THERMAL WATER
The richness of our Thermae lies in the thermal water, which belongs to the category of deep underground waters and is chemically classified as hyperthermal salt-bromine-iodide water, with a fixed residue at 180 °C of 5–6 grams of salts per litre.
THE ORIGINS
From the Pre-Alps, rainwater penetrates the subsoil to a depth of about 3,000 m, becoming enriched with mineral salts and progressively heating up.
Over more than 25 years it travels about 100 km, before reaching the Euganean area where, due to the particular structural conditions of the soil, it undergoes a rapid rise to the thermal wells, reaching a temperature of approximately 87 °C.

THE THERMAL WATER
The chemical data describe a water of excellent thermal quality and high mineralisation, with broad-spectrum therapeutic properties, which makes this area the thermal resort par excellence in the world. Warm and pleasant, rich and precious, beneficial and therapeutic, the thermal water is used for the maturation of mud, for inhalation therapies, in thermal baths and in the swimming pools.
The temperature of the pool water is kept at 33 °C, and this constant temperature is maintained by an automatic system which also guarantees the hygiene and safety of the water itself.
At AbanoRitz the thermal gap between the over 80 °C at which the water leaves our well and the temperature used in the thermal bath (33 °C–38 °C), whether for leisure or for treatment, generates geothermal energy; the hotel is therefore heated using the thermal gradient of the thermal water. In this way AbanoRitz has been involved in Green Energy for 50 years!
