What are dual saunas?
Dual saunas are a combination of both the traditional sauna heater and the newer infrared sauna heaters. Purporting added benefits these saunas can be operated as traditional saunas, infrared saunas or even both at the same time.
Do you sell dual sauna units?
No, Aqualine Saunas does not sell dual saunas. The reason for this is simple: exposed electrical circuits and water do not mix. Traditional saunas produce a moist, humid atmosphere whereas infrared saunas are a dry sauna.
All infrared saunas will have some exposed circuitry or wiring, even if this is just a small amount where the wiring makes contact with the heaters.
The moisture generated when using a traditional sauna will cause the infrared components to degrade over time. While you might not notice anything wrong for around a year or so problem will start to surface, right about the time that 1 year warranty expires. Corrosion of the elements and wiring is an all too common problem.
Add this to the fact that as the sauna cools and moisture condenses you can often find pools of water trapped inside the infrared heater enclosures. This can increase the risk of electrocution.
One also needs to be aware of potential health risks of using a dual sauna. Remember that Traditional Saunas and Infrared Saunas warm the body in different ways. Traditional Saunas warm the body via increased air temperatures whereas infrared saunas heat the body directly. Using both these features at the same time will cause you to perspire a lot faster than you usually would.
This can cause serious overheating and dehydration issues with bathers often not noticing until it is too late. The moist atmosphere generated by the Traditional Sauna heater will mask the symptoms of dehydration and overheating which could potentially lead to death.
Dual sauna units are far more dangerous than separate units and it is a risk we are not prepared to expose our customers too.
