Can I put a shower in the sauna?
Absolutely not. We’ve seen competitors offering showers inside electric saunas, but with a critical catch: it voids the heater warranty. This is fundamentally unsafe and irresponsible. Here’s why: CSA safety regulations strictly prohibit water faucets in the same room as electric sauna heaters. Installing a shower directly violates these rules. Furthermore, your insurance will likely deny any fire damage claims due to this illegal setup, leaving you financially exposed. Not to mention, your heater warranty becomes worthless. And, let’s be clear, the initial water from such a shower would be dangerously hot. A shower with a sauna is a fantastic idea, but it must be located outside the sauna itself. Contact us to discuss safe and effective sauna design options.
This is yet another instance of the sauna industry’s alarming disregard for safety and regulatory compliance. Just like the issue of oversizing heaters, this shows a pattern of carelessness. When you choose us, you’re choosing adherence to legal standards, ensuring a safe, enjoyable, and insurable sauna experience.
