Spas, these havens of tranquility and relaxation, are also adapting to this new era of environmental responsibility. Here is the exciting evolution of ecoresponsibility in spas and the trends that are shaping the future of this industry.

The quest for well-being has always been a priority for many people, but now it is accompanied by a desire to reduce our environmental footprint. Spas, traditionally associated with luxury, were quick to respond to this demand.

Materials, Renewable Energy and Products

One of the major trends in the spa industry is the use of sustainable materials and eco-friendly design of facilities. From buildings constructed with recycled materials or renewable energy to installing ecofriendly gardens to enhance the ambiance, spas are becoming sanctuaries of sustainability.

But eco-responsibility does not stop there. Spas are also rethinking their treatment offerings and products. Therapists are increasingly turning to organic and ethical products, thus minimizing the environmental impact of their treatments. Additionally, many spas are working to reduce their water and energy consumption by using more efficient equipment and implementing recycling programs.

Educating clients allows for Reconnection to Nature

Education also plays a key role in this transformation. Spas not only adopt eco-responsible practices, they also seek to educate their customers about the importance of the environment. From workshops on sustainable well-being to reforestation initiatives, spas strive to engage their customers in a collective approach to preserving the planet.

Ultimately, eco-friendly spas offer a much deeper experience than just physical relaxation. They allow customers to reconnect with nature and contribute to a more sustainable world. The wellness industry, with its transformative and healing power, is becoming a key player in the fight for a greener future.

In this new world of eco-responsible spas, the wellbeing of the individual and that of the planet go hand in hand. The spas of the future are an invitation to relaxation, healing, and commitment to our planet.

Let's look at how spas can implement innovative equipment to save water and electricity, while still providing a quality wellness experience.

Water: Closed Circuit Showers

The closed-circuit shower is an innovation that perfectly embodies spas' commitment to water conservation. Unlike conventional showers which waste large quantities of fresh water throughout the treatment, this ingenious technology recycles the water used, providing a sustainable solution while maintaining a high level of hygiene.

How it works ?

This shower is equipped with motion and temperature sensors to ensure a personalized experience. When the customer enters the shower, the sensors automatically detect their presence and adjust the water temperature to their preferences. It is a way to reduce energy consumption by avoiding wasting hot water.

Recycled water

The most impressive part of this shower is its water recycling system. The water used for the initial rinse is collected, filtered, disinfected, then reused for other stages of the treatment. Spas invest in stateof-the-art purification systems to ensure recycled water remains clean and free of contaminants. This innovative practice significantly reduces water consumption while providing an impeccable spa experience.

A low flow shower head

Additionally, these closed-loop showers are equipped with low-flow showerheads, further reducing water consumption while providing a pleasant showering experience.

To soothe the mind and environmental awareness

Ultimately, the closed-loop shower is a compelling example of how spas are incorporating eco-friendly amenities to reduce their environmental impact. By adopting such technologies, these establishments create a harmonious balance between the wellbeing of their customers and their commitment to the planet. A relaxing shower in an eco-responsible spa thus becomes an experience that soothes not only the mind and body, but also the environmental conscience.

Bubbling Baths

Whirlpool baths are iconic elements of spas, offering an incomparable relaxing experience. However, these installations can be notoriously water and electricity intensive. However, eco-responsible spas also integrate innovative technologies to minimize the impact of this equipment on the environment.

Water reuse

Modern spas are adopting sophisticated filtration and disinfection systems to enable water reuse in hot tubs and Jacuzzis. This water is continually purified and reintroduced into the ponds, reducing the need to use large quantities of fresh water.

Efficient heating systems

Energy efficient water heaters are used to maintain water temperature in hot tubs. These systems quickly heat water and maintain it at the desired temperature without wasting energy.

Insulating blanket

Eco-friendly spas are equipped with insulated covers to prevent heat from escaping when the hot tubs are not in use. This reduces heat loss and energy consumption.

Low energy consumption LED lighting

Hot tubs are often equipped with lighting to create a calming atmosphere. Eco-responsible spas opt for LED bulbs with low energy consumption.
