❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size room will this heater work for? A: This 8 kW heater is suitable for sauna rooms between 6 and 12 m³. For rooms with glass doors, uninsulated walls, or outdoor installations, add 25-50% to your volume calculation before selecting.

Q: How long does it take to heat up? A: Typically 30 minutes to reach approximately 80°C, depending on room size and insulation quality.

Q: What electrical supply do I need? A: This heater operates on either 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase supply. A dedicated circuit and professional installation by a qualified electrician is mandatory.

Q: Are sauna stones included? A: No, stones are sold separately. You will need 20 kg of Tylö diabase sauna stones (Tylö Bastusten). Using other stone types may damage the heater and void the warranty.

Q: What is the warranty? A: Contact Parts4Tubs for full warranty terms and conditions. Warranty does not cover damage caused by improper stones, incorrect installation, or failure to follow maintenance guidelines.

Q: Can I use this heater outdoors? A: Yes, for garden or barrel saunas, but you must add 25-30% to your room volume calculation and ensure proper weatherproofing of electrical connections.

Q: What’s the difference between dry and combi mode? A: Dry mode operates the stone heater only for traditional Finnish sauna (70-90°C). Combi mode adds steam from the integrated water reservoir for a softer, more humid experience (65-70°C at 35% humidity) with up to 25% energy savings.

Q: How often should I empty the water reservoir? A: After every session to prevent limescale and mineral buildup. Failure to do so may cause foam formation that affects level sensors and can damage the heating element.
