Far Infrared Saunas don't just look cool with their glowing light panels; they bring the heat in a whole new way compared to old-school saunas. While traditional saunas warm up the entire space, the lamps in Far Infrared Saunas focus a warm, penetrating glow directly on your skin, delivering unique heat-therapy benefits. Far Infrared Saunas typically hit temperatures between 43 and 57 degrees Celsius (110 and 135 degrees Fahrenheit), making them a bit cooler than the 65 to 90 degrees Celsius (150 to 195 degrees Fahrenheit) range of traditional saunas.
Here's the lowdown: Far Infrared Saunas work their magic on a cellular level, penetrating human tissue and cranking up the body's core temperature for a detoxifying effect. On the flip side, traditional saunas heat up the air and the cabin, making your body sweat to cool down. Far Infrared Saunas are the gentle giants here, operating at a more comfortable temperature while producing a sweat loaded with 20% toxins, compared to the 3% in a traditional sauna.
Prioritise hydration. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after. Opt for electrolyte-rich beverages and avoid heavy meals. Consult your healthcare provider if you have any health concerns.
Start slow and steady, aiming for 15 to 18 minutes. Remember, the detoxification continues for about 30 to 60 minutes after you step out, so hold off on the immediate shower to maximise the benefits.
Start with short sessions and let your body acclimate. Focus on relaxation, deep breathing, and let the Far Infrared heat do its thing. Stay hydrated, and consider using the time for meditation or some quiet reflection.
Get ready to sweat, but trust us, it's worth it! Far Infrared Saunas don't just warm the air; their panels send a deep, penetrating heat into your body. As your heart rate goes up and your blood vessels open wide, your skin gets a boost in blood flow, improving circulation and collagen production.
Our Far Infrared sauna boasts advanced heating technology with 6 heating plates covering three walls, an additional leg heater, and an extra door heating panel for extra heat and exposure.
This comprehensive setup ensures even and efficient heat distribution warmth, while providing efficient and low EMF (Electromagnetic Field) for a thoroughly relaxing and safe experience.
The main difference lies in the type of infrared light they use.
-
Far Infrared Saunas: These saunas emit only far infrared light, which penetrates deeper into the skin to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and help with pain relief.
-
Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas: These saunas provide a broader range of infrared light, including near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths. This allows for a more comprehensive therapeutic experience, offering benefits from all three types of infrared light, such as enhanced detoxification, skin rejuvenation, and deeper relaxation.

The main difference lies in the type of heat they use and how they affect the body:
-
Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas: These use infrared light, which directly heats the body rather than the air around you. They offer a broader range of infrared wavelengths (near, mid, and far), allowing for deeper tissue penetration, enhanced detoxification, skin rejuvenation, and relaxation.
-
Traditional Saunas: These use heat to warm the air, which then warms your body. They operate at higher temperatures (typically 70-100°C) and use either electric heaters or wood stoves. The heat is more intense, and the air can become very dry or steamy, depending on the sauna type.
In summary, Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas provide a gentler, more targeted heat, while traditional saunas use ambient heat to warm the body.

Cold therapy involves short-term exposure to cold stress, activating the bodys healing mechanisms. Ice barrels and tubs utilise cold water immersion, immersing the body, preferably up to the neck, in 4°C-15°C (40-60°F) water for a duration of time, from a few seconds up to 15 mins, depending on individual and goals.
This supports overall well-being and reduces muscle soreness, fatigue, inflammation and many other health benefits. Cold Water: A temperature Guide
Ice baths are crucial not only for post-exercise recovery but also prior to workout pre-cooling, reducing muscle soreness and inflammation, and promoting well-being such as activating the immune system (fewer infections and flu symptoms), anti-ageing, arthritis and joint pain, mental health and not forgetting how it can also be a personal challenge. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts often use ice baths to expedite recovery.
Ice baths offer numerous benefits, including reduced muscle soreness, enhanced recovery, improved circulation, stress reduction (mental break), potential immune support, and overall well-being. Cold water habituation improves HRV, providing better mental balance, potentially better sleep, decreased blood pressure and improved insulin sensitivity (preventing type 2 diabetes).
While cold showers are a good start, ice baths provide a more intense experience, triggering a protective response in the body. Hydrostatic pressure enhances heat transfer efficiency. Studies show cold water immersion is the most beneficial cold therapy for exercise recovery.
