Heats to 195°F

The Saunum Air heater can reach temperatures of 195F providing an intense yet comfortable sauna experience.

Safety is a top priority, with several built-in features to prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation. These include a high limiter inside the unit, an internal thermal sensor, a door sensor to detect open doors, a software sensor for operational monitoring, and a PCP board sensor for system stability. Together, these features provide a safe and controlled environment for extended sauna sessions.

Air-Blending Technology

Saunum’s patented air blending system draws hot air from the ceiling and mixes it with cooler, oxygen-rich air from the floor, distributing more breathable and comfortable steam throughout the sauna. This process equalizes the temperature by over 60%, creating a more balanced environment for a better sauna experience.

As a result, users can enjoy longer sessions, more intense sweating, and greater overall comfort. This system significantly enhances both relaxation and health benefits.

External Control Unit

The Saunum Air heater uses a digital controller that allows users to easily adjust the temperature, humidity, and air circulation settings for a customized sauna experience. It is equipped with Wi-Fi capability, enabling remote control via a mobile app. This gives users the convenience of setting their preferred sauna conditions from anywhere.

The controller also supports specific wellness modes like air ionization from the salt orbs, enhancing both comfort and health benefits during sauna sessions.

Includes Salt Spheres

The Saunum Air heater includes Himalayan salt orbs, which release beneficial ions into the air when heated. These negative ions are known to improve air quality, helping to purify the environment and enhance overall well-being. The salt orbs also contribute to a more pleasant and comfortable sauna atmosphere by enriching the air with trace minerals. This feature supports the heater's goal of providing both unmatched comfort and a health-enhancing sauna experience.

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!
