Floor and drain

There must be drainage inside the steam room. The floor
should slope down towards the drain. The flooring may be
seamless vinyl, quarry tiles, etc. The foundation work and
jointing are to be in the same manner as for a wet
Note! Where the flooring and walls are of plastic, beneath the
steam nozzle there may arise minor color changes from
contact with steam and hot water.

Ventilation

Generally steam rooms that are in use for periods of less
than 2 hours do not need any ventilation. All steam rooms in
continuous use for more than 2 hours must have an air
exchange rate of 10-20 m³ air per person per hour, for
hygienic and functional reasons.
Any cavity above the steam room ceiling should not be
completely sealed. Leave at least one vent hole (100cm²) on
the same wall as the steam room door.
Inlet vent
Must be an opening at a low level through the door wall or a
gap under the door.
Outlet vent
Must be placed high on a wall or on the ceiling and as far
from the inlet vent as possible, although not above the door
or at a seating location. The outlet vent must be connected to
a ventilation duct to take the air outdoors. An existing duct
could be utilized. The ventilation duct must be completely
sealed and made of a material that can tolerate high air
humidity. Water pockets, where condensed water can collect
and cause blockages, must not be present. If the ventilation
duct must have a water pocket, a water trap is installed to
drain condensed water to a drain.
The size of the outlet vent depends on the requirement that it
must be able to evacuate 10-20 m³ air per person per hour.
Mechanical extraction
If extraction ventilation provided by the natural ventilation
principle is insufficient, perhaps due to low pressure in the
room from which air is supplied to the steam room,
mechanical ventilation must be connected and adjusted to
extract a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 20 m³ per person
per hour.

The steam generator functions:

All Tylö steam generators of the Home and Commercial type
are equipped with:
•
A stainless steel water tank
•
Acid-proof stainless steel tube elements
•
Automatic emptying 60 minutes after the steam bath
has been switched off
•
Automatic flushing clean after emptying
•
3-division output
•
Electronic water level regulation
•
Electronic level protection
•
Limescale removing self-cleaning electrodes
•
Continuous steam production
•
Always the correct power, regardless of the water
quality and level
•
Built-in safety valve
•
built-in temperature protection
•
Built-in dirt filter
•
Automation for remote control
•
Rinse-proof design
•
IP class 23
•
Fault code clearing
room.
•

Automatic emptying

•
Non-return valve
•
Backflow protection
Automatic emptying
The steam generator empties out part of its water
automatically after 4 hours (factory setting). This automation
considerably reduces the build-up of limescale and pollutants
in the water tank.
For the automatic emptying and flushing to work, the circuit
breaker between the distribution board and the steam
generator or main power switch must not be switched off
before at least 70 minutes have elapsed since the timer on
the control panel has timed out.

Descaling

Some of the limescale released into the steam generator is
flushed out during automatic emptying and flushing, but
some remains. Tylö water softener (Tylö Item no. 9090 8025)
filters out the limescale and thus prevents it from reaching
the steam generator, which directly contributes to a longer
life. Empty the tank after each use of the sauna. To extend
the unit's life and reduce the need for manual descaling, a
steam generator for public use must be connected to a water
softener to remove limescale. This is particularly important if
the water hardness is over 4°dH (German water hardness
degrees). The descaling agent must not produce foam or
give off harmful chemicals. This may cause an incorrect
water level to be indicated in the tank, triggering the
temperature cut-out (after some time the element will break).
