Steam Generator Controls (See Products)
A steam generator control is the user-interface for the steam bath generator. On, off, steam bathing temperature control, and much more is available at your fingertips from both inside and outside the steam shower. From simple to sophisticated, steam generator control design and features vary greatly in both design and features, each uniquely enhancing the steam bathing experience!
Outside-the-steam-shower (exterior) controls can be installed anywhere that is convenient with primary consideration given to accessibility while steam bathing. Exterior controls are convenient when initiating the steam bath, however they can be quite inconvenient when the bather wants to stop the steam generator or adjust the bathing environment. Leaving the steam shower to make control adjustments during your bath is quite unpleasant. When an outside control is desired, SteamSaunaBath always recommends the installation of a secondary control inside the steam shower for a safer, convenient, and pleasant steam bathing experience.
Inside-the-steam-shower (interior) controls are low voltage and generally installed approximately 48" off the floor, furthest away from the steam outlet head and within reach of the steam bather while relaxing. SteamSaunaBath highly recommends the installation of at least one interior steam shower control. Consider the value and convenience of adjusting your environment while seated or relaxed. Additionally, an interior control offers simplicity of operation for both infrequent steam bathers and guests. When a single interior steam shower control is utilized, special consideration should be given to installing it in close proximity to the enclosure door for easy on/off operation.
A secondary or dual control system offers the steam bather the most flexibility and sophistication in steam bath operation. Initiate your 10-minute vacation without entering the enclosure. Let the room gently warm as the inside control monitors the environment. Enter your sanctuary minutes later never looking back at the world outside as you enjoy complete control of your steam bathing comfort.
Wireless remote controls (RF & IR) allow for complete steam bath control from the comfort of your steam shower seat. Approved for inside the shower operation, these hand-held remotes afford the bather the ultimate in luxury and convenience.
Provided below is a detailed accounting for every type of control used to initiate the steam bathing experience since the early days of steam bathing. Still today, all of these methods are readily available and actively utilized to deliver the pleasures steam bathing affords. Mounted either inside and/or outside of the steam shower enclosure, when selecting a control system, consider your preferences on design, features, location, aesthetics, and cost to determine the appropriate control for your desired environment.
