Presented more like an apology rather than a revolutionary invention, the Hydrosave Colour 7 Automated Vichy Shower comes to wash away the problems caused by its predecessors. The manufacturer, HydroCo, has been long criticized for the huge waste of water and energy that their Vichy Showers caused during treatment sessions. Also dubbed as the HCAVS, this new Vichy Shower is electronically controlled, thus, each of the seven shower heads can be individually programmed, even ahead of the therapist's movements.

This doesn't mean that the bather will not ask for more and more warm water, but at least when the therapist has the chance to save this precious natural resource, they will be able to do so. The maximum water savings percentage can reach 80% in optimal conditions with the new Vichy Shower. And here comes the advanced part.

The shower heads can be programmed to work in a predefined sequence on the bather's body and this way the therapist simply follows the shower flow. As an immediate effect of this ability of the new Hydrosave Colour 7 Automated Vichy Shower, there is no need for as much patient-therapist contact as with previous models.

HCAVS also integrates Soundsave technology, used to render prerecorded sounds that will stimulate the shower spray sounds. But attention, bathers, as Soundsave can also trick you into believing that more water is being sprayed on you enhancing the water properties of this new therapeutic shower. On top of the Soundsave, there's also in-room audio technology complementing it, with specific tribal sounds being played in the entire therapeutic chamber.

Above all this, your senses will be completely fooled as soon as the HydroColour lighting starts to kick in, another tech, which applies to every shower head, independently. These lighting effects are said to make the whole experience more pleasant for the therapist. Bornrich has info about this new therapeutic solution as well.
