Commercial Steam Generators

The MrSteam CX Series is a dedicated atmospheric commercial generator engineered for 24/7 use. Unlike residential units that require several minutes to reach temperature, the CX maintains an internal water reservoir at an elevated state to provide near-instant steam, a necessity for high-traffic health clubs.

In high-volume public environments, mineral pitting is a constant risk. Saunacore utilizes 321-grade surgical stainless steel for their boiler tanks, which we find is essential for withstanding the persistent thermal stress and aggressive chemical profiles often found in North American municipal water supplies.

The Power Pak is a high-output commercial engine specifically designed for "Day Spa" environments. While residential units focus on luxury interfaces, the Power Pak serves as a centralized workhorse capable of powering up to four separate steam rooms independently or simultaneously from a single unit.

It depends on the facility requirements. Atmospheric units like the MrSteam CX run quieter and often bypass the need for specialized boiler permits. Pressurized boiler systems, common in Saunacore Pro-Series models, provide a denser and more forceful steam blast preferred by many traditional athletic clubs.

For commercial spaces, we calculate "Effective Cubic Footage" by applying a factor of 1.25x to 1.5x to account for frequent door openings. We also remind installers that if the room utilizes natural stone, the required kilowatt rating must be doubled to maintain therapeutic heat levels.

Yes. Commercial units are available in specific voltages including 208V, 480V, and 600V 3-phase. Utilizing 3-phase power is the technical standard for US commercial buildings because it reduces amperage draw per leg, allowing for more efficient wiring and stable performance.

Yes. The CX controller allows managers to operate two separate steam environments from one centralized interface. This feature enables independent scheduling for separate Men's and Women's facilities, ensuring power is only consumed during specific operating hours.

Most local health codes mandate that commercial boilers be "blown down" or flushed daily to purge sediment. Our units utilize automatic rinse and flush systems to ensure scale is removed every 24 hours, which we have verified prevents element burnout and maintains water hygiene.

The AromaFlo is a motorized metering pump that injects essential oils directly into the steam line. This is a critical requirement for public spas, as it ensures a consistent scent profile while preventing bathers from manually applying oils to hot steam heads.

In facilities running 16+ hours daily, elements typically require service every two to four years. We recommend Saunacore’s low-density incoloy elements because they utilize a higher surface area to reduce watt-density and heat-stress, extending the intervals between service calls.

Per UL and safety codes, public steam rooms must feature an emergency "Steam Stop" button inside the enclosure. This provides bathers with an immediate shut-off mechanism in the event of an emergency or if the room temperature becomes uncomfortable.

Yes. Every unit in our commercial collection is cULus listed. We emphasize that this certification is mandatory for passing US building inspections and ensuring your facility remains fully compliant with commercial insurance requirements.

Not always. The MrSteam CX is engineered for equipment-room-free installation. Its vertical, compact design allows it to be housed in small utility closets or even under-bench areas (with proper clearance), helping to reclaim valuable floor space in gym layouts.

Commercial warranties are typically limited to one to two years for parts because the duty cycle of a hotel—often 20 hours per day—is equivalent to a decade of residential use. We provide comprehensive support and parts availability to manage this intensive wear.

Facility managers use this feature to automate the spa's thermal cycle. You can program the system to pre-heat at 5:00 AM for the morning rush and automatically shut off at night, which we have found significantly reduces facility utility costs.

Linear steamheads release a "curtain" of steam rather than a single jet, which avoids creating hot spots near a bather's legs. We recommend these for high-end hospitality environments where guest safety and silent operation are paramount.

Generally, we do not recommend residential luxury heads for public rooms. Instead, we utilize industrial-grade recessed lighting and waterproof audio components specifically engineered to handle the constant 100 percent humidity of a public steam environment.

SteamVection is a ThermaSol technology that ensures floor-to-ceiling temperature uniformity. In expansive commercial rooms where heat tends to pocket at the ceiling, this physics-based design ensure a guest's feet remain as warm as their upper body.

A 24kW generator consumes approximately six to eight gallons of water per hour of operation. While higher than residential use, we note that it remains an exceptionally efficient water-use model compared to commercial pools or large hot tubs.

The "CU" series is the technical standard for massive US facilities like YMCAs and large-scale health clubs. These are vertical, pressurized steel boilers designed for rooms exceeding 1,000 cubic feet where a massive volume of steam is required.