Diving into an ice bath without considering factors such as temperature, cold sensitivity, skin/body exposure, duration, lifestyle (including day-to-day cold tolerances affected by overall health, stress, lack of sleep, etc.), the amount of stress/pressure an individual is under, heart rate, blood pressure, HRV, body weight, body fat percentage, and gender wouldn't be ethical on our part to make a suggestion regarding what to do. For specific cold exposure dosages and protocols, we provide guidance with our ice barrel rentals.
However, if you're new to ice baths and considering renting one from us while you wait for delivery, we suggest starting to acclimate yourself with quick cold showers.
Certainly, immersion in cold water can be an effective pre-cooling strategy before sports activities, specifically weight training. The method offers benefits such as temperature reduction, decreased heat stress, improved endurance, enhanced recovery, and potential vasoconstriction to alleviate inflammation.
It's important to consider individual tolerance, exposure duration, and sport-specific needs, and individuals with medical concerns should consult with a healthcare professional.
Cold plunging for the first time can be overwhelming, which is why we strongly suggest doing this with a professional guide and not being alone.
Unfortunately, with the popularity of ice baths, there has been a general expectation for individuals to plunge into cold water at 5°C or less.
There's a remarkably pervasive belief that we're all the same! However, what may benefit one person could be harmful to another.
Research and experience have shown that a one-size-fits-all approach limits the effectiveness of cold exposure.
In our experience, you will need at least one in-person support and guidance sessions, so we include them at the beginning of every new customer's rental period.
After an ice bath, remove the wet swimsuit, dry yourself with a towel and warm up gradually by wearing a bathrobe. Engage in light activity (generate body heat), stay hydrated (sip a warm drink), and nourish your body. Don't worry if you're a newbie to plunging and you still feel the chill several hours after your plunge.
This is normal. This is the afterdrop, a normal physiological reaction to cold immersion. It's advisable to take 10 minutes before you use a lukewarm (but not hot) shower.
It is continued cooling after you exit icy water. Once you exit the water, you continue to cool for up to 30 minutes. This means that your core body temperature may be cooler 30 minutes after your cold plunge than when you got out.
Yes, you could stretch after a cold plunge, but wait until your body warms up naturally, and do not overdo it. Stretching when cold can cause injury, so be sure to perform light, gentle stretches.
The optimal duration for an ice bath varies depending on your experience level and desired results.
Research and experience indicate that a personalised approach is more effective than a one-size-fits-all method for cold exposure. If you're interested in determining your ideal ice bath routine, take this short quiz.
Breathe slowly and deeply. Practice this before entering the ice bath. As you start stepping into the water, exhale through your mouth to empty your lungs. Take slow, deep breaths in through your nose and exhale deeply through your mouth as you enter, continuing this for up to 20 seconds. After this initial phase, breathing becomes easier, allowing you to stay calm. Remember, it takes time for your body to adjust, so consider it a journey and relax. Focus on controlled, calm breathing to prevent panic. Your brain might signal distress initially, causing irregular breathing, but it will regulate after a few attempts. Deep exhalation before entering the cold water allows your lungs to take in more air deeply. Controlled breathing promotes calmness and reduces stress during the ice bath experience.
The timing of an ice bath can depend on your specific goals, activities and personal characteristics.
However, a common practice is taking an ice bath after intense physical exercise, such as workouts, competitive sports events, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), long-distance running, intense cardiovascular training, strength training, and demanding sports practices to aid muscle recovery. Individual preferences and responses vary, so you may want to experiment with timing to see what works best for you.
Additionally, consulting with a coach, sports scientist, healthcare professional, or even our guides at Recovery On Demand can provide personalised advice based on your specific needs and circumstances. If you're interested in determining the optimal timing of an ice bath routine, take this short quiz.
Yes, ice baths benefit a wide range of individuals, not exclusive to athletes.
The timing of an ice bath depends on personal preference and when it aligns best with your routine. Some prefer it post-morning workout for revitalisation, while others opt for the evening to aid recovery and promote relaxation before bedtime. Do note you are more sensitive to the cold in the morning. For a beginner, it is better to plunge later in the day. Experiment to find what suits you, and consider consulting with a healthcare or fitness professional or our team for personalised advice.
