STEAM BATH INSTALLATION GUIDE

  1. The steam pipe must not have any pronounced bends or elbows.
  2. The steam pipe must not have any siphons where condensed water may collect and lead to a blockage.
  3. Steam baths that are used for more than one hour continuously must have air vents installed.
  4. The steam generator must not be cut off from the electricity supply, therefore timer switches or other similar devices may not be installed.
  5. The length of the drainpipe must slope down towards to the downpipe.
  6. The ambient temperature outside the steam cabin must not be more than 35 degrees.
  7. The temperature probe must be placed as far away as possible from the steam outlet.
  8. A water analysis must be carried out before starting up the equipment. If the water hardness is more than 4 French degrees, a water softener must be installed.
  9. Do not install the steam equipment without a ground connection.

Location of the generator:

The following requirements are necessary for the generator's location:

  1. A room that is no smaller than 80 cm wide, 50 cm deep and 170 cm high.

  2. The room where it is installed must be dry and well-ventilated.

  3. Do not install in machinery rooms where corrosive products such as chlorine are used.

  4. The equipment must be installed outside the steam cabin, but as close as possible to it. The steam pipe must not be more than 15 metres long.

  5. The equipment must be installed perfectly vertical.

  6. The equipment must rest on the ground and be fixed to the wall using 4.5 x 60 mm plastic wall plugs and stainless steel screws. Before fixing the equipment in place, ensure that the drain outlet is higher than the connection designed for it, so that the generator can be emptied correctly.

Connection to power supply: When connecting the electricity supply, first connect the ground wire followed by the active wires to the differential switch inside the steam generator. Connection must be made taking into consideration the type of power supply (page 15). On page 32 the recommended cable section and associated protection is given, according to the size of the generator. Cables must be copper, RZ1-K (AS) safety and protected by a differential switch or circuit breaker with an opening that guarantees a minimum separation of contacts of 3 mm. In all cases, the electrician is responsible for the installation according to the Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulations.

Once completed turn on the switch to the right, the pilot light will come on, meaning that the generator is connected to the power supply. If the wires must be disconnected, first of all disconnect the active wires and subsequently the ground connection.

The generator must, without fail, be grounded. If it is not connected to earth, electrical accidents may occur. The power supply must not be cut-off or the side switch turned off before two hours after the steam supply to the cabin has been switched off because the generator drains the system various times during this period to prevent the accumulation of mineral salts in the boiler. Therefore, timers must not be installed as these may cut off the power supply.

Connection to water supply: The steam generator has a 12 inch shut off valve for the water supply. This can be connected to the cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 2 and 6 kp/cm ^2 . Before starting up the generator the pipes must be flushed out to prevent metal residues from being introduced into the generator's boiler tank. Before starting up the generator, an analysis of the water must be carried out to determine its hardness. If it is above 4 French degrees a water softener must be installed.

Connection to drain: The pipes must be installed with a slope towards the downpipe, with no siphons where water can accumulate.

Connection of light fixture: A light fixture with a 24 volt bulb is supplied with the equipment for lighting inside the cabin.

Connection of temperature probe: The sensor must be placed between 150 and 170 cm from the floor and as far as possible from the steam outlet. A trim cover is supplied with the equipment to cover the sensor. It must be placed vertically so that the air can circulate around it. If there is a gap between the sensor and the cabin, the cable can be lengthened using a low voltage armoured two core cable.

Connection of steam pipe to the cabin: A 22 mm copper or stainless steel pipe must be used for the steam line. Generators with more than 12 kW of power have 2 or more steam lines, therefore as many lines as generators must be connected to the steam cabin. Warning: Do not connect two generator outlets to one line as the pressure and the correct temperature of the generators may be exceeded. The steam lines must not have siphons where condensed water could block the steam's path.

In cases where the generator is on the same floor as the cabin, the steam line must be installed sloping towards the cabin. If it is on a lower floor it must slope towards the generator.

The steam lines must be insulated with armaflex or similar, to prevent them from cooling and from condensation building up inside the pipe.

No mechanisms should be installed along the steam line that may block the circulation of the steam, including pressure or flow controllers, shut off valves, pipe reducers, etc.

