Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between full-spectrum and FAR infrared?
FAR infrared provides gentle, ambient heat that warms the body from the outside in, which is great for relaxation. Full-spectrum infrared includes near, mid, and far wavelengths, allowing heat to penetrate deeper into the body for benefits like improved circulation and muscle recovery. This sauna offers both for a complete therapeutic experience.
Does this sauna require special electrical wiring?
No, it does not. The Golden Designs GDI-8020-02 is designed to plug directly into any standard 120V/15amp household outlet, making installation incredibly simple. For more details on energy consumption, you can read our guide on how much electricity a sauna uses.
How do I clean and maintain this sauna?
Maintenance is simple. The Canadian Hemlock wood is naturally anti-microbial. For cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe down the interior surfaces after use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. For a detailed guide, check out our blog post on how to clean an infrared sauna.
Is this model suitable for a small space like an apartment?
Yes, with its compact footprint of 48" x 42", this sauna is an excellent choice for smaller spaces, including apartments, basements, or home gyms. It's one of our most popular 2-person saunas for this reason.
What are the benefits of the Himalayan salt bar?
When gently heated, the Himalayan salt bar releases negative ions into the air, a process known as halotherapy. This can help purify the air, reduce allergens, and promote better respiratory function, adding another layer of wellness to your sauna session.
What is PureTech™ Near Zero EMF technology?
PureTech™ is Golden Designs' proprietary technology that significantly reduces electromagnetic fields (EMF) to levels close to zero. This ensures you receive the maximum therapeutic benefits of the infrared heat with minimal exposure to EMF, a feature consistent across their premium models like the larger Reserve Edition 3-Person sauna.
