GREAT VIDEO! I just ordered the six-person sauna and was trying to figure out how to upgrade the heater to the wifi version. You literally just saved me a ton of money!!

After ordering all the components a few months back, I finally got around to setting it all up. Thanks so much for putting this video out there.

If it helps anyone else, you do still have to have a power plug from the switch. I just used one of the dozen or so computer power plugs I have lying storage.

What type of stain did you use for the wood?

Amazing video! I just ordered my sauna and your video covers the almost the moss I plan on doing to mine. I can’t wait!
Thanks !!

[plausible.deaniability]

Could you do a video on the wiring please?!

[richardbagley]

Would love to see a follow up video with more details about the WiFi controller (showing where all the wires coming in and out are coming from and what the are doing). I’ve had my sauna for 3 years, use it 3-5 times a week. The ONLY complaint I have is that I wish I could control the timer remotely! 🤓

Wow. A toast to you man. As a fellow owner this is awesome!

[NPow]

Please make a video on how you wired it

[MrShockj]

Great video man! Thanks for taking the time to share your hard work!

Freaking LOVE it! We just ordered one of these 4 person when it went on sale. Soo nice. You make me frightened with the finger so close to 30 amps. LOL The stain the stain, we are going to do that too. Just ordered the tarp.. You are very helpful! We put it together today and wow it was easy and not so easy. The videos from AH are kind of a joke. They leave a bunch of information about the install. Also lots of the staves are cracked and the bands weren't fun. Still freaking love this thing. We are having the electrician come over next week. Thanks for the info good stuff.

Thank you for posting this. This is really helpful

Do you have a video or instructions on how to install all that? I am about to order mine and im worried on how to add all this

[MichaelMerritt]

That tarp is a good price but it's PVC Coated Polyester which I have some concerns about toxic fumes off gassing from the heat beneath. These barrel saunas are far from air or water tight. Interesting if people have some affordable non toxic solutions.

Hey man, thanks for the video, it was helpful with temp sensor location but were you having any issues with the heater shutting down before it reaches 200? I placed my sensor in your location and it seems to turn off at 190. Not sure the issue.

Nice video! I bought one from Costco two weeks ago. It should arrive within 3-4 weeks. In the meantime, I've been watching videos and reading instructions on how to assembly it. I'm especially concerned about the electrical part. Did you do yourself or did you call someone to do it? Can you share how much you spent if you hired someone to do it? Thanks.

This was insanely helpful, thank you! Would love more info on how to wire and did you wire 240V from your home to it?

[vincfield]

Thank you so much for this video! Its amazing now

[kennethjessie]

Did you have to prep the wood before the Stain or just did you Stain it right out of the box? Also, what type of stain did you use for yours? just ordered my sauna this morning.

[richadamo]

Great video, did you seal the wood and if so what product did you use.