The generator is supplied with a steam head. This is used for fixing the line to the cabin and for directing the steam towards the floor.

natural_image Technical line drawings of two structural components with hatched patterns and a central rod, shown from different angles (no text or symbols)

One of the most important points of the installation is the location of the steam head. Take into account that the steam comes out of the head at a temperature of 100 degrees. Therefore it is essential that they are positioned where they will not cause any harm to users. A ventilator and a PVC pipe are supplied with the equipment for ventilating the cabin. Wherever possible the air inlet should be placed above the steam head, this way cooling the steam at the outlet of the head.

Following, different correct installation options for the steam head are shown.

Where Option A is selected but there is not a 50 cm gap between the outlet and the bench an optional accessory can be ordered, called a steam diffuser.

This is a stainless steel protector, with a cooling chamber, to prevent users from burning themselves.

Connection of the air ventilator: The generator is supplied with an inlet ventilator, with the necessary pipes for installation, according to the previous diagrams. This ventilator must be connected to the generator using a 3 x 1.5 mm core cable.

Connection of the aroma oil system to the generator on the same floor as the cabin: The equipment necessary for mixing the aroma oil with the steam are supplied with the generator. For the aroma oil system to operate correctly, the aroma oil pipe and the steam pipe must be connected over half the distance between the generator and the steam cabin. For example, if the steam line is 8 metres long, a copper pipe that is more than 4 metres long must be installed parallel to it before the connection. If this is not done correctly the aroma oil will not enter the steam line due to the pressure inside it.

Connection of the aroma oil system to the generator on a floor below the cabin: If the steam generator is installed on a floor below the cabin, the aroma oil system is equipped with a pump so that the aroma oil travels up to the steam cabin. In order for the system to operate correctly, a copper pipe must be installed parallel to the steam line until the cabin inlet slope, so that the aroma oil does not drip back down into the generator through the steam line.

Installation of the air outlet pipe: An air outlet must be installed so that the air inside the cabin can be recycled. This is placed in the ceiling or at the top of the wall opposite to where the steam head is installed. The outlet pipe must be 63mm in diameter and should be installed with a slope to the outside of the cabin, so that it is not blocked by the condensation of the steam. The device can be operated following the control panel instructions.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE CABIN AND PRE-CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATIONS

Construction of the cabin: Please see the construction system section on page 7 for how to build the cabin. Important points to note: Thermal insulation and waterproofing of the floor and walls, slopes and the siphon floor drain in the centre of the cabin. Complete modules are available for the door, including the preframe, frame and glass door. Order the preframe so that it may be built in to the walls. Fluidra also has glass modules for a more attractive finish for the cabins. Request the preframe. Arrange the layout of the seating. The best layout is to install the benches around the edge of the cabin except for the entrance wall, so as to leave space for the steam head and air inlet. See page 2 for where to place the steam head. If the cabin is very large, two levels of seating can be built to fill the space and provide seating for more users. The correct height for the benches is 45 cm with a depth of 50 cm. WARNING: make sure the seating slopes to allow condensation to run off.

Prefabricated or custom built ceilings: The ceiling can be either prefabricated or custom built. See Characteristics and advantages of prefabricated modules on page 9. The most common type of ceiling is arched, but occasionally for large cabins that aren't very high, the 20% slope needed for this to work correctly is not possible. For solutions to this problem see page 11 and adapt the best solution.

Selection of generator size: In order to define the required size of the generator, calculate the volume of the cabin by multiplying its width x depth x height. Consult the generator capacities on page 16. These capacities are calculated for cabins built according to indications given in this manual, if this is not the case the warming up time could be longer.

Cabin ventilation: An air outlet must be installed so that the air inside the cabin can be recycled. This is placed in the ceiling or at the top of the wall opposite to where the steam head is installed. The outlet pipe must be 63 mm in diameter and should be installed with a slope to the outside of the cabin, so that it is not blocked by the condensation of the steam. If, due to the layout of the house or premises it is not possible for the pipe to lead to open air a condensation valve can be supplied and installed in the machine room or other room next to the cabin. For this purpose a 50 mm PVC pipe must be connected between the wall of the steam cabin to the room where the valve is located, as high as possible. This valve has a ventilator installed and therefore a pipe with a 3x1 mm cable must be connected from the valve to where the machinery is located. An inlet ventilator must also be installed at the bottom of the cabin. This ventilator is supplied with the equipment. To install it a 110 mm PVC pipe with a 3x1 power line must be connected between the ventilator and the machinery. See ventilator position on page 8.

