Why HYDRAO
HYDRA: Island in Greece replenished with water due to overconsumption by tourists, particularly during showers.
O : For the link with water.
The result is HYDRAO!
Gabriel
It all began in the mind of Gabriel Della Monica, the inventor and initiator of the HYDRAO project.
Father of four daughters who take full advantage of the shower at home, Gabriel was looking for ways to raise his family's awareness of hot water wastage in the shower. In addition to its ecological importance, this over-consumption had a significant impact on his water and energy bills.
A telecoms engineer with a keen interest in preserving the environment, Gabriel wants to use connected objects to make consumers key players in the ecological transition. He sees these technologies as a chance and an opportunity to reduce our environmental impact and tackle climate change.
That's why, after two years of development and the filing of a patent, the first version of an ecological, educational and connected showerhead saw the light of day in 2015.
Unique products
At HYDRAO, we have two major goals: to revolutionize our industry and to save you money. To achieve these goals, we develop technologically unique products.
Our patented showerhead is a perfect example. Thanks to an integrated turbine system, it is autonomous and connected.

Our commitments
Eco-friendly
The HYDRAO Aloé showerhead has a positive environmental impact from the 163rd shower onwards, unlike a conventional showerhead.
LCA
To guarantee the ecological impact of our knobs, we asked the independent company Ad Fine to carry out a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of our HYDRAO Aloé knob, with the support of the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME). This LCA confirmed that our knobs have a positive ecological impact, even though they contain electronics.
Multi-awarded
HYDRAO has won several awards since its creation, including two at CES and the Booking Awards, and is one of the 1000 solutions of Solar Impulse, Green Tech and the France Relance program.
