Frequently Asked Questions

Top 4 Frequently Asked Questions

Can the indoor saunas be placed outside under covered patio?
Yes, it can, as long as the top and interior don't get wet. You have to pay attention to the absolute rain protection of the top and bottom for an indoor sauna. Because the top panel of indoor sauna has wires, and the bottom has no raised and waterproof base.

Humidity has very little impact on the sauna, and if you can open the sauna weekly and let the heating panels work, this will prevent the moisture from deteriorating the appliances and wood.

While the outdoor sauna has more comprehensive waterproof protection. SalusHEAT outdoor saunas have even less impact because of the added water barrier and the sealant on windows.
Hemlock, Basswood, Fir, Mahogany, Red Cedar, which sauna is better for me?
When you choose between the 906MH and 906MB, you will find that the 906MB uses basswood in addition to not having a heated front door. Basswood is the better choice if you want to put the sauna under a patio with a cover. And there is no heater for the front door to prevent moisture. If you don't care about wood, you can choose the 906MH because it has an extra heating panel on the front door to get an all-around sauna experience.

When you are shopping for an outdoor sauna, you will find that we have 4 types of wood: Fir, Basswood, Mahogany and Red cedar. If we rank them in order of durability, the results are as follows: Red cedar = Mahogany > Basswood > Fir. Of course, all saunas are sturdy and can withstand heavy storms and snow directly. Basswood, Mahogany and red cedar are better suited to withstand heat and moisture without warping or cracking.

Fir is a type of softwood but relatively strong and durable. And Fir is lighter in color with small tight knots that give its rustic appearance. It is known for its stability and resistance to decay, making it a popular choice for outdoor construction projects. When used in saunas, fir provides a warm and inviting aesthetic.

On the other hand, basswood is a type of hardwood that is heavier in weight compared to fir. It has a pale yellow to light brown color with a fine and even texture, lack of knot. Ext durability testing conducted by the research and development department has revealed that basswood is both highly stable and cost-effective for long-term use. Moreover, basswood is hypoallergenic, making it an ideal option for individuals with sensitive skin.

Mahogany is a hardwood with a rich, reddish-brown color. It is known for its durability, strength, and resistance to decay and insect damage.

On the other hand, red cedar is also a durable wood with natural oils that provide it with inherent resistance to decay, rot, and insects. It has a distinctive reddish-brown color with a pleasant aroma.

Ultimately, the choice of wood depends on personal preference, budget, aesthetics, and specific needs for the sauna.
How long does it take to heat to 149°F?
The 149F limit is an ETL safety standard built into the control panel. The 149 setting is perfect for prolonged infrared therapy sessions (up to 60 min.) while also taking user safety into account.

The temperature shown on the control panel represents the surface temperature of the infrared heating plate. If it displays 149F, the actual room temperature may have reached 180F. However, this is also dependent on the initial ambient temperature.

Ignoring the environment, the rate at which the sauna heats up is directly related to the power of the heating panels, but inversely related to the room of the sauna space. As a general guideline, it typically takes around 20 minutes to heat up from room temperature to 149F. However, if we consider the current temperature conditions, it will only take 15 minutes on a hot summer day and can take up to 30 minutes on a cold winter day. Additionally, the frequency of opening the door affects the temperature inside the sauna.

A good infrared sauna will not overheat your lungs. Ideally, you go inside when it’s only 25-28C (77-83F) and let the heat slowly rise while you sit inside. That way your body adapts to the rising heat. Once you start sweating, around the 37C mark (98.6F), you only need to stay inside a little while longer. Most people come out between 42-50C (108-122F).
What are the EMF readings of your saunas?
Our Maxwell saunas and Wearwell outdoor saunas are equipped with ultra-low EMF heaters, and their EMF readings range from 0.1 to 1.0mG. While other saunas have EMF readings between 10~30mG, there is no need to be concerned about this non-ionizing radiation, as it is comparable to that emitted by electronic devices such as cell phones. This is considerably lower when compared to the levels of 100+ mG often found in many other sauna brands, regardless of the particular model.

