Water and energy are both very precious resources and the traditional Vichy Shower has gained a reputation as being a high consumer of both. With the right training and an understanding of the value of these resources even the traditional Vichy Shower can be operated responsibly, unfortunately this seems easier said than done. The desire to flood bathers with as much water as possible in order to create an experience just seems too tempting. Of course flooding the body with multiple showers with flowing warm water is also a way to keep bathers warm during treatments and so the practice continues. Typically a 7 head Vichy Shower allows up to 10 litres per minute (2.5gpm) per showerhead 7 showerheads equates to 70 litres per minute (17.5gpm) and a 20 minute treatment could consume as much as 1400 litres (350 gallons), this is an alarming waste of such a precious resource! HydroCo recognize that the above factors are the main cause of Vichy Showers being associated with wasting vast amounts of water. What many people don’t realize is that the more hot water used the more energy that is consumed. Water has to be heated prior to use and typically hot water services are inefficient, with much of the heat dissipated through plumbing lines from the heating system. So what can be done to bring the Vichy Shower to being an acceptable treatment?
