Using Sauna
HOW TO USE A SAUNA
There are no any strict etiquette how to use your own sauna, But here are some tips and quidelines you might consider.
Take a quick shower prior to using the sauna. In sauna you can use a bathing suit, towel or bathrope or go fully naked . If you have guests it’s polite and recommend to ask their preffered “outfit”. Whether you’re nude or not, it is recommend to use a small, thin towel (preferably linen) you can sit on. There are also disposable paper underlays in stores.
Desired temperature and humidity depends on how long you warm the heater and how you adjust ventilation shutters.By throwing water to the heater increases humidity and air feels more hot. If you want to stay in sauna but temperature is too high in upper seat you can also change your seat level – air is cooler in lower benches.
Usually you spend around 10-20 minutes in sauna, before cooling down. If you’re unexperienced start slowly (5-10 minutes per session). You can build up your tolerance for the heat over multiple visits. We also recommend drinking water to keep your body hydrated. You can repeat this as many times you want, even up to three hours. Cold shower or a plunge in cold water helps your body to cool down and also tolerate heat better. Or You can just warm up a bit in sauna by taking shorter visits and/or not throwing water to the heater.
IMPORTANT! Never let yourself fall asleep in a sauna.
HOW TO WASH-UP IN SAUNA
If you want to wash up in sauna you carry buckets of water to sauna. In Finland we usually have one big water bucket which we fill up when starting to heat sauna. That way the water has time to warm up a bit if needed.
HOW TO CHANNEL USED WATER OUT?
Premium Model.
In our Premium model floor is slightly slanted which drains used water to water slot drain. From there the water is channeled to 50mm sewer pipe connected to near by sewer or water filter. We recommend this if you’re planning to wash-up frequently in your sauna.