A U.S. Patent for an infrared sauna with low electric field and low electromagnetic wave radiation has been registered for our Maxwell infrared heater. Our technology integrates both extremely low frequency (ELF) electric field and low electromagnetic field radiation (EMF) without the use of any shielding material.

Does your sauna models come with near/mid/far infrared?
Our sauna has only far infrared. Far infrared are the most widely used in saunas. Far-infrared (FIR) are mainly used to treat soft tissue injuries that are more superficial and insensitive to thermal stimulation, such as superficial contusions and injuries to thinner parts of the soft tissue. Far-infrared is the closest of the wavelengths to the infrared heat given off by our own body. Far infrared waves penetrate into our body and activate the sweat glands. FIR resonates with your own body’s heat generation, allowing for deep heat and raising your core body temperature.
What kind of electrical source will I need and what size fuse?
Our saunas, except for 904VS/904VR 4-Person Outdoor Saunas, all saunas use the US 60HZ/120V/15A universal power supply, the length of the power cord is 3 meters (10 feet).

The 904VS/904VR 4-Person Outdoor Saunas is 60HZ/120V/20A, it is very safe to use 110V-120V power supply, and 30Amps circuit breaker required.
Does it come fully assembled? If not, what will I be responsible for?
The frame of the sauna is divided into 6 wooden boards assembled, respectively front and back, left and right, top and bottom boards, motor equipment and carbon heating panels and glass are installed on the boards.

You just need to put all the boards together in the order according to the instructions and plug in the circuit connectors between the boards and you are ready to use.

A strong person could install most infrared saunas alone. But two people can do it much more easily if they work together.

According to the honest feedback from customers, they will be installed in 20-30 minutes, we are very proud of the ease of installation.

What type of glue is used in the construction of SalusHEAT's saunas?
We use a nonchemical furniture-grade glue that's applied in between the wooden slats. Due to the nature of our products, it's important we use glue that will not off-gas.
What are the dimensions of the whole sauna, so I can be sure it fits in my home?
The dimensions of each model are different, find the dimensions in the Main Picture and Dimensions of the Product Page of your preferred sauna.
Can I place these saunas on a carpeted area?
Except for the Airy series steam saunas can not be placed on the carpet, all other infrared saunas can.
What is the maintenance for an infrared sauna?
If you sit on a towel while you’re using it, place a towel on the floor, and wipe off your sweat with another towel. You should never have to clean your saunas. Just wash the towels between sessions.

It is also not necessary to clean the exterior of the sauna. Our sauna not only undergoes a thorough electrical inspection before being packed and shipped, but we also apply a thick water-based protective film and wood wax oil to the exterior. This is especially important for outdoor saunas to protect the wood and prolong its lifespan. Avoid rubbing the wood surface too hard unless absolutely necessary.

To ensure long-lasting protection for your outdoor sauna, we recommend applying Outdoor Wood Wax Oil every six months for Fir wood, and once a year for Basswood, Mahogany, and Red cedar.

If the indoor sauna's wood surface appears visibly discolored, you can add the wood wax oil as needed.

Why Infrared?

How is an infrared sauna different than a “regular sauna?”
An infrared sauna is a type of dry sauna that uses infrared waves to warm the body from the inside out, rather than the air. “Regular” saunas are the European kinds that get super hot, so it’s hard to breathe.

SalusHEAT infrared saunas use Carbon Fiber heated elements to gently warm your skin to encourage sweat in a warm environment where it’s easy to breathe normally.

Infrared waves (also known as photobiomodulation) have been used in the medical field for many years. They are used to positively affect neural and nerve stimulation, as well as increasing wound healing time and decreasing pain.

Infrared saunas are the cheapest saunas to run because they will plug into the wall like a hairdryer and draw less than 15 amps. They cost between 20-30 cents an hour to operate.

The energy use of this Energy Efficient sauna won't break the bank. For an hour long session every day, our customers report that the cost is about 30 dollars a year.
Are infrared saunas harmful to the human body?
Absolutely not. Infrared waves (also known as photobiomodulation) have been used in the medical field for many years. They are used to positively affect neural and nerve stimulation, as well as increasing wound healing time and decreasing pain.
How do I use an infrared sauna?
Using an infrared sauna is easy! Follow just a few simple guidelines and you can increase the overall benefits of your sauna sessions. Once you're familiar with the controls of your sauna, feel free to adjust the guildelines to suits your personal needs.

