Superior Sauna Heaters (Electric or Wood). When pouring water on the sauna rocks, the sauna heater is at the heart of the traditional Finnish steam sauna, providing soothing heat and plenty of steam. Most sauna heaters can be used dry, or if you prefer a conventional steam sauna, simply pour a ladle of water every 3 to 5 minutes to produce steam and adjust the humidity level to your liking. For a delightful vaporized smell, dilute eucalyptus sauna oils in a sauna water bucket.

Sauna use has several advantages, including the removal of toxins through sweating, increased blood flow to the skin surface for good skin and circulation, and a relaxing sense of well-being with more peaceful sleep following. By knowing the total cubic feet of your sauna room, you can make sure you choose the right size sauna heater for your needs (width x depth x height in m). Except for outdoor saunas in cold locations, where you may wish to upgrade to the next Kilowatt size up heater to compensate for the lower beginning temperature, shopping by the cubic foot total works for most sauna heater applications.