For the most experienced cold plungers, daily sessions are generally acceptable.
However, for most people, limiting cold plunging to 2-3 times a week is recommended to allow the body proper recovery time.
It's crucial to find what works best for you, ensuring it complements your other pursuits and goals. This is why we developed our Recovery Rewards Program, Custom Protocols, and challenges for active members to support a positive routine and sustained momentum without conflicting with your other objectives.
Yes, it is possible to overdo cold plunges. While cold plunges have benefits, it's important to find the right balance. Prolonged exposure to extremely cold temperatures can lead to adverse effects such as hypothermia, frostbite, or other cold-related injuries.
Additionally, excessive use of cold plunges without adequate recovery time may contribute to overtraining or stress on the body.
It's crucial to listen to your body, follow recommended guidelines for exposure duration, and consult with healthcare professionals or fitness experts, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.
While ice baths offer many benefits, there are potential risks. Extended exposure to cold can lead to hypothermia, so it's crucial to follow guidelines and not overdo it. If you have underlying health conditions, consult a healthcare professional before starting ice baths.
Individuals with medical conditions such as heart problems, circulation issues, or pregnancy, or injuries should consult a healthcare provider before using ice baths, as they may not be suitable for everyone. Safety should always be a top priority.
Some people may experience discomfort during the initial stages of an ice bath, including shivering, skin redness, or a rapid heartbeat. These are common reactions and typically subside as the body adjusts to the cold. If discomfort persists or becomes severe, it's advisable to exit the ice bath. Under no circumstances, should you plunge if you feel ill or are under the influence of alcohol.
It depends on your specific health conditions and fitness goals. Cold plunges can offer benefits like reduced muscle soreness, improved recovery, and improved immune system. However, individuals with certain health conditions, such as cardiovascular issues, respiratory problems, or Raynaud's disease, should consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating cold plunges into their routine. Additionally, if you're aiming for specific fitness goals, it's advisable to consider the potential impact of cold plunges on muscle hypertrophy or training adaptations. Always prioritise safety and consult with a healthcare or fitness professional to ensure that cold plunges align with your individual health and fitness needs.
Ice baths can be safe for children and seniors, but they should be used with caution. It's essential to adapt the water temperature and duration to suit the individual's tolerance and comfort. Consulting with a healthcare provider is advisable, especially for seniors.
Although they might temporarily increase calorie burn, ice baths are not a sustainable method for weight loss. Their primary benefits are related to recovery.
When adopting a new cold plunge habit and routine, it's advisable to track various factors such as frequency, water temperature, duration, heart rate, etc.
Doing this alongside other healthy activities (exercise, nutrition, sleep, etc) will help you assess if your goals (if weight loss or fat reduction is your goal) are being achieved or not.
In addittion, there is a fair bit of research around how ice baths can activate brown fat. Brown fat is associated with increased metabolism and may be a means of combating obesity and type 2 diabetes.
The timing of a cold plunge in relation to meals is a matter of personal preference. Some individuals prefer to take a cold plunge on an empty stomach, while others do so after eating. There isn't a strict rule, and it depends on how your body responds. Taking a cold plunge on an empty stomach may provide a more immediate energising effect, while doing so after a meal might be more comfortable for some. Listen to your body and consider how you feel before and after the plunge to determine what works best for you. As with any wellness practice, it's advisable to experiment and observe how your body responds to find the timing that aligns with your comfort and well-being.
Yes, you can cold plunge while on your period. Cold plunging during menstruation is a personal choice, and it depends on your comfort level. Some individuals find that cold exposure helps alleviate menstrual discomfort and reduces bloating, while others may prefer to avoid it. If you choose to cold plunge during your period, it's essential to use hygienic measures, such as wearing appropriate menstrual products. As always, listen to your body and make decisions based on your comfort and well-being. If you have specific health concerns or conditions, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating cold plunging or any new wellness practice into your routine.
Wear swimwear or suitable clothing for comfort. Entering icy water (typically less than 10°C (50°F)) can lead to numbness and pain, especially in the extremities like hands and feet.
Neoprene socks and gloves help protect these areas, making them popular accessories, especially for your first few plunges.
Additionally, long-arm neoprene swimming vests and costumes are also favoured choices. Avoid sharp objects or accessories that may damage the interior.
