What is Far Infrared heat? Why is it better than regular heat in a conventional sauna?
Far infrared heat is used to directly penetrate the body's tissues to a depth of over 1 1/2 inches right into the muscle. Its energy output is tuned to correspond so closely to the body's own radiant energy that our bodies absorb close to 93% of the infrared waves that reach our skin.
A conventional sauna (steam sauna) must rely only on indirect means of heat: First, on air currents and then, direct contact of hot air with the skin to produce its healing effects on us. With Far Infrared heat and our unique Carbon Wave 360 Panels, less than 20% of the far infrared energy heats the air, leaving over 80% available to be directly converted to heat within our bodies. Thus a Far Infrared Sauna can warm its user(s) to a much greater depth much more efficiently than a conventional sauna.
Our Saunas; revolutionary technology provides the most beneficial Far Infrared heat available. At up to 6200 square inch, our Carbon Wave 360 panels offer a broad heat distribution, which leads to a greater amount of absorption. The heater's total surface area far exceeds our competitors'.
Our authentic Carbon Wave 360 heating panels are within the desired range for maximum human benefit. We utilize Carbon based mixed materials consisting of 20 different kinds of organic minerals and elements. The operating temperature of our infrared saunas is between 60 and 150 degrees F, compared to traditional saunas which operate at 300 and 1000 degrees F. This is important because one can withstand longer therapy sessions, resulting in increased sweat production. Carbon Wave 360 heaters are not only efficient but luxurious, cost effective and safe.
What is infrared? Infrared radiation (IR) is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of radio waves. This radiating energy penetrates the body and heats it directly and more efficiently through a process called conversion
Are infrared saunas safe? Yes, far infrared heat is a form of energy. The sun is an example of a principle source of infrared radiant energy that we experience on a daily basis. Our bodies absorb, as well as emit infrared radiant energy. Our Saunas have a concentrated micron range of 8-10. This is very close to your own body's frequency of 9.4 microns. The closer this frequency is, the more beneficial to your health and well being.
What is the difference in heaters between this and a traditional sauna? Our infrared sauna heaters produce radiant energy which is the same as the heat from the sun, only without the harmful UV rays. This specific carbon heater is made up of approximately 20 organic minerals and elements creating infrared waves that heat your body directly, instead of just the air around you. Traditional Finnish saunas, also called rock saunas, use various types of heaters to warm the stones and air in the room.
Why are your Carbon Wave 360 Carbon Fiber heating panels better than ceramic tubes? There is a significant difference between our technology and the others. Our exclusive Carbon Wave 360 organic, carbon fiber panels are the latest cutting edge technology. They provide an unprecedented 576 square inch of surface area heat, compared to ceramic tubes which only provide 25-50 square inch. This is important, because our carbon fiber panels offer a broad heat distribution leading to a greater amount of absorption. Some ceramic heaters can make it difficult for an individual to lean against, as opposed to East Coast Saunas' carbon based panels, which have a lower surface temperature.
Are the lower temperatures in an infrared sauna still effective? Yes, our saunas may allow for up to three times the sweat volume produced compared to a traditional sauna. Far infrared technology is thought to be seven times more effective at detoxifying metals such as mercury and aluminum, as well as cholesterols, nicotine, alcohol, ammonia, sulfuric acid and other environmental toxins when compared to conventional heat, or steam saunas. In an East Coast Sauna, the therapeutic operating temperature is much cooler, 110-130 degrees F compared to a traditional sauna which requires temperatures of 169-200 degrees F. This is important because one can withstand longer therapy sessions, resulting in increased sweat production.
What type of wood do you use? We use only high quality Hemlock. Our classic Canadian Red Cedar is an optional upgrade. We pride ourselves on providing a superior handcrafted infrared sauna. We never use toxic glues or plastics in our saunas.
Do I need special electrical wiring? The Malibu Sauna is designed to plug into a standard household outlet rated at 15 amps. The Newport Sauna requires a dedicated 20 amp outlet. The Hollywood Sauna requires a 220V outlet. We recommend that you hire a licensed electrician to install a dedicated outlet for the Newport and Hollywood. Beware of companies that advertise larger saunas that plug into standard 15 amp outlets. These saunas have reduced effectiveness due to the lack of power being supplied. This may increase your warm up time and peak temperature ability.
How do I clean my East Coast Sauna?
- Clean your infrared sauna often to keep a fresh and well maintained appearance.
- Sweep or vacuum your sauna periodically to remove dirt, hair, etc.
- Wipe down the walls where people have touched them, i.e. above benches, around doors, and controls as needed.
- Use a bucket of warm water with a mild detergent soap and a clean cloth or sponge, then rinse well with a fresh damp cloth and plain water.
Precautions
- Avoid heavy detergents as they can discolor your wood or leave a residue, which could emit irritating or harmful fumes.
- Do not use too much water as the wood will tend to turn dark.
- Never hose down the interior or exterior of an infrared sauna.
- Never apply paint, stain or other chemical finishes or sealants to the interior of your sauna. The heat from your infrared sauna may cause the surface to become too hot to the touch or cause toxic fumes to be released.
It is recommended that users take a shower prior to entering the infrared sauna. Before sitting or reclining on benches, place a towel under each person to absorb perspiration.
Does my Sauna have a warranty? We are so confident about our product, we offer a Lifetime Warranty on cabinetry, electrical, and heating panels. Just call or email a Customer Service Representative for any replacement parts. The CD and/or DVD player carries a separate warranty from the original manufacturer.
What electrical safety certifications do East Coast Saunas carry? We carry ETL, CE and ISO9001 approved electrical safety certifications on all of our infrared saunas.
What is the cost of running an MidWest Sauna? Daily 20 minute therapeutic infrared sauna sessions with a 15 minute warm up, performed for a month, may only cost a few dollars. Other traditional hot air saunas can double your electric bill.
