Geothermal ProjectThrough a heat exchanger (water/water), we take the temperature of the thermal water to heat the public water and vice versa.
This water is then conducted to both bathhouses for its use in the treatments (the termal water) and also for sanitary use and to heat the spaces (the public water).
This geothermal process, that is environmentally friendly, is also used for 2 (two) hotels in the surroundig area (for the baths, for sanitary uses and for the space heating).
Dermocosmetics
Termas de S. Pedro do Sul, in partnership with the Faculty of Pharmacy of Porto, studied the
cutaneous effects of the thermal water, which showed to have an
anti-irritating and soothing effect, leaving the skin smooth and
moisturized
AQVA Termas de S. Pedro do Sul Dermocosmetics was born
It is an hydration line
All products contain a high percentage of thermal water, except for the body oil, because water and
oil do not mix.
They began to be traded on August 15 (fifteen), 2014 (two thousand and
fourteen)
