Recommended accessories
We recommend the following accessories to make
sauna bathing an easy and enjoyable experience. Wa-
ter bucket and ladle are necessary: they can be used to
throw a suitable amount of water on the sauna heater.
Thermometer makes it easy to monitor the temperature
both while heating up the sauna as well as maintaining
the heat. Sauna bench towels make it easy to maintain
hygiene; the benches do not feel hot and the towels
decorate the sauna beautifully. Different kinds of sau-
na scents create a complete sauna experiences for the
senses; e.g. the eucalyptus sauna scent opens up your
nose if you have a cold (always remember to read the
instructions on the sauna scent package).
We recommend using organic sauna scents. They are environmentally friendly. Sauna and ba-
thing hats protect the bathers from cold, especially while cooling off outside in cold weather. In
Finland, we also use a sauna whisk during the summer. The sauna whisk is bound out of birch
twigs, and we Finns use it to gently whip ourselves. Using the whisk improves the circulation of
blood in the body.
Sauna and hot tub – best friends forever!
In Finland, saunas and tubs are best friends forever: where there's a tub, there's a sauna. It feels
great to step outside to the yard from the heat of the sauna to cool off and plunge into the even
temperature of the hot tub to relax. The hot tub itself is a pleasure, crowned by bathing in the
sauna. Inside the sauna, you can enjoy the quiet only broken by the hissing of the sauna heater,
while in the hot tub you can listen to the sounds of the surrounding nature.
SAUNA CARE AND SAFETY
Replacing the sauna heater stones
Maintenance is a part of the normal use of the sauna heater. The stones should be replaced
regularly to ensure that the sauna heater operates well and flawlessly. The stones disintegra-
te slowly under the thermal stress. The stones do not need to be replaced every year, but they
should be restacked. In the sauna, we have used traditional Harvia sauna heater stones.
