Warning:
The following information is presented as an aid to those installing a steam generator or constructing a steam room. Due to complex construction variables, climate variances and changes in the manufacturing specifications, this information represents suggestions only. It is recommended that you consult your architect, material manufacturer and/or specification engineer regarding your particular installation. Please use "Disclaimer" at the end of this guide.
Objective:
When planning a steam room project the objectives of comfort and relaxation should be kept in mind. A room properly designed and constructed should maintain a temperature range of 115° to 120° Farenheit, heat to this temperature in 15 to 20 minutes and have a comfortable and relaxing seating arrangement. If space permits, seating which allows the bather to recline or even to lay down greatly enhances the steam bath experience
Model Selection Considerations:
1. Water quality. The more impurities or minerals in the water the more flushing or filtration is required to reduce build up in the tank. An automatic flush and water filtration system should be considered where the water quality is poor to reduce manual flush maintenance requirements.
2. Thermostatic Control. The thermostatic controller gives the option to regulate the temperature of the room hotter or cooler to comfort. In installations where the steam generator is used frequently and for greater length of time the cost of a thermostatic control may be justified to provide a more even temperature in the steam room.
3. Digital Display. The preferences of the bather may be for simple on/off simplicity or for more advanced feedback, set temperature, temperature in the steam room and remaining steam bath duration
