OdourClean vs Puresan vs Sanair — Let's Compare!

Maintaining hygienic, odour-free washrooms requires more than periodic manual cleaning. In busy commercial environments, bacteria, uric acid build-up, staining, and unpleasant odours can return quickly between service visits.

Automatic dosing dispensers provide a continuous solution — delivering controlled amounts of cleaning and deodorising fluid directly into the WC or urinal system with every flush.

At Unicorn Hygienics, we offer three specialist dosing systems designed to suit different environments, installation requirements, and budgets:

  • OdourClean — Gravity-fed simplicity
  • Puresan — Flexible pump-operated installation
  • Sanair — High-capacity dual-action performance

Here’s how they compare.

 

OdourClean — Simple, Cost-Effective Continuous Dosing

OdourClean is the simplest and most economical system in the range. Using a gravity-fed drip mechanism, it continuously doses cleaning fluid into the cistern or pipework without requiring batteries, pumps, or motors.

Its uncomplicated design makes it highly reliable while keeping both installation and ongoing servicing costs low.

Unlike cartridge-based systems, OdourClean uses bulk 25L liquid refills, making it particularly cost-effective for facilities managing ongoing consumable costs.

Best For:

  • Budget-conscious facilities
  • Standard washroom layouts
  • Low-maintenance environments
  • Sites without power access

Key Features:

  • Gravity-fed continuous dosing
  • No power required
  • Wall-mounted installation
  • Compatible with cisterns and pipework
  • Uses 25L bulk liquid refills
  • Multiple fragrance options available
  • Custom branding available
  • 1-year warranty

Ideal Applications:

OdourClean is best suited for smaller sites, standard washroom layouts, or facilities looking for dependable washroom hygiene at the lowest operational cost.

 

Puresan — Flexible Installation for Restricted Spaces

Puresan is designed for environments where gravity-fed systems are difficult or impossible to install.

Its integrated pump-operated system allows installation above or up to 0.5m below the cistern, giving facilities teams far greater flexibility during installation.

The system uses a 310ml cartridge refill and offers programmable 30 or 60-day dosing intervals for predictable maintenance scheduling.

Puresan also includes several installer-focused features, including a built-in spirit level, tamper-resistant housing, concealed wiring, and battery/refill warning LEDs.

Best For:

  • High-level cisterns
  • Restricted installation areas
  • Concealed or awkward washroom layouts
  • Facilities requiring controlled dosing intervals

Key Features:
  • Pump-operated dosing system
  • Operates using 2× AA batteries
  • Up to 3,000 metered doses per refill
  • 30 or 60-day programmable intervals
  • Below-cistern installation capability
  • Built-in spirit level
  • Tamper-resistant design
  • Keyed or unkeyed locking options
  • Battery and refill warning LEDs
  • 1-year warranty

Ideal Applications:

Puresan is ideal for difficult installations where access, height, or pipework positioning prevents the use of standard gravity-fed systems.

 

Sanair — High-Capacity Dual-Action Cleaner & Air Freshener Diffuser

Sanair is the highest-capacity and highest-coverage system in the range.

Its dual-action design combines liquid dosing with integrated ambient air freshening. While the system continuously delivers cleaning fluid into the WC or urinal, a built-in wick diffuser simultaneously releases fragrance into the washroom air.

Designed for busy commercial environments, Sanair can also serve multiple fixtures from a single unit, improving efficiency while reducing servicing demands.

The system uses a larger 610ml cartridge capable of delivering over 6,000 metered doses.

Best For:

  • High-traffic washrooms
  • Commercial and public facilities
  • Multi-fixture servicing
  • Washrooms needing continuous fragrance control

Key Features:

  • Dual-action cleaning and fragrance system
  • Gravity-fed dosing with wick diffuser
  • Operates using 2× D-cell batteries
  • Over 6,000 metered doses per refill
  • Ambient air freshening built in
  • Can serve multiple fixtures
  • 30 or 60-day programmable intervals
  • Tamper-resistant housing
  • Concealed wiring
  • Keyed or unkeyed locking options
  • Battery and refill warning LEDs
  • 1-year warranty

Ideal Applications:

Sanair is purpose-built for larger, high-traffic washrooms where hygiene, fragrance control, and servicing efficiency are priorities.