Enhance the experience with deep breathing, relaxation techniques, warm clothing, a cosy spot to warm up, and soothing music.
The ice barrel offers a unique seated experience, focusing on specific areas like the legs and lower body. Its efficient upright design allows for comfortable full-body submersion, providing a versatile at-home wellness tool that seamlessly fits into any space. The barrel design offers a smaller footprint and requires less water. On the other hand, the ice bath provides a full-body immersion experience immediately upon entering, which is more favourable to experienced plungers. Although bigger than the barrel, the tub is more mobile and portable, allowing you to enjoy it in various indoor or outdoor settings for a flexible wellness routine.
No need! We handle setup and breakdown for you. Just let us know where you want it.
Our ice baths can reach temperatures as low as 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 degrees Fahrenheit).
Typically, it takes about 5 hours for the water to reach the desired temperature (25°C to 3°C (77°F to 37.4°F)). To adjust the temperature 2°C to 5°C, its a matter of minutes. Keep in mind that factors like room temperature and initial water temperature can affect this.
It's easy! Our barrels and baths come with a programmable thermostat for precise temperature control.
Absolutely! We use ozone sanitation and a 5-micron filter for a hygienic soaking experience.
Ozone filters devices are designed to sanitise and purify the water in the ice bath by using ozone gas. Ozone (O3) is a powerful oxidising agent and disinfectant that is highly effective at killing bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
Here's how ozone filters typically work:
-
Ozone Generation: Ozone is generated by passing oxygen (O2) through an ozone generator, which converts some of the O2 molecules into O3 molecules.
-
Injection into Water: The ozone gas is then injected into the water in the ice bath. As it mixes with the water, ozone reacts with organic and inorganic contaminants, breaking them down and neutralising them.
-
Disinfection: Ozone effectively kills bacteria, viruses, algae, and other microorganisms present in the water. It also helps to remove unpleasant odours and tastes caused by organic compounds.
Benefits of ozone filters for ice baths include:
-
Efficient Disinfection: Ozone is a potent disinfectant, effectively sterilising the water.
-
Chemical-Free: Unlike other water treatment methods, ozone does not leave behind chemical residues, making it safe and environmentally friendly.
-
Odour and Taste Reduction: Ozone helps to eliminate unpleasant odours and tastes in the water, resulting in a cleaner and fresher bathing experience.
After removing the lid, you'll enter from the top and settle into a comfortable position. We also provide a small ladder when renting the barrel, to help you get in.
If it's your first time, we recommend always having another person present while you are in the barrel/tub for your safety. You might experience numbness after an ice bath, which can make it hard to get out by yourself.
We recommend changing the filter at least once every 2-6 weeks to maintain clean water. This frequency may vary depending on the overall hygiene practices of those using the plunge.
We provide extra filters depending on the length of your rental period.
Leave it plugged in! The GFCI protection ensures that you won't experience stray electrical currents escaping from the electrical system - even if you spill a little water. GFCI is the same protection that modern homes use in kitchens and bathrooms to prevent electrical injury in places that might get wet. This ensures your safety in your barrel or tub whether it is on or off. We would advise to plug switch off button and chiller unit off button prior to entering the water.
Cleaning and maintaining your barrel or tub is a breeze. Both the ice barrel and tub utilise a chiller system, ensuring crystal-clear water and hassle-free maintenance. The 100% self-cleaning feature, along with routine maintenance performed by our team, keeps your equipment in top shape, providing you with an optimal and hygienic experience. We also include a Chlorine eco-friendly sanitising Spa Stick and a Oil/Dirt Buoy Sponge to combrat algae and bacteria.
Yes, access to water is essential for the setup. We'll conveniently connect the ice bath or tub to either your bathroom or kitchen using the provided hose. Additionally, we use a carbon-filtered hose to ensure clean water during the initial filling of the barrel or tub.
Filling the tub is a straightforward process. We'll use the hose connected from your main water supply to the barrel / tub. Our goal is to make the setup as seamless as possible, and we provide clear instructions and assistance to ensure you have a smooth and easy experience while preparing for your wellness sessions. If you have any questions about the filling process, our team is always ready to offer guidance and support.