Cabin lighting: A light fixture with a 24 volt bulb is supplied with the equipment, together with a transformer located in the generator. For large cabins request the number of light fittings required according to dimensions. As many 2 x 1 cables as fittings will need to be installed. The cable must run between the room where the equipment is and the fittings, which must be placed 190 cm from the floor.

Location of the thermostat sensor: The thermostat sensor must be located inside the cabin at a height of 160 cm from the floor and on the wall opposite to the steam head. A 2 x 1 cable must be installed, connecting the sensor to the equipment.

Water supply connection: To connect the water supply to the generator a 12 inch shut off valve is required, to the right of the generator and at a height of 120 cm from the floor. To ensure that the generator works correctly and constantly it is essential that the hardness of the water is no more than 4 French degrees. An analysis of the water must be carried out and if it is any higher a water softener must be installed that is suitable for the generator size. This must be installed by a plumber or can be ordered from Fluidra.

Electrical system: The generator must be installed with a protected, independent power source with a differential switch or circuit breaker suitable for the size of the generator. A ground connection is essential. The wire section and the protection vary according to the voltage of the premises. See table of Sections and protection on page 16.

Connection to drain: The steam generator must have a drain installed for the partial or total purging of impurities accumulated in the boiler. If the drain is on a lower floor the drainpipe must be copper until it connects to the downpipe. The drain must be positioned underneath the generator and at ground level to prevent siphons.

CUSTOM BUILT CABIN

The steam bath is a closed and watertight room, designed to be used by various people sitting or lying down, built using a combination of different materials that have the common characteristics of being rust-proof and heat resistant. This room includes the necessary electrical equipment to generate and inject steam inside the cabin and to automatically control and regulate the amount of steam and the temperature. This is the most important factor for steam rooms.

The correct temperature – humidity parameter for a steam room is at intervals (Temperature 43 °C to 46 °C – Humidity 100%). The cabin must always have a mist of steam inside so that users are constantly in contact with it.

Construction system for the steam bath

For an optimal performance with minimum consumption with regard to electricity and generator power, Important: construction of as many walls possible with thermal insulation to prevent unnecessary power consumption and to reduce the time it takes to reach the desired temperature inside the cabin; installation of asphalt fabric or similar on the floor and walls to above the height of the seating; the entire surface must be covered with waterproofing mortar to prevent leaks to connecting rooms or lower floors.

The prefabricated ceilings are built using the following materials:

  • 3 mm thick sheets of acrylic in white, blue or black (for starry ceiling option).
  • Interior structure with a frame of 10 micron anodised aluminium.
  • Layer of polyester resin with a 2 mm thick sheet of fibreglass.
  • Module reinforced phenolic plastic laminates.
  • Second layer of polyester resin with a 2 mm thick sheet of fibreglass.
  • Frame for the modules in anodised aluminium, painted the same colour as the acrylic.

Advantages of the prefabricated ceiling

PMMA is a non-porous and non-absorbent acrylic, perfect for the ceilings of steam rooms, as the steam that condenses on it will run off perfectly to the side walls, preventing water from dripping onto users. As it is a non-porous material the proliferation of mould and bacteria is prevented, making it easy to clean and disinfect.

Installation of the prefabricated ceiling

  1. Fix the 40 x 20 mm support profiles to the side walls, ensuring they are perfectly level, using wall plugs and stainless steel screws. These profiles are labelled, left, right, back and façade. To position the profiles correctly stand in front of the cabin. Before fixing the profiles in place, apply a silicon sealant to ensure that the installation will be leak-tight.
  2. Place the curved profiles so that the central rail coincides with the straight profile rail.
  3. Once the ceiling profiles are in position the joins must sealed with silicon.
  4. Once this has been done, find the ceiling modules labelled ceiling 1, ceiling 2, etc. These must be inserted into the profiles and fitted together according to their labelled numbers, following the diagram supplied with the ceiling module.

Following is a diagram to facilitate assembly.

The number of ceiling modules will depend on the dimensions of the cabin, but the installation system is the same regardless.

  1. Place the end of the module with the longest fit, into the support profile.

Due to the continuous condensation of the steam on the surfaces of the cabin, a continuous drip is caused, which is a very disagreeable sensation for users.

