Installation + Setup Info
Electrical Requirements
- The sauna requires two separate dedicated circuits. One for the Harvia stove (240V / 30AMP) and another for the lighting and controls (120V / 15AMP).
- Due to the specific electrical needs, we strongly recommend consulting and hiring a certified electrician for proper installation to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is professional installation required for this sauna?
While the sauna is designed for straightforward assembly, the electrical connection is critical and must be done correctly. We strongly advise hiring a licensed electrician to connect the Harvia heater and lighting to ensure safety and proper function. You can learn more about how much electricity a sauna uses in our guide.
What is the main benefit of a barrel sauna?
The primary benefit of the barrel design is its efficiency. The cylindrical shape allows for natural air convection, heating the space faster and more evenly with less energy. It also provides excellent structural strength and inherent resistance to snow and rain.
Is this an infrared or traditional steam sauna?
This is a traditional steam sauna. It uses the included Harvia electric heater to warm stones, and you pour water over the stones to create steam (löyly). This provides a high-heat, humid environment, unlike the dry heat of an infrared sauna.
Can this sauna be installed indoors?
The Zurich model is specifically designed and built for outdoor use, utilizing materials that can withstand the elements. For indoor applications, we recommend exploring our dedicated selection of indoor saunas which are designed with different ventilation and material considerations.
How does this 4-person model compare to other Golden Designs saunas?
The "Zurich" is an excellent choice for families or those who want a bit more room than a 2-person model. It offers a perfect balance of space and efficiency. If you need more capacity, Golden Designs also offers larger models like the "Klosters" 6 Person Barrel Sauna.
