TKS Corporation (Gifu City; President and CEO: Nobuyuki Iwanaga) announces the launch of a new fine bubble showerhead, 'Avanti Fine (Silver)', on Wednesday, July 15, 2026.
This product is a new color variant of the 'TK-A001 Avanti Fine', launched in July 2024, specifically designed to enhance both 'cleaning power' and 'water-saving performance'. With a simple and lightweight design (approx. 150g), it improves usability and durability. Responding to customer demand for a premium silver finish, a plating process has been applied to the original 'TK-A001 Avanti Fine'.
Sebum removal is approximately 77% higher compared to a standard showerhead (※1). Maximum water savings reach approximately 53%, with an estimated annual saving of approximately ¥49,000 (※2). The retail price is ¥11,000 (tax included).
As a water control technology company and the pioneer manufacturer of the fine bubble showerhead 'Bolina' series, TKS aims to research and develop showerheads specialized for specific 'purposes' and 'usage scenarios', targeting a 5% market share.
Fine Bubble: A collective term for microbubbles and ultrafine bubbles—extremely small bubbles. Fine bubbles are expected to provide cleaning, moisturizing, and heat retention effects and are gaining attention across diverse industries such as aquaculture, agriculture, and healthcare. TKS products generate these bubbles using a proprietary technology called the 'μ-Jet mechanism (※3)'.

Water-saving while enjoying a full shower experience
The patented 'μ-Jet mechanism (※3)' generates fine bubbles—air bubbles smaller than 0.1mm (100μm) in diameter.
This product generates these ultrafine bubbles during the 'shower water flow' used for washing hair and body. This process achieves a maximum water saving of approximately 53% (※2), significantly reducing water consumption during the most frequently used shower mode and lowering environmental impact.
The estimated annual savings on utility costs (water and gas) amount to approximately ¥49,000 (※2). Furthermore, by reducing not only water volume but also the energy required to heat the water, it contributes to a reduction in CO2 emissions.
Daily water savings make a difference—reducing water and energy bills also contributes to the SDGs
Goal 3: 'Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages'
Enhanced hygiene through cleaning action
Goal 6: 'Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all'
Cleaning power can also be utilized for bathroom cleaning, improving cleanliness
Goal 13: 'Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts'
Reducing water volume and energy used to heat water leads to lower CO2 emissions
{Patent Pending} Water jet formed by merging streams from six holes
Shower plate designed for a refreshing shower experience
The shower plate of this product has been developed to produce a powerful, pleasant water flow.
Six spray holes arranged in a circular pattern create concentrated water jets, delivering a refreshing sensation.
Additionally, by slightly reducing the size of the spray holes and increasing their number, the density of the water jets has been enhanced.
This showerhead is recommended even during hot summers when sebum buildup is common.
A silver model that complements premium bathrooms
In addition to developing showerheads specialized for 'purpose' and 'scenario', TKS carefully curates its lineup with evidence-based solutions for specific user concerns, striving to meet nuanced customer needs.
Responding to demand for a premium silver color, a plating process has been applied to the 'TK-A001 Avanti Fine'. The color scheme is designed to harmonize with meticulously designed bathrooms.