For custom built cabins it is considerably difficult to completely prevent dripping, as this not only depends on the pitch and shape of the ceiling, but also on the porosity and unevenness of the materials used for cladding. Fluidra recommends that the ceiling be built using a smooth and non-porous material such as Plexi.

Below are the different shapes for ceilings, according to dimensions of the cabin.

PREFABRICATED CABIN

Advantages of the prefabricated cabin compared to a custom built cabin

1 The cabin does NOT require a SPECIAL LICENCE; a custom built cabin however requires a minor construction work permit as it will affect the layout of the house or premises where it will be installed.
2 Our PREFABRICATED CABIN CAN BE DISMANTLED AND MOVED, which enables its transfer to another place within the same premises or to another place, without affecting the working order of the steam bath in any way. A custom built cabin cannot be moved and therefore the investment made would be lost if the owner were to move premises.
3 Given the construction characteristics of the cabin (module construction type with insulation and an interior acrylic finish), if it is in continuous operation savings of UP TO 50% can be made with regard to CONSUMPTION compared to a custom built steam room.
4 As consumption is lower, the POWER SUPPLY AND INSTALLED VOLTAGE is also lower. It is common to find that an increase in total voltage for the premises is required in the case of custom built cabins.
5 Once the steam bath is started up, the time required for a session to begin is important, above all if it is for professional use. THIS INTERVAL IS MUCH LOWER in a prefabricated steam room compared to a custom built cabin given that the temperature for normal use is reached much faster.
6 The finish on the inside of the cabin (acrylic) is NON-POROUS, therefore PREVENTING TOXINS, MOULD and BACTERIA from penetrating the walls.
The cabin is therefore MORE HYGIENIC than custom built cabins and thanks to its non-porous finish, it can be CLEANED AND DISINFECTED MUCH FASTER AND MORE EFFECTIVELY.
7 The custom built option does not normally have the agreeable sensation of an acrylic finish, therefore users are less likely to use it often. In custom built cabins that are tiled bacteria and mould can accumulate in the joins and corners, which can create bad odours. They are also much more difficult to clean and disinfect.
8 Given that the CABIN is water-tight, LEAKS ARE NOT A PROBLEM, whilst a custom built cabin cannot guarantee this.
9 The condensation produced inside a PREFABRICATED CABIN IS MUCH LESS compared to the custom built cabin, therefore water consumption is considerably lower.
10 OUR COMPANY manufactures steam rooms and supplies them with all the necessary equipment. It also fits out custom built cabins, in cases where very large cabins are required. In these cases the technical-construction requirements for these cabins are supplied and a close monitoring of the construction and materials used is done to optimise the operation of the steam bath.

The following section provides details of the construction system and all of the technical specifications regarding the materials used for constructing a steam room.

Materials and basic components of the steam cabin

First of all, it must be pointed out that although there are similarities between the benefits of a sauna and a steam bath, the materials that should be used for their construction are completely different. A sauna is a dry heat bath and the humidity parameter is the absolute opposite to that of a steam bath, which could be considered a humid heat bath.

The materials used for building a steam bath are listed below and basically include the CABIN, the GENERATOR, the INJECTOR and CONTROL EQUIPMENT.

Materials required for the CABIN:

Wall and ceiling modules:

  • 3 mm thick, opaque white acrylic interior face.
  • Interior structure with a frame of 10 micron anodised aluminium.
  • Layer of polyester resin with a 2 mm thick sheet of fibreglass.
  • Module reinforced phenolic plastic laminates.
  • Second layer of polyester resin with a 2 mm thick sheet of fibreglass.
  • Decorative phenolic sheet on the visible exterior walls.

Lower and upper mounting rims: Exclusive and special mounting rim profile in anodised aluminium, painted white, silver or inox.

Side and corner profiles: Exclusive and special custom-made profiles in aluminium with rounded edges painted white. Self-anchoring system with the modules and mounting rims. Doorframe module in anodised aluminium painted white. Frosted grey, tempered glass door.

Seating:

  • Length of benches with structure and finishes made of anodised aluminium painted white.
  • Front panel of seating same as the benches. Optional.

The following diagrams provide details and cross-sections of all of the cabin's components.

Construction detail and anchoring of the steam bath

The cabin has been designed as a prefabricated room in sections that fit together perfectly, so as to provide a high level of insulation, an ease of steam generation and a leak-tightness that leads to minimum consumption thanks to a rational use of power.

