, by Tatianna Gerard, 8 min reading time
When was the last time you gave your air conditioning system a little TLC? While these trusty machines keep us cool and comfortable, they can often harbour hidden nasties like mould, bacteria, and allergens—silent culprits behind musty odours, frequent illnesses, and even respiratory issues.
This is where you might want to look into using the SAN-AIR Gel Diffusers to combat these problems. These innovative, natural products are designed to not only sanitise your air conditioning system but also decontaminate the air flowing through it.
In this guide, we’ll break down the two types of SAN-AIR gel diffusers—V3R Air Handler Gel Diffuser and V3R Split System Gel Diffuser—so you can choose the right one for your needs.
What are SAN-AIR Gel Diffusers?
When it comes to maintaining a clean and healthy indoor environment, SAN-AIR Gel Diffusers are exactly what you need. Designed with simplicity and effectiveness in mind, these natural products work quietly in the background to tackle airborne nasties like bacteria, mould, fungus, and spores—all while leaving your space fresher and safer to hang out in.
How do they work?
SAN-AIR Gel Diffusers sanitise the air by preventing bacteria from reproducing and cutting off the oxygen supply that mould needs to grow. As the product comes into contact with microbes—either in the air or on hard surfaces—it effectively kills them, ensuring your home or workplace remains a haven of clean air. Plus, they comply with AS/NZS 3666.2 standards, which focus on microbial control in air-handling systems.
But the benefits don’t stop there. SAN-AIR gel diffusers also help to:
- Eliminate unpleasant odours
- Reduce airborne illnesses
- Protect against allergens that can trigger hay fever, asthma, and other respiratory flare-ups
Why SAN-AIR?
What sets these gel diffusers apart is their focus on safety and sustainability. Made from natural ingredients—including SAN-AIR’s proprietary essential oils, purified water, and natural binding agents—they’re safe for use around babies, children, pregnant women, and pets. So, this means you can enjoy cleaner air with the peace of mind that no harmful chemicals are involved.
V3R Air Handler Gel Diffuser (For Air Handlers and Ducted Aircon Systems)
If you rely on a ducted air conditioning system or an air handler to keep your space comfortable, the V3R Air Handler Gel Diffuser is a must-have for maintaining both the efficiency and longevity of your unit. Designed specifically for larger, ducted systems and air handlers, this clever product does more than just clean—it actively protects your air conditioning system while ensuring the air circulating through your space is fresh and safe to breathe.
What does it do?
The gel diffuser works within the ducting and internal components of your air conditioning unit. As the gel slowly evaporates, it sanitises the system by targeting microbes in both incoming and outgoing air streams. This not only eliminates bacteria, mould, and other contaminants but also helps to:
- Extend the life of your air conditioner by reducing microbial build-up.
- Improve system efficiency, so your unit works harder for longer.
How do you use it?
Perfect for spaces ranging from 150 m² to 1,500 m², using the Air Handler Gel Diffuser is simple and hassle-free. Just place the tub in the return air well of your ducted air conditioning unit or air handler. It’s important to choose the correct size of gel based on your area size—whether it’s a small office or a large commercial space. (Refer to the handy table provided for coverage details.)

Consider using the Air Handler Gel Diffuser if:
- You notice musty odours coming from your air ducts.
- There’s visible mould in the system.
- Family members or employees are experiencing unexplained respiratory issues or allergies.
- You want to take preventative action to keep your air conditioning system clean and efficient.
V3R Split System Gel Diffuser (For Split System Aircon Units)
For those with split system air conditioners, the V3R Split System Gel Diffuser is the perfect companion to keep your unit running smoothly while improving the air quality in your home or office. Tailored specifically for these compact systems, this product works quietly yet effectively to sanitise your air conditioning unit and ensure the air you breathe is clean and safe.
What does it do?
Similar to how it is with the Air Handler Gel Diffuser, the Split System Gel Diffuser is specially formulated to decontaminate and sanitise both the internal components of your air conditioning unit and the air it circulates. As the gel evaporates, it targets bacteria, mould, and other harmful microbes in the system, helping to:
- Eliminate airborne contaminants that can affect your health.
- Neutralise odours to keep your space smelling fresh and inviting.
- Protect your air conditioner, ensuring it runs efficiently and reliably.
How do you use it?
Installing the Split System Gel Diffuser is quick and easy:
-
Open the front panel of your split system air conditioner.
-
Remove the air filter and clean it if necessary.
-
Place the gel behind the filter, then reinsert the filter and close the panel.
Once in place, the gel works continuously to sanitise and protect your system, covering areas of up to 80 m² and lasting up to 10 weeks.
When should you use it?
You’ll know it’s time to use the Split System Gel Diffuser if:
- Your split system air conditioner is emitting unpleasant or musty odours.
- You or your family members experience frequent respiratory issues, allergies, or illnesses.
- You want to enhance the cleanliness of your unit after cleaning or servicing it.
Ideal for compact spaces, the Split System Gel Diffuser ensures your air conditioner does more than cool your room—it creates a healthier, safer environment for everyone. Whether it’s for a small home, an office, or a bulkhead system, this diffuser is the perfect solution for sanitising split system air conditioners.
Comparing the two diffusers – Which one to choose?
Choosing between the two SAN-AIR gel diffusers is simple. If you have a ducted air conditioning system or air handler, the Air Handler Gel Diffuser is designed to sanitise and maintain larger systems effectively.
For smaller spaces with split system air conditioners, the Split System Gel Diffuser is the perfect fit. Each product is tailored to suit its specific air conditioning type.
The simple solution for clean, healthy air
Clean, healthy air is something we often take for granted—until something goes wrong. With SAN-AIR gel diffusers, you can rest easy knowing your air conditioning system is working not just to cool your space but also to protect your health.
By choosing the right diffuser for your air conditioner, you’re improving your indoor environment, reducing illness, and extending the life of your system. Keep your space mould-free, odour-free, and allergy-free with SAN-AIR—because healthy air is the foundation of a healthy home or workplace!
