AQUABELA – Shower system for scarcity, circulation and rising showers

A scotch shower is a very radical, highly stimulating and highly effective treatment based on the contrasting application of cold and heat (Kneipp method). The principle of operation is quite simple: a stream of water at 3 atm pressure is directed at the patient from a distance of 3 to 4 metres. Initially, a warm (38° – 42°C) water jet is applied for 30 seconds, followed by a cold (16° – 18°C) water jet for 5 to 10 seconds. The shower is repeated several times, first on the upper and lower limbs, then on the trunk and abdomen, always on the front and back of the body. AQUABELA is a system of shampoo, circulating and ascending showers with a wide range of shower applications. Three models are available:

AQUABELA 1:

• – Charcoal shower
• – spot water jet
• – Shower nozzle with swivel option (0-90º)

AQUABELA 2:

• – Charcoal shower
• – spot water jet
• – Shower nozzle with swivel option (0-90º)
• – Kneipp method using a left syringe to alternate the temperature of the water warm/cold

AQUABELA 3:

• – Charcoal shower
• – spot water jet
• – Shower nozzle with swivel option (0-90º)
• – Kneipp method using a left syringe to alternate the temperature of the water warm/cold
• – additional valve for controlling the circulation shower
• – additional valve for controlling the rising shower

Requirements for the installation of an arc shower:

• The water pressure in the water supply system shall not be less than 5 bar.
• The pressure difference between the cold and hot water pipes shall not exceed 1 bar.
• The distance from the syringe to the patient should be 3.0 – 3.5 m.
• Water supply system main pipe diameter 1”, supply branch pipe diameter 3/4”.
