Steam rooms are typically heated by generating steam through the heating of water. 

There are a few common methods for heating a steam room:

Steam Generator: A steam generator is a device specifically designed to produce steam. It consists of a tank or chamber where water is heated to produce steam, the steam is released into the steam room through vents or outlets. Steam generators may use electricity, gas, or other heating elements to heat the water.

The key is to heat water to the point where it evaporates into steam, creating the humid environment characteristic of a steam room. The steam is then circulated into the room to create the desired atmosphere for relaxation and wellness.

Yes, Deciding where to place a steam generator for a steam room installation involves careful consideration of several factors related to accessibility, ventilation, plumbing, and safety. Here are some guidelines for choosing the location to install a steam generator, whether inside or outside the house:

General Considerations for Both Indoor and Outdoor Installation:

• Compliance with Local Codes: Check local building codes and regulations for steam room installations, including requirements for electrical wiring, plumbing, and ventilation.
• Proximity to Steam Room: Install the steam generator as close as possible to the steam room to minimize plumbing runs and heat loss in steam delivery. SAWO recommends a maximum of 7.5m from the steam room outlet in the room. Common locations are nearby utility room, laundry, basement or outside wall (if installed outside a waterproof cover with adequate ventilation will be required to ensure the unit does not get wet).
• Steam Generator must be accessible and minimum clearance guidelines must be followed to allow for servicing when required.
• Professional Installation: Steam generator installation should be done by a qualified technician or contractor experienced in steam room installations to ensure safety and compliance with manufacturer specifications.

Sawo steam generators are available in various KW, ranging from lower capacities (e.g., 3 kW) suitable for smaller steam rooms to higher capacities (e.g., 9 kW, 12 kW, 18 kW, etc.) for larger steam rooms.

• The power rating of the steam generator will determine the electrical load it draws and the corresponding circuit breaker and wiring requirements.

1. Circuit Breaker and Wiring: 

• Ensure that the electrical circuit supplying power to the steam generator is equipped with a suitable circuit breaker and wiring capable of handling the rated electrical load (amperage) of the steam generator.
• Consult with a qualified electrician to determine the correct circuit breaker size and wiring specifications based on the specific power rating of the steam generator.

2.Installation Requirements:

• Follow all manufacturer's guidelines and local electrical codes/regulations for the installation of the steam generator. Installation should be performed by a licensed electric
