# Water-Purifying Pods The Da/Spa Shower Makes Comfort More Eco-Friendly By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-07-28 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/da-spa-shower References: [ecofriend](http://www.ecofriend.com/entry/eco-gadgets-daspa-shower-recycles-shower-water-for-a-green-massage/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Da--Spa-shower/203943) There are a few luxuries in life that, once introduced, consumers are less than eager to let go. Massaging jacuzzis may be one example of these, but the Da/Spa Shower at least makes the use of indulgent plumbing fixtures a more environmentally responsible practice. Designer Victor M. Aleman strives to achieve this by integrating a process for [recycling water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/showerhead-design) within his [round lavatory pod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefabricated-pods). All of the high-pressure jets within the curved walls create a massaging effect thanks to cleaned gray water from the appliance's own drain. Promising a sophisticated system of H2O purification, temperature maintenance and the operation of its powerful "water bombs," the Da/Spa Shower lets one remain pampered beneath a cleansing downpour of just 20L. It would however be interesting to note of the eco-friendliness of this capsule in terms of electrical consumption. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Water-purifying Pods:** The trend of integrating water recycling systems in shower pods presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the plumbing industry. - **Eco-friendly Luxuries:** The trend of creating sustainable versions of indulgent products like massaging showers offers an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the luxury goods market. - **Sustainable Water Consumption:** The trend of designing shower systems that optimize water usage and minimize waste provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in water conservation technologies. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Plumbing:** The plumbing industry can capitalize on the trend of water-purifying pods by developing innovative recycling and purification systems for showers and other fixtures. - **Luxury Goods:** The luxury goods industry can explore the trend of eco-friendly luxuries by creating sustainable versions of indulgent products, such as spa showers, to cater to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Water Conservation Technologies:** The water conservation technologies industry can seize the trend of sustainable water consumption by developing sophisticated systems that optimize water usage and minimize waste in various applications, including shower systems. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aromatherapy Infused Shower Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprig-shower-infusion-system.md) - [Water-Saving Shower Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alu.md) - [WiFi-Enabled Circular Showers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circular-shower.md) - [Accessible Shower Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-showers.md) - [Pressure-Sensitive Shower Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-shower-concept.md) - [Fully Integrated Smart Showers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-shower-head.md) - [Water-Saving Bathroom Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bergvattnet.md) - [Intelligent Bathroom Bathing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-smart-bath-and-shower-purifier.md) - [Water- Purifying Showerhead Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/showerhead-design.md)
