Justin: Glad to be helpful!
Justin Peterson (asker) Jul 6, 2015:
Andrew... I see your point too I hear you. But I'd rather use something that makes more sense, and is more precise, than a more common translation that really doesn´t transmit anything... though that does seem to be "out there"
Andrew Darling Jul 6, 2015:
Ok, point taken on what shower is NOT a water-spray shower but it's also used here: http://www.spazenter.com/white-wellness-spa-zenter-un-moment...
Justin Peterson (asker) Jul 6, 2015:
Luke: they also have that, separately They refer to aromatic showers (duchas aromáticas) separately. But thanks.
Justin Peterson (asker) Jul 6, 2015:
PuebSol: BINGO Yes, that´s it. MIST is the key. If you check out pictures of the "ducha pulverizada", that was the word/concept I was looking for! (I think I'm losing my mind, or at least my English) :/
Justin Peterson (asker) Jul 6, 2015:
Thanks, but ... The page is from Calpe (Spain). I think it was their best shot at a translation, but what shower is NOT a water-spray shower? :/
Andrew Darling Jul 6, 2015:
This was translated as a "water-spray shower" here: http://www.unitursa.com/en/diamante-spa
Justin Peterson (asker) Jul 6, 2015:
Context is not the problem The context is crystal clear: a list of spa treatments. Context is not the problem.
Luke Mersh Jul 6, 2015:
more context please. could you please provided us with more context, as it is hard to determine.
thank you

Mist Shower

Por lo que he leído, las duchas pulverizadas se utilizan para mejorar la circulación sanguínea. Esto lo provocan alternando agua fría y caliente, siempre con "agua pulverizada", casi en forma de vapor. En inglés, al tratamiento se lo encuentra como "Mist Bi-thermal shower". Como en la frase que posteas no hace mención de la temperatura, optaría por eliminar el "bi-thermal".

High pressure aromatic shower

From what I understand and what I have read, it is a shower that uses high pressure water through an aromatic system.

So I would imagine that the water pressure acts as a kind of massage along with other elements of araomatherapy.

neutral Joseph Tein : Hi Luke. I don't know this one... but the thing to do is to give convincing examples from online sources that this phrase is really commonly used (to convince other colleagues and inspire confidence in the asker). See Andrew's examples, just below.