Changing or draining the water is a simple process. We provide a hose that connects from the barrel or bath to the drainage, typically located in the kitchen or bathroom. This ensures a convenient and hassle-free way to manage the water in your barre or tubl. If you ever need assistance or have questions about the process, our team is just a message or call away to guide you through it.
The chiller is designed to automatically switch on and off based on the water temperature inside the barrel/bath, maintaining the desired level. You don't need to unplug the chilling machine. However, you can turn off the chiller between uses for peace of mind. Please note, allow sufficient time for the water to cool down before the next use after switching it off.
The space required for setup depends on the specific model you choose. In general, ensure you have enough room for the ice bath or barrel, the chiller, and allow space for safe entry and exit. For safety precautions, it's advisable to place the setup on a non-slip surface, enhancing stability and ensuring a secure environment during your sessions.

Hydration is key, so pack water, towels, and maybe a good read. Leave the electronics behind; they're not fans of extreme temperatures. Take this quiet time to destress, relax, and detach from the outside world.
Cool down gradually, rehydrate, and maybe consider a refreshing shower. The goal is to relax and allow your body to recover after the sauna session.
While it's not a must-do, a post-sauna shower is recommended for hygiene reasons. Sweating opens up pores, and a good rinse helps wash away toxins released through sweat. If you opt for a delayed shower, make sure you clean up thoroughly afterwards.
It's best to skip lotions in the sauna to maximise detoxification through sweating. Adding products like makeup, perfumes, or oils can block pores, hindering sweating.
Discover sauna benefits like detoxification and improved skin and immune health. Our team can guide you on enhancing sauna sweat with methods like essential oils, muscle-warming lotions, and tonic recipes to increase body heat and sweating.
It's advisable to be cautious with electronics in the sauna due to potential increases in electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Limiting exposure by leaving devices outside or in a designated low-EMF compartment can contribute to a more serene and health-focused sauna experience.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist first if you're on prescription medication. Some drugs may react to Infrared waves or increased body temperature. Better safe than sorry!
It’s best to avoid using an infrared sauna during pregnancy unless you have explicit clearance from your medical provider. Please consult with your doctor before considering infrared sauna use while pregnant.
While there is limited research specifically on infrared sauna use during breastfeeding, many health professionals consider it generally safe if you're well-hydrated and not overheating. However, we strongly recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before use to ensure it’s appropriate for your individual circumstances.
If you have silicone breast implants or other prosthetics, we recommend consulting your surgeon before using a sauna. While many individuals with implants use saunas without issue, there is limited clinical data, and it’s best to seek personalized advice to ensure safety and comfort.
Children, especially those under 12, should not use an Infrared Sauna without first consulting a medical professional. Their bodies are more sensitive to heat and may not regulate temperature as effectively as adults. If approved by a doctor, sessions should be shorter (5–10 minutes), at lower temperatures (no more than 45°C), and always supervised by an adult.
Yes, elderly individuals can use an Infrared Sauna, but it's essential to consult a healthcare provider beforehand—especially if there are existing health conditions such as cardiovascular issues, low blood pressure, or medications that affect heat sensitivity. Sessions should begin at lower temperatures and shorter durations, gradually increasing as tolerated. Always ensure proper hydration and supervision if needed
There’s no strong evidence suggesting that morning or evening sessions are universally better. The best time to use a Infrared Sauna depends on your personal routine and wellness goals.
If you’re following a detox protocol, for instance, it’s important to align sauna use with your healthcare provider’s guidance or the specific requirements of your program.
Aside from the time of day, what matters more is how sauna sessions fit around other activities. For example, a crossover study on male long-distance runners found that using a sauna after exercise for three weeks increased time to exhaustion by 32%. Similarly, post-workout sauna sessions can support muscle hypertrophy and help maintain muscle mass, even during periods without training.
The ideal frequency depends on your goals. For general wellness or detoxification, 2 to 3 sessions per week is a good starting point. If you're targeting more specific outcomes—like muscle recovery, stress reduction, or long-term detox—daily use is generally considered safe, provided you stay well-hydrated and listen to your body.
Not quite. While both promote sweating and relaxation, Infrared Saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air around you like traditional steam saunas, infrared saunas use gentle, invisible light to warm your body directly. This allows for a more comfortable experience at lower temperatures, often making it easier to enjoy longer sessions.
