Unpleasant odors from the drains and sweat remain in the dressing rooms in front of the showers. Although we had specialists clean the drains and tried replacing the ventilation fans in the past, we were looking for more effective solutions.
- Plasmacluster reduced unpleasant odors in the highly humid dressing rooms and contributed to improved comfort in the facility.
- Wall-mounted type unit was installed over the lockers, saving space in the limited area.
- Implementing well-known Plasmacluster devices was effective in improving our company's image.
Previously at our sports club, the air was stagnant in the dressing room in front of the showers, and drain odors and sweat odors tended to remain. We received complaints from our customers, so we tried various measures such as having the drains cleaned by specialists and replacing the ventilation fans. As we looked for in-depth solutions, we thought that installing air purifiers with a high deodorizing effect would help reduce odors and improve service.

Highly-rated space-saving wall-mounted type.
In the summer of 2016, representatives from our head office visited a general exhibition of fitness devices held in Tokyo and saw the Plasmacluster devices. During a demonstration using an ammonia-water solution, they experienced the deodorizing effect. They were also convinced by a leaflet introducing many examples of use in hospitals and welfare facilities. The wall-mounted type of device that could be installed in small spaces was highly rated. A demo unit was installed at our sports club for two weeks, and we actually experience the effect in the dressing room. Based on this, we decided to implement the units in each of our branches.
Reducing odors by installing in the dressing room. The air in changing room is also fresher.
Since implementing the Plasmacluster, the units have been running 24/7 on the “Strong” mode. Unpleasant odors around the dressing rooms have been reduced significantly. Customers' complaints about odors have dropped, and the facility's comfort has increased. The wall-mounted air purifier is equipped with a HEPA filter, which catches fine particles such as lint from the customers' clothing and pollen, etc. We are very satisfied with the Plasmacluster ion as it supports our hygiene measures.
Space saved by installing a wall-mounted unit over lockers.
At our facilities that have implemented the Plasmacluster, customers have told us that “the air is much fresher.” We are planning to add units as needed. We expect that installing the well-known Plasmacluster units will help to improve our company's image.
