Frequently Asked Questions
What is Thermo-Spruce, and why is it better than cedar?
Thermo-Spruce is wood that has been treated with a high-temperature, chemical-free process using heat and steam. This makes it significantly more durable, dimensionally stable, and resistant to rot and pests than untreated wood, including cedar. It provides a longer lifespan, especially for outdoor saunas, with less maintenance required.
How many people can comfortably use the EE6G sauna?
The Model EE6G is designed to comfortably accommodate up to 4 bathers, making it perfect for both individual relaxation sessions and small group enjoyment.
What kind of foundation is required for installation?
A solid, level foundation is crucial for any barrel sauna. This can be a concrete slab, a deck with adequate support, or a level area of pavers or crushed stone. Ensure the foundation can support the sauna's weight of 1500 lbs plus the weight of its occupants.
How does this compare to other SaunaLife models like the E8G?
The EE6G is part of the ERGO-Series, focusing on maximum comfort and value. It shares the premium Thermo-Spruce construction with other models. The larger SaunaLife Model E8G Sauna Barrel offers more interior space and is suitable for more bathers, but the EE6G provides the same core benefits of durability and ergonomic design in a more compact footprint.
What are the electrical requirements for the sauna heater and lighting?
The included LED lighting system plugs into a standard 120V outlet. The sauna heater (sold separately) will require a dedicated 240V circuit installed by a licensed electrician. For more information on energy usage, you can read our guide on how much electricity a sauna uses.
Can I upgrade the lighting in the future?
Yes, the lighting system is expandable. You can enhance the ambiance by adding the optional SaunaLife E6 Sconce+ Indoor-Outdoor Sauna Light Set, which provides beautiful exterior lighting and an additional interior light bar.
Is this a traditional steam sauna or an infrared sauna?
The SaunaLife EE6G is a traditional saunas, designed to be used with a sauna heater (electric or wood-fired) where you pour water over hot stones to create steam. This differs from infrared saunas, which use light to create heat.
