Know before you buy
No, the Xenio digital control panel is sold separately. You will need to purchase it to operate the heater, as it is required for controlling temperature and timing.
This unit is designed for sauna rooms between 250 and 425 cubic feet. If your sauna falls within this range, the 8kW output will provide efficient heating and consistent steam.
The 50-pound stone capacity allows for better heat retention and more consistent steam production, or 'löyly.' More stones provide a larger surface area for water to evaporate, resulting in a smoother, more authentic sauna experience.
While the wall-mounted design is straightforward, this unit requires a 240V, 1-phase electrical connection. Because of the high-voltage requirements, we strongly recommend having a licensed electrician handle the installation to ensure safety and code compliance.
Yes, this heater is engineered with serviceable heating elements. This design allows you to replace individual elements if they wear out over time, rather than needing to replace the entire unit.
Yes, the system supports an 8-hour delay timer when used with the compatible Xenio control panel. This allows you to schedule the sauna to be heated and ready for use at a specific time.
