Buying a Steambath?

Steambath Mr. Steam Generator


Steambaths provide many health benefits. They are great for relieving stress, muscle tension, and stiff joints. They also strengthen the immune system, stimulate blood circulation, increase metabolism, alleviate sinus congestion, and give your skin a healthy glow. Before you buy the steambath of your dreams, here is some information to help you:

-What should you consider before buying a Steambath? If you have a heart condition, are pregnant, have a medical condition, or are on medication, you should speak with your physician beforehand.


-Consider getting a water softner. It's great for reducing scale formation.

-How long should you spend in a steambath? A typical steambath lasts 10 to 15 minutes but if you want to stay longer, it's your call! And steambaths can be taken daily.

-Though the correct bathing temperature is about 110 degrees, it can be adjusted to meet your comfort zone, needs, medical conditions and so on.

-What do you need to know about installation? The steam generator, which creates the steam, must be installed in an accessible and dry area. Examples are: a closet, basement, heated attic, etc. Steambath units and plumbing lines cannot be installed in unheated attics, or places where water would freeze.

-What does the steam generator require? The generator requires its own drain, electrical supply and cold water feed. It can be wired to your home's electric supply--Remember this can only be done by a licensed electrician.
