Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Saunas
Q: Do infrared saunas require special electrical wiring?
A: Most of our 1-3 person saunas operate on a standard 120V/15A household outlet — no electrician needed! Larger models (4+ person) may require a 220V/20A dedicated circuit.
Q: How long does it take for the sauna to heat up?
A: Typically 15-20 minutes to reach optimal temperature (120-150°F). You can start using it while it heats up, as infrared panels begin producing therapeutic heat immediately.
Q: What is EMF and why does it matter?
A: EMF (Electromagnetic Field) is produced by all electrical devices. Our saunas feature Low EMF and Ultra Low/Near Zero EMF technology, keeping levels well below safety standards. This means you get all the benefits of infrared therapy without health concerns.
Q: How much space do I need?
A: Our smallest saunas (1-2 person) need approximately a 4x4 foot area. 3-4 person saunas require about 5x5 feet. We recommend leaving 6 inches of clearance on all sides.
Q: Are infrared saunas hard to assemble?
A: No! Most of our saunas feature a snap-together design that can be assembled by 2 people in 30-60 minutes. No tools required.
Q: What are the health benefits of infrared saunas?
A: Benefits include detoxification, pain relief, improved circulation, muscle recovery, stress reduction, better sleep, skin rejuvenation, and cardiovascular health. Always consult your doctor before starting any new wellness routine.
About Cold Plunges
Q: What temperature should a cold plunge be?
A: Most experts recommend 50-59°F (10-15°C) for optimal cold therapy benefits. Beginners should start at the warmer end and gradually work down.
Q: How long should I stay in a cold plunge?
A: Start with 1-2 minutes and work up to 5-10 minutes. Never exceed 15 minutes. Always listen to your body.
Q: Do cold plunges require plumbing?
A: No! Our cold plunge tubs are standalone units. Simply fill with water, plug in the chiller (if equipped), and you're ready to go.