It has been created and constructed so that the sections are easy to assemble and connect to create a perfect installation.

Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional perspective of the prefabricated system of the sections that fit together creating one of the modules.

Detail of components: (Numbered according to assembly order)

N.° 1 LOWER MOUNTING RIM: : Lower perimeter frame in aluminium painted white or as requested for each case, onto which the modules, the side and corner profiles and doorframe are mounted. The floor must be level so that the mounting rim profile sits perfectly.

N.° 2 MODULES: The modules are the sections that enclose the cabin. They are made of aluminium, with an acrylic inner surface and phenolic resin on the outer surface.

N.° 4 MARCO: Module that integrates the cabin door. It is made of 4 sections joined together using stainless steel screws. These are aluminium painted white or the required colour.

N.° 5 PUERTA: Door into the cabin made of 10 mm thick glass. A door handle on each side of the door is attached using stainless steel screws.

N.° 6 ARO SUPERIOR: Upper perimeter frame joined to the corners with brackets. All of the modules that comprise the cabin will be mounted onto this rim. The upper mounting rim is fixed to the modules using 80 mm stainless steel screws.

N.° 7 TECHO: Ceiling anchoring profiles and modules. Final enclosure for the steam cabin.

Available models. Capacity and layout.

In order to meet all of the possible needs of its clients, Fluidra has developed a wide range of standard models. The differences between each of these modules lies mainly in the number of people able to use the steam bath at the same time or in their comfort, as the larger the cabin, the more comfortable it will be for users.

There are 20 different models available and for each one of them details of the shape, dimensions, user capacity, layout and generator characteristics are provided.

The construction system for the cabins has been designed so that any other made-to-measure cabins can be built in addition to the standard models. Cabins with columns, angled corners, models with two doors for mixed steam rooms and even rooms with lofted ceilings can be manufactured. For any of these options, contact your Fluidra dealer.

The steam cabin has been designed and developed for PROFESSIONAL use; therefore its use is INDISCRIMINATE for installations that are private or public.

The construction system is exactly the same for all of the models, regardless of the measurements and capacity. Therefore, small models will be installed for PROFESSIONAL use simply replacing the generator with one that corresponds to the construction and professional features.

The cabins can be adapted to any construction obstacles, with options such as columns, ceilings of a special height, etc.

Assembly and installation process

IMPORTANT: Before beginning to assemble the cabin, remember that this cabin has been factory assembled and that all of the parts have been fitted and adjusted. All of the electric and hydraulic components have been tested. Therefore, do not force any of the components. Carefully read the guide and correct the error.

Assembly of the cabin

The steam bath has been especially designed and built for ease of assembly by everyone, regardless of their knowledge on plumbing and electricity. The complete kit is supplied, including all of the parts and accessories necessary for installation. For each unit complete instructions are provided that will solve any problems that may arise. All of the parts are labelled, corresponding to each stage of assembly and detailed illustrations and descriptions are provided. Therefore, installing the cabin is an easy and simple task for any layman. The cabin assembly involves completing 5 key stages:

1 Positioning and anchoring the lower mounting rim profile using its fittings in the place and orientation that the cabin should be once completed.
2 Fitting the modules, together with their side and corner profiles onto the base mounting rim in the order and way shown.
3 Once the perimeter walls have been put in place, fitting the four sections of the upper mounting rim (aluminium profile) onto the modules according to their labels. Anchoring the mounting rim parts to each other and to the modules.
4 Fitting the ceiling onto the support profile previously put in place.
5 Installing the interior fittings: benches, front panels, steam heads, etc. as shown and connecting the electrical equipment (developed specifically).

All of the anchoring fittings that are supplied must be used in the correct place and position to ensure the correct installation and leak-tightness of the cabin.

On the following pages, the order of assembly and installation is shown and described, step by step, so that as long as each one is completed correctly, the steam bath will work perfectly.

Maintenance guide

  1. Press the circuit breaker test button to check that it is working properly.
  2. Make sure there are no water or steam leaks in the safety valve on the steam pipe outlet.
  3. Test the water supply to ensure that it meets the correct parameters with regard to water hardness.
  4. Ensure that the water softener, if installed, is full of salt and that this is being used. If the softener is not using the salt it is not working properly.

