Warrantywhat this means: WarrantyThe warranty term the manufacturer publishes, in years. Some makers instead warrant the sauna structure for the life of the original owner, which this column shows as "Limited lifetime"; that is a different promise from a fixed number of years and covers the shell rather than the heater, so the two are not ranked against each other. | 5 yr |
Exterior dimensionswhat this means: Exterior dimensionsThree figures as the manufacturer publishes them. The source does not name which is width, depth or height, so this site does not label them either. | 69" x 68" x 89" (roof overhang: adds 4" to depth) |
| Power requirements | 240V / 40AMP (Stove) and 120V / 15AMP (Control for Lights and Music) (Please consult a certified electrician.)The maker publishes a 40 amp circuit. Sized from the 8 kW heater by the 125 percent continuous load rule, the minimum is 45 amps on 6 AWG copper. NEC 422 gives the rating marked on a listed appliance authority over that calculation, so both figures can be right; your electrician decides which applies to your run. Check it on the calculator. |
