📏 Room Sizing Guide

Basic Formula: 1 kW = 1-1.5 m³ sauna room volume

Adjustment Factors:

Condition	Adjustment
Glass door/windows	+1.5 m³ per m² of glass
Uninsulated/log walls	+25-50% to volume
Outdoor/barrel sauna	+25-30% to volume
High ceiling (>2.3m)	Add extra volume
Masonry walls (brick/concrete)	+1.2-2 m³ per m² of uninsulated surface

Worked Example:

📍 Example Room: 2.5m × 2m × 2.2m

• Base volume: 11 m³
• Glass door (0.8m × 2m = 1.6 m²): +2.4 m³
• Total calculated: 13.4 m³
• This 8 kW heater: ✅ Suitable for 6-12 m³ (borderline – consider 10.5 kW for glass door)

📍 Example Room: 2m × 1.8m × 2.1m

• Base volume: 7.56 m³
• Well-insulated walls, no glass: No adjustment needed
• This 8 kW heater: ✅ Ideal fit within 6-12 m³ range

💷 Running Costs

Energy Rate Used: £0.2635/kWh (Ofgem Price Cap Q4 2025 – Direct Debit rate)

Cost Calculation:

Usage Level	Sessions/Week	Hours/Year	Annual Cost
🏠 Light Use	2	150	£316
🏠 Regular Use	4	300	£632
🧖 Heavy Use	6	450	£949

Calculation Formula:

Annual Cost = kW × Hours/Year × £0.2635

Example (8 kW heater, Regular Use):
8 kW × 300 hours × £0.2635 = £632.40

Per session cost: Approximately £3.16 per 1.5-hour session

💡 Energy Saving Tip: The Split Output technology reduces power consumption once your sauna reaches the target temperature, potentially lowering actual running costs by 15-25%.

⚠️ Actual costs depend on usage patterns, session length, room insulation, and current energy rates. Energy prices are subject to quarterly Ofgem price cap reviews.

❓ 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 base volume calculation when selecting heater size.

Q: How long does it take to heat up? A: Typically 25-30 minutes to reach 80°C, depending on room size, insulation quality, and starting temperature. Well-insulated rooms will heat faster.

Q: What electrical supply do I need? A: For UK installations, the heater typically operates on 400-415V 3-phase supply requiring a 16A circuit breaker with 2.5mm² cable. Single-phase 230-240V installation is possible but requires a 40A supply with 10mm² cable. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is mandatory.

Q: Are sauna stones included? A: No. You will need approximately 20 kg of quality sauna stones (olivine diabase recommended). These are available separately from Parts4Tubs.

Q: What is the warranty? A: The Tylö Sense Combi Elite 8 comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Contact Parts4Tubs for full warranty terms and conditions.

Q: Can I install this outdoors? A: The heater itself is designed for indoor installation within a properly constructed and insulated sauna cabin. Outdoor saunas (garden rooms, barrel saunas) are suitable provided the heater is protected within the sauna structure. Add 25-30% to room volume calculations for outdoor locations.

Q: What is the difference between Combi Elite and Combi Pure? A: Both models offer identical heating and steam functionality. The Combi Elite includes the WiFi-enabled Elite Cloud control panel with app control and cloud connectivity. The Combi Pure includes the simpler Pure control panel without WiFi features.

Q: How do I maintain the steam function? A: Empty the water reservoir after each use to prevent limescale buildup. Descale periodically with Tylö Solvent as required. Clean electrodes with a cloth if water level sensors become unreliable.
