We recommend setting the sauna between 80°C and 100°C, depending on your comfort level and heat tolerance.

With our powerful 9kW Huum heater, the sauna typically reaches 80°C in approximately 45-50 minutes. The Wi-Fi enabled heater allows you to preheat your sauna remotely.

The running costs will depend on your usage habits. Based on typical usage and average NSW electricity prices:

Sauna: Approximately $19.40 per week (based on 90 minutes of use per day).

Cold Plunge: Approximately $29 per week (based on daily use).

For best results, we recommend sauna sessions lasting 15-20 minutes for relaxation and up to 30-40 minutes for deeper detoxification. Always listen to your body and stay hydrated.

We recommend 3-4 sessions per week for improved circulation, muscle recovery, and stress relief. Daily use is also safe for experienced sauna users.

We recommend alternating between 15-20 minutes in the sauna followed by 1-3 minutes in the cold plunge. Repeat this cycle 2-3 times for optimal recovery and relaxation benefits.

This depends on the size and capacity of your solar system and what other devices are drawing power. The 9kW Huum heater requires significant energy, so we recommend consulting your solar provider to confirm compatibility.

No, oils or fragrances should not be added to the heater as they may damage the heater elements and void the warranty. Only use water on the sauna heater stones.

The chiller unit can maintain water temperatures between 3°C and 42°C.

Cooling time depends on the initial water temperature, ambient temperature, and exposure to sunlight. Generally, it takes 3-4 hours to reach optimal cold plunge temperatures.

We recommend skimming the surface with a spa net after each use, wiping down internal tub surfaces weekly, and changing the water monthly (or sooner depending on usage).

Regular water treatment with appropriate products is recommended. Refer to your user manual for best practices. Regularly change your paper filter, wash your inner water strainer, skim the water with a spa net and empty and refill your water once per month or sooner.

Yes, the Psycle Cold Plunge is designed for indoor and outdoor use. Its IPX4-rated chiller is safe for outdoor conditions, and the insulated lid helps maintain cold temperatures efficiently.

We use high grade Canadian Hemlock, which undergoes a thermo-treatment process to enhance durability, resistance to warping, and moisture protection. Each piece is then hand flame-treated and embossed for a unique aesthetic with improved weather resistance.

Shou Sugi Ban is an ancient Japanese wood preservation technique that chars the timber's surface, creating a protective carbon layer that increases resistance to water, insects, rot, and weathering.

No, the Psycle Sauna is equipped with a 9kW Huum traditional sauna heater for an authentic Finnish sauna experience that balances heat and humidity effectively.

Yes, our sauna is the worlds first sauna offering blue light free lighting which includes the option for a calming red light for evening use or a warm amber light for day time use.

Yes, the sauna heater comes with a sleek Huum UKU Glass Wi-Fi enabled control panel, allowing you to adjust temperature and timer settings on the dial or remotely via your smartphone or tablet.

While bitumen shingles are common in budget saunas, they are made from toxic materials that can leach chemicals into the sauna timber over time.

When the timber is heated during sauna sessions, these chemicals can release harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contaminating the air you breathe. Sauna is for detox, not retox.

Our weather-safe roof kit is a natural sauna timber shingled roof, toxin-free, the way your sauna should be. The efficacy of the roof is in the purposeful roof pitch, rubber sheet and shou sugi ban shingles allows the water to naturally drain off, reducing moisture accumulation. Additionally, the Shou Sugi Ban treatment enhances the wood's resistance to mould.

The sauna weighs approximately 650kg. The cold plunge weighs approximately 250kg dry weight, and approximately 780kg when filled with water.

The Psycle Genesis Sauna requires a 50AMP dedicated circuit. While single-phase power is sufficient, three-phase power is ideal. The sauna draws approximately 35amps during heating phase with lights and ventilation active.

The Psycle Sauna is constructed without toxic materials such as glue-filled wall cavities, chemical-treated timber, or VOC-emitting finishes. Instead, we use thermo-treated Canadian Hemlock and the Shou Sugi Ban technique, ensuring your sauna is free from harmful toxins.

The Psycle Sauna is built to traditional Finnish sauna standards, ensuring optimal heat distribution and airflow. This design prevents carbon dioxide buildup, reduces the risk of mold, and enhances overall comfort with balanced heat throughout the sauna.

We like to call them 'sauna looking objects'. Unlike most saunas on the market, Psycle Saunas are engineered to deliver an exceptional, toxin-free wellness experience that budget saunas simply can’t match. Unlike budget models, our saunas are built using:

• Zero-toxin materials — no glue-filled walls, chemically treated timber, or VOC-emitting finishes.
• Premium thermo-treated Canadian Hemlock for superior durability, stability, and longevity.
• Advanced heat retention to provide consistent warmth and optimal performance.
• Custom ventilation systems that ensure fresh oxygen circulation, reducing carbon dioxide buildup and improving comfort.
• Premium HUUM 9kW heater with Wi-Fi control, ensuring optimal heat output and enhanced usability.

While passive ventilation may allow some airflow, it is not sufficient to maintain optimal air quality, temperature control, and comfort during extended sauna use. Our custom mechanical ventilation system actively circulates fresh oxygen throughout the sauna to ensure:

• Consistent Heat Distribution: Active ventilation balances airflow to eliminate hot and cold spots, creating an even temperature throughout the sauna.
• Improved Air Quality: By actively refreshing the air, CO2 buildup is minimized, ensuring a safer and more comfortable environment.
• Reduced Humidity & Mold Risk: Active airflow helps remove excess moisture, preventing mold growth and preserving the timber.

Our custom ventilation system ensures optimal airflow, allowing fresh oxygen to circulate throughout the sauna. This improves air quality, prevents CO2 buildup, and maintains a balanced and consistent heat distribution. The ventilation system also helps to reduce excess humidity, enhancing comfort and ensuring a cleaner environment inside your sauna.

The upright design allows for a natural sitting position that enhances comfort and enables full-body submersion without feeling cramped. This design maximizes immersion for improved cold therapy benefits.

The upright position also allows for full diaphragmatic breathing without uncomfortable, cramped laying positions in bath tub style designs.

The compact footprint of the Cold Plunge has been designed to fit neatly into homes, gyms, or wellness spaces without compromising on performance.

Because most saunas look boring! Shou Sugi Ban is an ancient Japanese wood preservation technique that involves charring the timber's surface to create a protective carbon layer. This process significantly enhances durability by increasing resistance to moisture, insects, and rot. It also gives the wood a rich, textured finish that adds a an incredible aesthetic while improving longevity.
