📐 Room Sizing Guide
Basic Sizing Principle: Approximately 1 kW of generator power per 1 m³ of steam room volume (varies based on construction materials and ventilation).
Room Capacity Based on Wall Type:
| Wall Construction | With Ventilation | Without Ventilation |
|---|---|---|
| 🪟 Light walls (glass, plastic, acrylic) | 14-22 m³ | 22-30 m³ |
| 🧱 Heavy walls (tiles, concrete, stone) | 8-15 m³ | 14-20 m³ |
Adjustment Factors:
| Condition | Adjustment |
|---|---|
| Glass walls/doors | Add 1 m³ per m² of glass |
| Natural stone walls | Add 20-30% to base volume |
| Poor insulation | Add 25% to calculated volume |
| High ceiling (above 2.4m) | Calculate additional volume |
| Mechanical ventilation | Use ‘With ventilation’ figures |
Worked Example:
📍 Example: Commercial Spa Steam Room
- Room dimensions: 2.5m × 2.5m × 2.4m
- Base volume: 15 m³
- Construction: Tiled walls (heavy)
- Glass door: 1.8 m² = +1.8 m³
- Total calculated: 16.8 m³
- With mechanical ventilation: ✅ This 12 kW generator (8-15 m³) is suitable with some reserve capacity
💡 For rooms at the upper end of the capacity range, consider the 15 kW model or a MultiSteam configuration.
💷 Running Costs
Energy Rate Used: £0.245/kWh (UK average – check current Ofgem rates)
Estimated Annual Running Costs:
| Usage Level | Sessions/Week | Est. Hours/Year | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🏢 Light Commercial | 10-15 | 300 | £882 |
| 🧖 Regular Commercial | 20-25 | 600 | £1,764 |
| 🏋️ Heavy Commercial | 35+ | 1,000 | £2,940 |
Cost Calculation Formula:
Annual Cost = kW × Hours/Year × £0.245 × Utilisation Factor
Example (Regular Commercial Use):
12 kW × 600 hours × £0.245 × 0.8 (divided output savings) = £1,411
Per session estimate: Approximately £1.50-£2.50 per 30-minute session
💡 The patented ‘divided output’ function reduces these costs by up to 30% by lowering power output once the desired temperature is reached.
⚠️ Actual costs depend on usage patterns, session length, room size, insulation quality, and current energy rates.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size steam room will this generator work for?
A: The Steam Commercial 12 kW is suitable for steam rooms between 8-30 m³, depending on wall construction and ventilation. Light walls (glass/acrylic) allow larger rooms, while heavy walls (tile/stone) require more power per cubic metre. Always account for glass doors and high ceilings in your calculations.
Q: How long does it take to produce steam?
A: Steam production begins within minutes of starting the generator. The exact time to reach operating temperature depends on room size, ambient temperature, and whether the room was pre-warmed. Commercial installations typically achieve full steam in 15-25 minutes.
Q: What electrical supply do I need?
A: This generator requires a 400-415V three-phase (3N~) electrical supply with a dedicated circuit. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is mandatory. Consult the installation manual for specific amperage and cable requirements.
Q: Do I need a water softener?
A: In hard water areas (above 7°dH / 12°TH), a water softener is strongly recommended. In very hard water areas (above 14°dH / 25°TH), it is essential. The automatic flush system helps manage limescale, but a softener significantly extends equipment life and reduces maintenance.
Q: What is the warranty?
A: Tylö electrical steam generators come with a 2-year warranty plus an additional 3-year material warranty for private use. Contact Parts4Tubs for full commercial warranty terms and conditions.
Q: How often does it need maintenance?
A: The automatic emptying (60 minutes after use) and flush functions significantly reduce maintenance. Manual descaling frequency depends on water hardness and usage – from every 250+ hours in soft water areas to more frequent intervals in hard water areas. Refer to the user manual’s descaling schedule based on your water hardness reading.
Q: Can I control it remotely?
A: Yes, when paired with the Elite Cloud control panel, you can control the steam generator via the Tylö Wellaccess app on your smartphone or tablet. The cloud-based functionality allows control from anywhere with an internet connection.
Q: What is the MultiSteam function?
A: MultiSteam allows up to three Steam Commercial generators to be connected to a single steam room and control panel. When one generator performs automatic flushing (a 10-15 minute process), the others continue producing steam, ensuring uninterrupted operation in high-demand facilities.
