social background
~The reason for replacing shower heads has changed from “cost reduction”~ Our company started out as a metal processing company for faucet parts. It was in 2005 that we developed a water-saving shower head using this technology. At that time, the reason for replacing shower heads at hotels and hot springs facilities was to “reduce costs” by saving water, but as of 2024, that perception has changed
significantly, and facing social issues has become an important corporate responsibility. Ta. This not only improves customer satisfaction, but also increases demand for its ability to reduce environmental impact and contribute to SDGs through water
conservation.

The key to saving water is the flow of water in the shower
Ultra-fine bubble shower heads have become a hot topic in recent years, and are attracting attention for their “beauty effects” that lead to beautiful and healthy skin. *
As recognition of “Ultra Fine Bubbles = Mist”* expands,* our products are particular about water flow, and ultra fine bubbles are generated in the “shower water flow” that washes your hair and body.*
To do. In the process, it saves up to 50% of water, reducing the environmental impact by cutting the amount of water and energy used to boil water in the shower stream, which is the most used water flow in the bathroom.

* Super Hotel Co., Ltd. Construction Planning Department Manager Kenji Izuo *

As a company that aims to be a hotel that is kind to both the earth and people, we were looking for a product that would be more environmentally friendly and help our customers feel more energetic, and we came across TKS Co., Ltd.’s “Borina”.
Based on the corporate philosophy of “maximizing the true power of water,” I feel an affinity with TKS’ approach of making people healthy through water, based on their technological capabilities that have been involved in water for over 50 years. I did. Another key point was that the environmental impact could be reduced through the
water-saving effect obtained in the process of generating ultra-fine bubbles.
By adopting Bolina, we will continue to provide an even healthier and more sustainable lodging experience.

Our unique patented technology “μ-Jet mechanism (*5)” generates ultra-fine bubbles with a minimum size of 0.0001mm (=0.1μm), and in the process, it saves water by up to 50%. in
You can contribute to reducing environmental impact while taking a bath. Bubbles smaller than 0.001mm (=1μm) are called “ultra fine bubbles.” Our Borina (shower head equipped with μ-Jet) uses patented technology to create ultra-fine bubbles as small as 0.0001mm (=0.1μm). It has various beneficial effects on the skin and body, such as cleaning sebum from pores, moisturizing, and keeping warm.

In addition, “Boleena Wide
Plus” is equipped with our unique light turn mechanism that allows the shower head to rotate freely. Eliminates the frustration of the shower head turning sideways on its own, providing a more comfortable shower time.
TKS’ unique light turn mechanism rotates the shower head 360 degrees

Future prospects
In response to requests from facilities such as hotels, we plan to develop shower heads exclusively for facilities that are easier to maintain.
In addition, in order to solve the problem of facilities installing expensive shower heads, which have been increasing in recent years, the shower head* anti-theft hose “Trenga”, which was released in 2007 and has been discontinued,*
has been reprinted. We leverage our experience and knowledge from providing shower heads to hotels, hot spring facilities, etc. for over 10 years to improve customer satisfaction and support sustainable social contribution activities. We plan to continue research and development of ultra-fine bubbles with a view to commercialization in fields other than showers.
