Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a traditional steam sauna and an infrared sauna?
A traditional steam sauna, like the Forssa Edition, uses a stove to heat rocks. You pour water over the rocks to create steam, which heats the air around you to a high temperature. This provides a humid, intense heat. In contrast, infrared saunas use infrared heaters to warm your body directly, operating at lower air temperatures. Both offer significant health benefits, but the experience is quite different.
How many people can comfortably fit in the Forssa sauna?
The Forssa Edition is designed to comfortably seat 3 adults. Depending on the individuals' size, it may accommodate a fourth person snugly. If you require more space, you may want to explore our larger 4-person saunas.
What are the electrical requirements for this sauna?
You will need two separate circuits. The main Harvia stove requires a dedicated 240V circuit (30A for the 6KW stove, 40A for the 8KW upgrade). A second, standard 120V/15A circuit is needed for the lights and electronics. We have a helpful guide if you want to learn more about how much electricity a sauna uses.
Can this sauna be installed outdoors?
The Forssa Edition is designed primarily as an indoor sauna. However, it can be installed in a covered and protected outdoor location, such as a garage, covered patio, or cabana, where it will not be exposed directly to rain or snow. For models built specifically for the elements, please view our collection of dedicated outdoor saunas.
What is chromotherapy and how does it work?
Chromotherapy, or color light therapy, is a wellness treatment that uses colored lights to help balance the body's energy. The oversize system in this sauna allows you to select different colors to create a specific mood, such as blue for calming or red for energizing, enhancing the overall therapeutic benefits of your sauna session.
