Mizu Non-Plumbed Japanese Head Spa Basin | Portable Scalp System

Yes. The Mizu basin features a fully integrated internal heating element designed to manage the temperature of the water reservoir directly, eliminating the need for external hot water plumbing or separate heating units.

Yes, absolutely. The internal heating system and digital thermostat are specifically engineered to maintain a stable, continuous water temperature for the duration of a 60-minute hydrotherapy session, ensuring the client's sensory experience is never disrupted by sudden temperature drops.

Yes, it is perfectly safe to leave the heater engaged between back-to-back appointments to maintain your water temperature, provided there is a sufficient volume of water remaining in the tank. You must always ensure the tank does not run dry while the heating element is active to prevent internal damage.

The Mizu operates using two standard Australian 10-amp power plugs—one dedicated to the internal heating element and the other for the circulatory water pump. While it plugs directly into standard wall outlets, we highly recommend ensuring this unit is on an isolated circuit. Running the Mizu simultaneously on the same power circuit as high-draw electrical equipment (such as clinic autoclaves, multiple heavy-duty hair dryers, or diode lasers) may cause a circuit overload.

The Mizu features a massive 60-litre fresh water reservoir, which is precisely calibrated to deliver one complete, uninterrupted 60-minute intensive hydrotherapy session. To maintain strict clinic hygiene and prevent greywater overflow, you must execute the mandatory 15-minute turnaround protocol to drain the waste system and refill the fresh water reservoir between every single client. If connecting the drainage hose directly to an in-floor salon waste point is not structurally possible in your space, you will need to place a external waste bucket on the side of the basin to safely catch the discharge during the purge cycle.

Thanks to the dedicated heating circuit, the Mizu features a highly efficient internal thermal chassis. It takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes to heat a completely full 60-litre tank of ambient room-temperature water to your target therapeutic temperature. For optimal workflow, we recommend engaging the heater during your client's initial macroscopic scalp consultation so the water halo is perfectly pre-heated by the time they transition to the bed.

While the Mizu’s electric pump delivers commercial-grade rinsing pressure, you must actively protect the internal turbine. We strongly advise performing your double shampoo and manual scalp exfoliation first, using the handheld shower to rinse. The continuous water halo should be utilised primarily with clean water to flush the scalp, softening sebum and rinsing away your applied essential oils and serums. Pushing thick, heavy suds repeatedly through the internal filter system can cause premature wear on the turbine components.
