Key Features

Made for Heavy Use

Long Lifespan

Flexible Placement

External Control Unit

Made for Heavy Use

Because the Virta Pro is robust and rocks are separated from the heating elements, it is perfect for people who are looking for long and frequent sauna sessions. Virta achieves smooth and gentle heat with the best technology and the right amount of stones. All Harvia heaters can reach 190F

Since the stone space is separated from the heating elements, that keeps the sauna preheating time quite short.

The heater needs 200lbs of stones.

Long Lifespan

Harvia Virta Pro sauna heaters are easy to install, all the connections are made through the service hatch at the front. Because the heating elements are separated from the stones, the lifespan of the heater is longer.

If a heating element needs to be replaced, it can be done quickly and easily, as the entire heating element package can be pulled out of the heater. Other maintenance actions have also been considered in the design of the heaters from the beginning.

Flexible Placement

The free-standing rectangular design of Virta offers a lot of flexibility for your sauna design. You can place the heater in the middle of your sauna room, in the corner, or embed it into the sauna benches.

External Control Unit

The heater is controlled by an external controller. With its sleek and elegant touchscreen design, the sauna heater controls may be surface or flush-mounted and adjust for time duration, temperature, and room lighting. There is also a Wi-Fi option for turning the heater on remotely.

Highly Recommend This Company

The team at Soaknsweat was absolutely incredible. I honestly didn’t think customer service like this still existed. Kris and the crew actually answered the phone, patiently walked me through every question, and helped me make several key decisions for my sauna setup. They followed up quickly, were extremely professional, and truly earned my business and recommendation. Their YouTube content was also a huge help during the planning phase — and one of the main reasons I chose to order from them. Thanks, team!

Building Phase

I’m currently in the process of designing and building a sauna. After a lot of online research and frustration, I discovered Soak 'n Sweat — and it was a game changer. Their educational page covers every aspect of sauna design and answered nearly all my questions through detailed articles and videos. When I reached out via chat, Kris patiently addressed the rest of my questions without any pushy sales tactics. These folks really know their stuff, provide great products, and make the whole experience smooth and informative. Thank you!

Kris even went above and beyond by giving me a call, making it easy to get answers right away — and it was after business hours! Their knowledge, patience, and genuine willingness to help made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I’m extremely impressed with their customer service and highly recommend Soak 'n Sweat to anyone looking for quality products and exceptional support.