Sometimes the water supply has other residues. According to the region, other residues may be found in the water that are not absorbed by the softener. It is also possible that the water softener is not working properly or that there has been a change in the water supply. If this were the case, residue will accumulate in the generator until the processor detects that it is not working correctly due to obstruction of the pipes. The generator's boiler tank must be cleaned to solve this problem.

Cleaning the boiler This must only be done by our Technical Service or by a technician qualified and authorised by Fluidra. To clean the boiler, follow the instructions below:

  1. Completely disconnect the power supply.
  2. Remove the front cover of the generator.
  3. Disconnect the steam outlet pipe, unscrew the tee and disconnect it from the generator.
  4. Remove the cover from the generator.
  5. Remove the safety thermostat sensor.

WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT PROTECTION CLOTHING (GLOVES AND MASK) IS USED. DO NOT INHALE THE DESCALING AGENT GAS. COMPLETE THIS OPERATION IN A WELL-VENTILATED PLACE.

  1. With the help of a descaling agent and a paint brush, clean all the metal parts of the boiler and all of the accessories, as well as inside the connection pipe, elbows and dowels where they join, the copper drain pipe, draining valve, level controller, etc...
  2. Once all of the generator components are clean, reassemble the machine. Take care to replace all of the component seals to ensure maximum leak-tightness of the machinery.
  3. Make sure that all of the wires are correctly connected and secured. Remember that when connecting the power supply always start with the ground connection.
  4. The expansion pipe with its two dowels and the connection pipe are very important. (Figures 9 and 10)

IMPORTANT: The equipment is not designed for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensorial or mental abilities, or by those who do not have adequate knowledge or experience, unless they are suitably supervised or have received the necessary instructions for using the equipment from a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the equipment.

STEAM BATH RULES FOR USE

Ideally users should wear a swimming costume or nothing when using the steam bath. Towels and other elements that could be damaged by water, such as non-waterproof watches or radios, etc. should not be taken inside the cabin.

Normally in a cabin of this type, no other complementary activities are carried out, such as reading, as these elements will be damaged by the level of humidity.

A steam bath should be used the same way as a sauna, although the session times may be longer, as a steam bath is gentler as are its effects.

How to take a steam bath:

1 Shower prior to entering the cabin.
2 Remain in the cabin, enjoying the steam bath for an initial session of between 10 and 20 minutes, although this will depend on each person and on his or her health. Do not remain inside the cabin for too long, steam bath times are relative to each person at different times. If you feel the need to cool down, leave the cabin.
3 Take a shower after with the water at room temperature.
4 Return to the cabin and repeat step 2.
5 Steps 1 to 3 can be repeated up to 3 times, but users must never force themselves to continue.
6 The time between sessions can be combined with fresh air, relaxation and placing feet in warm water.
7 Cooling down sessions of 15 to 20 minutes should be done afterwards, if possible lying down. It is likely that you will continue to sweat during the cool down period until skin pores have closed.
8 Shower once more to conclude the steam bath session.

Contraindications

Although there are very few cases in which steam baths are not recommended, below are the most important. First of all, as with all activities that directly affect the body, consult your doctor before using the steam bath.

1 Do not take a steam bath after eating.
2 Do not take a steam bath if you are pregnant.
3 Do not take a steam bath during menstruation.
4 People with serious heart conditions must not use the steam bath.
5 Steam baths are not recommended for people with hypotension.
6 People with advanced cases of arteriosclerosis and tuberculosis must not use the steam bath.

Specific considerations

Do not enter the steam bath after exercising until you have completely recovered.

  • Do not drink alcohol either before or after the session.
  • Do not remain in the steam bath if you feel the need to cool down as this will affect the positive effects of the session. Similarly it is better not to leave the steam bath until you feel this need, so as to maximise the results of the therapy.
  • Each person will feel this need to cool down after a different period of time. What's more, each person, at different times will be able to spend more or less time in the steam bath, according to how their nervous system or metabolism is at each given time. For this reason, it is better not to set a specific amount of time for remaining in the steam bath.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTING THE AROMA OIL SYSTEM

As previously mentioned, each module is supplied with a disinfecting product with a sprayer. This product is supplied in bottles of one litre and is a fungicide and bactericide that kills off germs that cause bad smells.
