Spa Steam Generators
Stainless
Steel boiler tank and heating elements
for
durability and clean distilling of water into steam. (no fowl smells from
tank and elements)
Steam
Room Construction:
-
Steam room construction can be either of
brick & tile or glass & aluminium.
-
Slanted roof is recommended. (High end at
the benches)
-
Roof can be constructed of Nu-tech sheeting
(smooth side down) on perlins and painted with Plascon waterproof primer
and 2 x coats Plascon Velvaglo, using a rooler.
-
Alternatively, roof can be suspended with
anodized (or powder-coated)aluminium rails. (Complete aluminium and
s/steel roofs can also be constructed)
-
Benches should be slanted so as not to
collect water. Drain (40mm) should exist to facilitate cleaning of room.
-
Steam room doors should always open
outwards.
Steam
Generator Location:
·
Can be located above, behind or to the side of steam room. (ie:
Roof cavity, vanity cabinate or wall behind steam room.)
·
Steam pipes, water supply and electrical power supply to be
within 1m of final steam generator location.
Plumbing Requirements:
Water Supply:
Water supply via a stop-cock with a 22mm male
thread connection. (washing machine connection) within 1m of generator. A
flexible hose (supplied) will connect the steam unit to the stop-cock.
Steam Pipes:
(Chased into walls before tiling is complete)
-
2 x 22mm class 1 copper pipes to fall from
generator to steam room emerging approx 200mm above tiled floor extending
50mm out from tiled surface. Should be located in an area furthest from
bathers feet. Ideally, each should be at opposite ends of the steam room.
-
No water-traps in steam pipes which will
impede the flow of steam.
-
Steam pipes to extend approx 50mm directly
out from the walls in the steam room, to allow for steam head deflectors
to be fitted.
Electrical:
-
15 Kw 3-Phase units – 4mm 3 core and earth,
25 Amp 3 phase @ 220V to 3 pole Isolator (Neutral & Earth)
-
12 Kw 3-Phase units – 2.5mm Surfix, 20 Amp
3 phase @ 220V to 3 pole Isolator. (Neutral & Earth)
-
8 Kw 1-Phase units. – 6mm Surfix 35 Amp 1
phase @ 220V to Isolator. (Live,Neutral & Earth)
-
6 Kw 1-Phase Units. – 4mm Surfix, 25 Amp 1
phase @ 220V to Isolator. (Live,Neutral & Earth)
-
Isolator should in turn be connected to
earth leakage via circuit breaker.
Low Voltage Control Switch (In place before
tiling is complete)
-
The 24 volt high/low control switch
(supplied) may be flush or surface mounted inside the steam shower,
wherever most convenient.
-
Conduit must be run from this switch to the
generator. Please provide a pull wire or three core wire (for 24 volt)
from the waterproof switch through the conduit to the steam generator.
Operating Instructions:
-
Once the generator has been fitted. Turn on
at Isolator and water supply. Unit will immediately fill with water.
-
When water is at the correct level, it will
stop filling automatically.
-
The low voltage control switch can now be
switched on as follows:
Both
switches on = High
Any of the 2 x switches off = Medium.
Both switches off = Off.
