access to the tank so you can begin the filling process.

With the outer and inner lids removed, you will have full access to the water tank. The water reservoir is where the magic happens, as this is where the water and essential oils mix to create the aromatic mist that fills your space. It's important to fill the tank with water carefully, usually up to a "max" or "fill" line indicated inside the tank.

Remember to always unplug the device and remove both the outer and inner lids before filling your ultrasonic aroma diffuser. This ensures a safe and proper filling process, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy without any worries.

Pour cool water into the tank, up to the 'max' level

To fill an ultrasonic aroma diffuser, you must first pour cool water into the tank. It is important to never exceed the maximum level indicated by the line inside the tank. The amount of water you add will depend on how long you want the diffuser to run for. Adding less water will result in a more potent fragrance, but adding more water means the diffuser can run for longer. Most diffusers have a water level line on the inside of the water tank or reservoir, but if yours doesn't, refer to the user manual for the recommended water amount.

Add 3-10 drops of essential oil

Now that you've filled your diffuser with water, it's time to add your essential oils.

If you're new to diffusers and aromatherapy, it's best to start with a lower number of drops and gradually increase the intensity as you become accustomed to the effects.

Some popular essential oils for diffusing include:

• Lavender Oil: Calming, relaxing, and helpful for sleep, anxiety, and stress reduction.
• Peppermint Oil: Improves concentration, focus, alertness, and respiratory support while providing a refreshing aroma.
• Lemon Oil: Energizing and uplifting, with detoxifying and cleansing properties.
• Grapefruit Oil: Uplifting and balancing, it can help reduce food cravings and relieve anxiety.
• Eucalyptus Oil: Great for nasal congestion and respiratory issues, it also acts as an insect repellent.
• Sweet Orange Oil: Improves mood, calms anxiety, and uplifts with its cheerful scent.

Put the lids back on and connect the diffuser to a power source

Once you have added water and essential oil to your diffuser, it's time to put the lids back on and connect the diffuser to a power source.

The lid must be positioned correctly so that the mist can only escape through the tiny hole in its centre. If it is not placed correctly, the diffuser will not build enough pressure to create a fine mist.

Now you are ready to switch the power on at the plug socket and then press the power button on the unit itself. The diffuser will begin to work immediately, although you will not notice the ultrasonic vibrations. The mist will start to rise after a few moments, and then you can sit back and relax.

Clean the diffuser after each use

To clean your ultrasonic aroma diffuser after each use, follow these steps:

Firstly, unplug the diffuser and pour out any excess water and oil. Always clean your diffuser when it is unplugged, as it is a safety hazard to keep it plugged in and running. It is also important to note that you should never submerge any part of the diffuser in water or get excess moisture into any control buttons.

Next, clean the reservoir. You can do this by wiping it out with a paper towel dampened with white vinegar, which will prevent any leftover oil from mixing with the next oil you use and avoid corrosion. Alternatively, you can use water with a small amount of all-natural dish soap.

After this, clean the ultrasonic plate or chip. Dip a cotton swab into rubbing alcohol and gently rub the plate or chip to remove any excess oil build-up.

Finally, dry and reassemble the diffuser. Wipe the diffuser with a dry paper towel and put it back together.
