📏 Room Sizing Guide

Principle: The Harvia HGD60XW at 5.7kW is designed for steam rooms between 3 and 11 cubic metres, with exact capacity depending on wall construction, insulation, and ventilation.

Official Harvia Room Size Recommendations:

Wall Construction Type	Recommended Room Size
Light wall (acrylic, etc.) – ventilated	2–5 m³
Tiled lightweight wall	2.5–8 m³
Standard tiled wall	2–6 m³
Tiled lightweight wall (unventilated)	3–9 m³
Tiled stone/masonry wall	3.5–11 m³

Adjustment Factors:

Condition	Adjustment
Glass walls or doors	Add 1 m³ per m² of glass
Natural stone surfaces	Add 25–35% to total volume
High ceilings (above 2.4m)	Calculate additional volume
Poor insulation	Add 25–30% to total volume
Non-insulated masonry/concrete	Double the calculated volume

Worked Example:

📍 Example Room: 2.0m × 1.8m × 2.3m (home spa room)

• Base volume: 8.28 m³
• One glass wall (1.8m × 2.3m = 4.14 m²): +4.14 m³
• Total calculated: 12.42 m³
• HGD60XW 5.7kW: ⚠️ At upper limit—consider HGD90XW for this configuration

📍 Example Room: 2.2m × 1.5m × 2.2m (converted bathroom)

• Base volume: 7.26 m³
• Fully tiled walls, standard construction
• Total calculated: 7.26 m³
• HGD60XW 5.7kW: ✅ Ideal sizing with good capacity margin

📍 Example Room: 1.8m × 1.6m × 2.4m (compact steam shower)

• Base volume: 6.91 m³
• Glass door (0.8m × 2.1m = 1.68 m²): +1.68 m³
• Total calculated: 8.59 m³
• HGD60XW 5.7kW: ✅ Well suited for this application

💰 Running Costs

Energy Rate Used: £0.245/kWh (UK average December 2024—verify current rates at Ofgem)

Cost Calculation Table:

Usage Level	Sessions/Week	Est. Hours/Year	Annual Cost
🏠 Light Use	2 × 30 min	~52	£73
🏠 Regular Use	4 × 30 min	~104	£145
🧖 Heavy Use	6 × 45 min	~234	£327

Calculation Formula:

Annual Cost = kW × Hours/Year × £0.245

Example (HGD60XW, Regular Use - 4 sessions/week × 30 min):
5.7 kW × 104 hours × £0.245 = £145.24

Per session cost (30-minute session):
5.7 kW × 0.5 hours × £0.245 = £0.70

💡 Energy-Saving Tip: The WiFi delay-start function allows you to schedule your steam room to warm up precisely when needed, eliminating unnecessary running time. Most medium-sized rooms reach operating temperature within 15–25 minutes.

⚠️ 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 heat? A: The HGD60XW is suitable for steam rooms between 3 and 11 cubic metres, depending on wall construction. Fully tiled rooms with standard insulation work best in the 4–9 m³ range. For rooms with extensive glass, natural stone, or poor insulation, reduce the maximum capacity accordingly.

Q: How quickly does it produce steam? A: The generator typically begins producing steam within 15–25 minutes of startup, depending on room size and ambient temperature. The WiFi delay-start function lets you schedule warm-up to coincide with your arrival.

Q: Can I control it from my smartphone? A: Yes, the HGD60XW includes built-in WiFi and works with the free MyHarvia app for iOS and Android. Start sessions remotely, adjust temperature, monitor conditions, and control accessories from anywhere with an internet connection.

Q: What electrical supply do I need? A: The generator operates on either 230V single-phase (requiring a 32A dedicated circuit with 3 × 6 mm² cable) or 400V three-phase (requiring 3 × 10A fuses with 5 × 1.5 mm² cable). A qualified electrician must perform all installation work.

Q: Is a water softener necessary? A: In hard water areas (above 100 ppm calcium), a water softener is strongly recommended to prevent limescale buildup on heating elements and extend the generator’s operational life. Harvia specifies maximum calcium levels of 100 mg/l.

Q: What routine maintenance is required? A: Regular descaling based on usage frequency and water hardness. Empty and clean the sediment cup periodically. If fitted with the optional automatic discharge valve, the system performs scheduled self-flushing. Refer to the user manual for the complete maintenance schedule.

Q: What warranty coverage is provided? A: Harvia provides a 2-year warranty for domestic/private use and a 1-year warranty for commercial applications. Contact Parts4Tubs for full warranty terms and after-sales support.

Q: Can I connect multiple steam generators to one control panel? A: Yes, HGD steam generators can be serialised, allowing you to control multiple units from a single Xenio control panel—ideal for larger spa complexes or commercial installations.
