Because the Virta is robust and rocks are separated from the heating elements, it is perfect for people who are looking for long and frequent sauna sessions. Virta achieves smooth and gentle heat with the best technology and the right amount of stones. All Harvia heaters can reach 190F
Since the stone space is separated from the heating elements, that keeps the sauna preheating time quite short.
The heater needs 150lbs of stones.
Harvia Virta sauna heaters are easy to install, all the connections are made through the service hatch at the front. Because the heating elements are separated from the stones, the lifespan of the heater is longer.
If a heating element needs to be replaced, it can be done quickly and easily, as the entire heating element package can be pulled out of the heater. Other maintenance actions have also been considered in the design of the heaters from the beginning.
The free-standing rectangular design of Virta offers a lot of flexibility for your sauna design. You can place the heater in the middle of your sauna room, in the corner, or embed it into the sauna benches.
The heater is controlled by an external controller. With its elegant touchscreen design, the sauna heater controls may be surface or flush-mounted and adjust for time duration, temperature, and room lighting. There is also a Wi-Fi option for turning the heater on remotely.
