Shower head and showerheads by Ecocamel - Newsletter - Days Inn Hotel

The Days Inn Hotel in Hyde Park London, affiliated to the Wyndham Hotel Group, decided to complete a retrofit of 57 bathrooms by installing the Ecocamel aerated shower head.

"I made my decision to use Ecocamel for two reasons; Firstly the savings I made - the ecocamel shower heads will save me annually over £4,000.00 off the combined energy and water cost per hotel, secondly the shower head gave a very refreshing and excellent shower experience, which is very important to me and made my decision to use Ecocamel shower heads very simple"
