Wet spa specialist Aquaform has launched Velum, a customisable multisensory water curtain that sits above a pool – covering certain parts or the whole area – to transform the bathing experience into an engaging and immersive one.

"All too often, spa water features – aside from pools – are relegated to simple showers which are barely visible and lack any specific function," says Alberto Moretti, general manager of Aquaform. "While water is often associated with health, it can be a source of great enjoyment and Velum can make it the star of any project."

The innovation, which pumps and recycles water from the pool, not only features different kinds of jets it can be equipped with coloured lights and sound systems.

It can simulate sunlight and water reflections, for example, or make users feel like they're in a thunderstorm or surrounded by ethereal mist.

"Whether for relaxation or entertainment, Velum can be used to craft truly unique environments," concludes Moretti.
