STEAM GENERATOR SIZING QUIZ:

Length of steam room

Width of steam room

Height of steam room

Is your ceiling going to be slanted?

How long do you prefer to stay in the steam room each time?

What size pipes do you have?

How far will the generator be from the steam room?

Are there any cold un-insulated windows?

Will you have a glass door?

Will you have a solid bench that takes up 40 to 60 cubic feet?

What material will you be using? (ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, other)?

Do you want to have to splash cold water on the ceiling and upper walls a few times during the session?

If you have a ceiling over 7 foot, would you prefer to upsize the killowatt size or use a fan to bring down the steam trap?

If you are in the middle of two killowatt sizes, what would you most likely do?

My sizing chart is designed to help you choose a steam generator kilowatt size based on the answers you choose.

Take the Sizing Quiz below.

What temperature range do you want your steam room to be at?

Be sure not to oversize it. Less dense dry steam is better than just more wet steam.

Do you want your steam room more relaxing or more therapeutic?

Steam with less humidity is more relaxing and easier to breath in.

Do you know the R value of your wall insulation where the steam room will be?

(This is another factor in getting the right killowatt size generator).

Do you know what type of water pressure reducer you need for your unit?

All types of problems happen if you don't have this if your generator needs it.

How fast do you want your heat up time till the room is at 100% humidity?

Faster steam often results in wetter steam. A dryer gassier steam will take longer but most people tell me just a few extra minutes is worth the wait for better steam.

Warning: Steamrooms that heat up too quickly and get to 100% humidity too quick will not be able to condense the steam faster than the generator is producing it. This is the biggest problem people run into.

What is the longest time you want to wait till the next steam duty cycle to kick back on without having to pour water on the sensor?

Are you going to be using a water softener?

Those that have hard water unless the tank is 304 surgical steel and the elements are as well will run into limescale problems.

Will you stay in the steam room for the entire session?

Letting cool drafts in especially with wet steam will make the steam even wetter.

Some generators make wetter steam and have a higher latent heat index and increase your pulse rate higher than normal 75bpm.

Do you understand the difference between Saturated Steam (DRY) and Unsaturated Steam (WET) from my site?

Do you want a more continuous or pulsed steam with longer pauses in steam until the room cools down

Most people don't know this if they haven't tried both types. Please take my steam quiz if you haven't already. I must know the kilowatt size before picking out the brand. Everything must be balanced and in equilibrium to get just the right steam quality.

How intense do you like our steam.

Don't confuse intensity with high latent heat index with a hot room and little steam.
