"Over the years I have seen and tested a large number of gadgets designed to get rid of toilet odours, from double walled ceramic toilets that had an exhaust pipe to the outdoors, to exhaust ducts that fitted under the tank and various carbon filters situated under the seat. Finally a New Zealand device has come out that got it right.
They fit a fan with a replaceable carbon filter right inside the toilet tank, which draws its air from the overflow tube. That means that it draws from inside the toilet rim, but without trying to make a special toilet. When you are sitting down, you act as part of the system allowing the fan to efficiently draw all the odours up into the filter. The entire thing is hidden inside the bowl so it makes for no extra cleaning problems. A motion sensor taped to the wall turns it on and off -- either wireless or wired. It is really well thought through and in fact it works. It may not be so nice to say, but you no longer have to fear tailgating someone who is just leaving the toilet. If there is no moisture source like a shower in the washroom, you don't even need an exhaust fan in the room, saving a lot of trouble for that extra toilet. In the master bathroom, you trap the odours before they fill the rest of the room.
It won't fit all toilets, but works fine on most. If you have a float ball, you will need to replace it with a more compact valve system as is common on most modern toilets. Most installations require very little work. Yes I do recommend this product. For more details than you ever wanted to know about a toilet, check out www.panfan.ca"

"Elmswood Lodge is a 36 bedded resthome. Our Home was built in the 1980s and at that time Aged Care facilities were built without ensuites/toilets. Over the last 2 years we have been renovating the home to put in ensuites/toilets. Being a Resthome, one thing we always are conscious of, is having those “certain odours” under control. We try to eradicate odours wherever possible, with out over doing the air fresheners, which only seem to add to the odours problem. Most of our new ensuites do not have outside ventilation and it was a major request that we find a product that will eradicate odours effectively and with those few that do have windows the safety aspect of putting in a Panfan meant residents didn’t have to leave a window open for fresh air. We were introduced to the Panfan, which was easily installed into our toilet cistern. It automatically activates and draws the odours from the toilet. It is just prefect for our needs. They are quiet and you don’t even realize they are there.
I would recommend these units to companies or individual who like us can’t afford to have odours lingering or for security reasons don’t like leaving those bathroom windows open."

"At the recommendation of friends, we had Panfans installed in our new home. We moved in three months ago and just had to let you know that they are the best thing we had installed. They are the greatest thing since sliced bread."
