Sauna in a Shower

[chris1971]

Customer had an electric sauna installed in a shower area of a bathroom. It’s an electric sauna inside of a cedar enclosure. The electric sauna is 240 volts and hardwired. See any issues with this setup?

In general, no.

Make sure you either have the unit on hand or have access to good specs.

Getting low voltage cable to control panel could be an issue. If possible, a 1-inch smurf tube or similar should be sufficient if you can't get the cable at time of rough-in.

Last one I messed with, the builder tried to put the unit under a seat in the shower. No access, I was like....umm no.