1. Start low and slow. Dial down the temperature and keep your sessions short when you begin using an infrared sauna. “Start at something like 110 degrees for five to 10 minutes,” says doctor. “See how you feel, then build from there.”
2. Max time. Even if you’re an experienced sauna user, keep sessions below 30 minutes to avoid putting too much stress on your body. It’s best to limit visits to three to four times a week, too.
3. Stay hydrated. The sweat that pours out during a sauna session can leave your body’s fluid levels low. “Bring water in with you,” advises doctor. Sports drinks with electrolytes may also be a good option. (Side note: Avoid mixing alcohol with sauna use.)
4. Rinse off afterward. A shower after your sauna will wash off any toxins you sweated out before they can be reabsorbed through your skin.
What health benefits can an infrared sauna provide?
1. Improved heart health
Within minutes of sitting in an infrared sauna, your body’s natural response begins. Beads of sweat appear on your skin. Your blood vessels widen and increase blood flow. Your heart rate ticks up.
2. Soothing sore muscles
The improved blood circulation brought on by an infrared sauna session can help speed up muscle recovery following physical activity.
3. Pain relief
Researchers found that infrared sauna therapy “may be a promising method for treatment of chronic pain.”
4. Relaxation
Warming your body seems to warm your soul, too. Setting aside some sauna time may help decrease depression, anxiety and stress. Basically, think of it as a meditation session in warmer temperatures.
5. Catching ZZZs
Better sleep, which has also been linked to sauna use.
6.Fighting off illness
There’s evidence that regular sauna use can help you avoid the common cold, says Dr. Young. Saunas also reduce oxidative stress, which is associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer and degenerative diseases like dementia.
Why can't the temperature setting go higher than 149°F?
The 149F limit is an ETL safety standard built into the control panel. The 149F setting is perfect for prolonged infrared therapy sessions (up to 60 min.) while also taking user safety into account.

The temperature shown on the control panel represents the surface temperature of the infrared heating plate. If it displays 149F, the actual room temperature may have reached 180F. However, this is also dependent on the initial ambient temperature.

A good infrared sauna will not overheat your lungs. Ideally, you go inside when it’s only 25-28C (77-83F) and let the heat slowly rise while you sit inside. That way your body adapts to the rising heat. Once you start sweating, around the 37C mark (98.6F), you only need to stay inside a little while longer. Most people come out between 42-50C (108-122F).
Can I add steam or additional heaters to an infrared sauna?
No! Do not, under any circumstance, incorporate steam in to your infrared sauna. The moisture will damage the wood and electrical components. Do not, under any circumstance, install additional heaters that aren't certified by SalusHEAT. Our infrared saunas are designed to function at a safe level with their equipped heaters. Adding more heat will put you at risk for heat exhaustion, heat stroke, dehydration and other heat related conditions.
Does infrared sauna have radiation?
Infrared saunas “radiate” heat. They do not emit “radioactivity.” Nor do they emit microwave radiation. SalusHEAT infrared saunas utilize FIR (Far Infrared Radiation), not to be confused with the UV radiation in tanning beds. This infrared radiation heats your skin to approximately 100 degrees Fahrenheit, thus making you sweat and release toxins.
Are far infrared saunas expensive to run?
Infrared saunas are the cheapest saunas to run because they will plug into the wall like a hairdryer and draw less than 15 amps. They cost between 20-30 cents an hour to operate.

The energy use of this Energy Efficient sauna won't break the bank. For an hour long session every day, our customers report that the cost is about 30 dollars a year.
Who should not use a far infrared sauna?
It is always a caution for a pregnant woman with saunas. Raising the core body temperature of a woman, especially in the first trimester can have a permanent negative effect on fetal brain development.

Anyone advised against entering a low-heat infrared sauna by a medical professional should also take caution.

However, many people in typically weakened states such as cardiac illness, diabetes or even Multiple Sclerosis have reported they can tolerate the gentle heat of a medical grade sauna, as long as they do it under a doctor’s guidance and maintain ample fresh air ventilation into the cabin.
