📏 Room Sizing Guide

Basic Sizing Principle: The Tylö Sense Elite 6.6kW is designed for sauna rooms between 4 and 8 cubic metres.

Standard Formula:

Room Volume = Length × Width × Height
1 kW ≈ 1 - 1.2 m³ of sauna room volume

Adjustment Factors:

Condition	Adjustment
Glass door or windows	Add +1.5 m³ per m² of glass
Uninsulated/log walls	Add +25-50% to calculated volume
Outdoor/barrel sauna	Add +25-30% to calculated volume
High ceiling (>2.3m)	Add extra volume proportionally
Brick/concrete walls (uninsulated)	Add +1.2-2.0 m³ per m² of wall

Worked Example:

📍 Example Room: 1.8m × 1.5m × 2.1m
- Base volume: 5.67 m³
- Glass door (0.7m × 1.9m = 1.33 m²): +2.0 m³
- Total calculated volume: 7.67 m³
- Tylö Sense Elite 6.6kW: ✅ Suitable (4-8 m³ capacity)

💡 Tip: For rooms at the upper end of the capacity range (7-8 m³), ensure excellent insulation for optimal performance. For rooms larger than 8 m³, consider the Sense Elite 8 (8kW) model.

💷 Running Costs

Energy Rate Used: £0.265/kWh (UK average – Ofgem Price Cap Q4 2025)

The Tylö Sense Elite features Split Output technology which automatically reduces power consumption by up to 30% once the target temperature is reached. The costs below factor in this energy-saving feature.

Annual Cost Estimates:

Usage Level	Sessions/Week	Hours/Year	Estimated Annual Cost
🏠 Light Use	2	150	£175 – £220
🏠 Regular Use	4	300	£350 – £440
🧖 Heavy Use	6+	450	£525 – £660

Cost Calculation (with Split Output):

Full Power Phase (heating): ~25 minutes at 6.6kW
Maintenance Phase (Split Output): ~65 minutes at ~4.6kW (30% reduction)

Per 1.5 hour session:
- Heating: 0.42 hours × 6.6 kW = 2.77 kWh
- Maintenance: 1.08 hours × 4.6 kW = 4.97 kWh
- Total per session: ~7.74 kWh

Estimated cost per session: £2.05

Comparison without Split Output: A standard heater running at full power would use approximately 9.9 kWh per 1.5-hour session, costing £2.62. The Tylö Split Output saves approximately £0.57 per session or around 22%.

⚠️ Actual costs depend on usage patterns, room insulation, ambient temperature, and current energy rates. Rates correct as of Q4 2025.

🔌 Installation Requirements

Electrical Requirements:

Supply Type	Voltage	Amperage	Circuit Breaker	Cable Size
Single Phase	230-240V~	29 A	32 A	10 mm²
Three Phase	400-415V 3N~	10 A	16 A	1.5 mm²

Minimum Clearances:

Position	Required Distance
Side walls	110 mm minimum
Back wall (wall mount)	Flush fitting
Back wall (with legs)	95 mm minimum
Ceiling	1030 mm minimum
Interior fittings (sides)	100 mm minimum
Interior fittings (front)	30 mm minimum
Benches	500 mm recommended
Distance from floor	100 – 270 mm

Ventilation Requirements:

• Fresh air intake: Position directly beneath the heater, approximately 125 cm² for family saunas

Sensor Positioning:

• 300 mm from heater (horizontally)
• 150 mm from ceiling
• Not influenced by incoming fresh air

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician 
in accordance with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and local building codes.
A dedicated circuit is required - the heater must not share circuits with 
other appliances.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size room will this heater work for? A: The Tylö Sense Elite 6.6kW is designed for sauna rooms between 4 and 8 m³. For rooms with glass doors, uninsulated walls, or outdoor installation, add 25-50% to your volume calculation when sizing.

Q: How long does it take to heat up? A: Typically around 25 minutes to reach optimal bathing temperature of 80°C, thanks to Tylö’s twin side air chamber design. Actual time varies based on room size, insulation, and starting temperature.

Q: What electrical supply do I need? A: This heater can operate on either single-phase 230-240V (requiring 29A circuit with 10mm² cable) or three-phase 400-415V (requiring 10A circuit with 1.5mm² cable). A dedicated circuit and professional installation by a qualified electrician is required.

Q: Are sauna stones included? A: No, sauna stones are sold separately. The heater requires 20kg of quality sauna stones (30-60mm diameter). We recommend Tylö Sauna Stones or black diabase, available from Parts4Tubs.

Q: What is Split Output technology? A: Split Output is Tylö’s energy-saving feature that automatically reduces power consumption by up to 30% once your sauna reaches the target temperature. This maintains comfortable bathing temperature while significantly reducing electricity usage.

Q: Can I control this heater from my phone? A: Yes! The included Elite Cloud control panel connects to your home WiFi, allowing full control via the free Tylö Control app on iOS or Android. You can start your sauna remotely, schedule sessions, and monitor temperature from anywhere.

Q: What is the warranty? A: Please contact Parts4Tubs for full warranty terms and conditions applicable to UK purchases.

Q: Can I install this in an outdoor sauna? A: Yes, but the heater itself must be installed inside the sauna cabin. For outdoor saunas, ensure proper insulation and factor in additional heat loss when calculating room volume. The heater is IPX4 rated for splash protection within the sauna environment.

Q: Is the control panel suitable for inside the sauna? A: Yes, the Elite Cloud panel can be mounted inside or outside the sauna room. However, placement outside is recommended for lower ambient temperatures and longer panel life. If mounted inside, ensure proper ventilation as the ambient temperature around the panel should not exceed 80°C.
