Compare Infrared Sauna


The Hothouse Far Infrared Sauna Dome.

Comparisons of traditional and dome
infrared saunas, to clarify the market:

HTE was the first company to introduce the infrared healing sauna to the public in North America. It is called the Hothouse. The traditional sauna companies took note and followed suit, as well as many copycat dome type units.

SOURCE OF RADIATION:
NONE of the traditional saunas use the same unique patented crystal chip surface as HTE's Hothouse sauna dome which emits 100% far infrared. All infrared saunas besides the Hotouse, emit from only 40% to around 90% infrared (very few units reach 90%. Some units generate too much heat and thereby dramatically reduce the actual infrared emission level.

Sources used to generate infrared:

  • carbon panels or plastic carbon sheets mixed with bonding glue.
  • carbon coals.
  • carbonized steel metal rods.
  • ceramic coated metal rods.
  • aluminum plate with ceramic coat.
  • small flat and unreflective ceramic plates
  • plastic, ceramic or aluminum heaters
  • chemically treated wood and glues.
  • foldable synthetic material enclosure - wire and ceramic.
  • fiberglass domes - carbo
FYI: Glue produces toxic fumes - Ceramic will crack and break in half - Metal rods and wires generate too much heat - Aluminum is a very deadly toxin.

Be cautious of impostors - research, research, research!

Names of companies and choice of infrared source:

Therasauna, Saunagen, Sun Star, Dreamline, Hydra, Seamax, Royal, Eacon, Spatech, Keys - ceramic, wood.
Sun Life, Sauna King, Core - carbon, wood.
Verseo, Evergain, Infraspa, Waterstar, Royal Heat, Golden Heat - foldable synthetic upright, carbon.
Healiohealth, Waterstar- synthetic material dome, plastic, carbon and ceramic.
Sauna Dome, Far Infrared Dome - fiberglass or wood, carbon.

WAVELENGTH: Many infrared saunas and copycat domes do not radiate the correct micron far infrared ray wavelength which is 8 -10 microns (7-11 is acceptable). Many are less than 5 microns (towards medium infrared ray range) or beyond 11 microns, which is not physically beneficial.

WEIGHT: Most units weigh three times more than the Hothouse which is only 13lbs.

WARM UP TIME: Many units require 10-20 minutes minimum warm up time.The Hothouse heats up immediately.

HEAT RANGE: Many have temperature ranges that fluctuate dramatically. The Hothouse heat is constant.

SAFETY: Many do not have an electronic thermostat for safety. The Hothouse has a built in regulator.

PROXIMITY: Traditional sauna units have the source of infrared too far away from the body to have any impact. The infrared emitter surface should be as close to the body as possible. The far infrared Hothouse is within inches of the body.

MEDICAL DEVICE: Many units lack medical research and have no medical approval. The Hothouse far infrared sauna dome is registered as a medical device in three countries.

SIZE: One size copycat igloo far infrared dome sauna do not accommodate larger bodies. The Hothouse sauna dome comes in two sizes to accomodate bodies over 200lbs.

SANITARY: Many infrared units, especially the traditional saunas, are considered unsanitary due to sweating and require clothing removal. You do not have to remove clothing under the Hothouse dome sauna.

FYI: Far Infrared is a DRY heat - you do not sweat and you may keep your clothes on. Traditional sauna are a WET heat - you sweat and you have to remove your clothes.

FYI - Infrared Spectrum
Infrared is the common abbreviation used for Far Infrared or FIR. However, the range is more clearly defined as Near, Mid or Far:
1) Near Infrared LIGHT RAY are extremely hot. Folate-conjugated gold nanorods targeted to tumor cell surfaces produced severe membrane damage upon near-infrared light irradiation. Near Infrared is used for chemical analysis in conjunction with the biotechnology of Spectroscopy.
2) Middle or Mid Infrared LIGHT RAY, are used in the application of laser science and spectroscopy.
3) Far Infrared HEAT RAY are used in many medical applications, such as incubators, physical therapy and dermatology.