Yes, Infrared Saunas are known for their potential in reducing wrinkles, addressing crows feet, and promoting an enhanced overall skin tone. Some users report experiencing softer, smoother, and firmer skin with regular use.
Infrared saunas are generally safe for most people when used correctly. Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air around you, infrared saunas use light to warm your body directly, which can be a gentler experience. The heat from infrared saunas penetrates deeper into your skin, promoting relaxation, muscle recovery, and potential detoxification benefits.
However, it's important to stay hydrated and not overdo it—spending too much time in a sauna, especially if you have certain health conditions, can cause dehydration or other issues. People with specific conditions like heart disease, low blood pressure, or pregnancy should consult a healthcare professional before using an infrared sauna.
So, while far infrared therapy is generally considered safe, it's always wise to use it responsibly.
Our infrared sauna is designed with your safety in mind, including minimizing electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure.
We ensure that EMF levels are kept well below the safety standards set by international authorities, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Rest assured that it meets local health and safety regulations, providing you with a safe and effective wellness experience. You can enjoy the benefits of infrared therapy while feeling confident about the safety of the sauna.
Yes, there is evidence that infrared saunas may offer health benefits, though more research is needed. Here's a summary:
-
Pain Relief & Muscle Recovery: Some studies show that infrared saunas help reduce pain and inflammation (e.g., for chronic pain or muscle soreness). Source
-
Improved Circulation: Infrared saunas may enhance circulation by causing blood vessels to dilate, which could benefit cardiovascular health. Source
-
Relaxation & Stress Reduction: Heat therapy may trigger endorphin release, helping reduce stress. Source
-
Skin Health: Some users report improved skin, though more research is needed. Source
-
Weight Loss: Claims of significant weight loss are not strongly supported, but infrared saunas can increase calorie burn slightly. Source
Always stay hydrated and consult a healthcare provider before using one, especially with pre-existing conditions.
Keep it simple. A bathing suit or underwear works well. You're in the privacy of your own home so feel free to keep it comfy. Additionally, consider accessories like a sauna hat to protect your head and hair from the intense heat during the session.
When using a sauna, it's best to avoid wearing jewelry, makeup, lotions, or tight-fitting clothing, as these can interfere with the experience. Opt for clean, minimal attire to ensure both comfort and hygiene. This will help you get the most out of your session.
Our sauna is spacious and comfortable, designed for either one person (far infrared) or two people (full spectrum infrared).
No, infrared light won't give you a tan. Unlike UV light, which is responsible for tanning, infrared light in saunas operates in a different spectrum and doesn't affect your skin in the same way.
Absolutely! Sweating boosts circulation, resulting in glowing skin, pain relief, weight loss, stress relief, improved immune function, and more. It's a win-win!
Picture warmth, cosiness, and total relaxation. That's the vibe for the first part of your treatment. The last 10 minutes dial up the heat and sweating, but you'll stay comfy throughout.
After the session, you may feel similar to completing a workout. Anticipate an energy boost and improved mood within 30 minutes, setting the stage for a productive afternoon and a restful night's sleep. Prioritizing positive post-sauna vibes contributes to the overall experience. Cool down after the sauna with a dip in cold water or cold shower. Have you heard of hot and cold contrast therapy?

Not immediately. You'll typically begin your session when the cabin temperature is around 30–35°C (85–95°F). While the sauna may not feel intensely hot at first, the infrared heater panels are already operating at full capacity, delivering Infrared energy from the moment you step in.
This gradual warm-up allows your body to gently acclimate to the heat, which many users find beneficial.
If you prefer a warmer environment right from the start, the sauna can be preheated in approximately 10 minutes or scheduled in advance to suit your routine.

Here are a few important things to consider:
-
Power Outlet Location: Do you have a power outlet within 2.5 meters of the sauna's placement? The sauna needs to be close enough to an outlet for safe and easy connection.
-
Proper Grounding: Ensure the power outlets are properly earthed (grounded). This is crucial for safety and to prevent electrical hazards.
-
Power Capacity: Is your power supply sufficient to handle the infrared sauna, especially if you are running other devices from the same circuit? Make sure the circuit can handle the load without risk of overloading.
If you're unsure, we recommend having an electrician confirm the setup, or we can arrange for one to assess and help with the installation for an additional charge to ensure everything is safe and properly connected.
