Using the Sauna
• The sauna heater is extremely hot. Do not touch any part of the equipment.
• Use the ladle and bucket to keep adding water during your use to increase or maintain temperature and humidity. (You may need to restart the heater timer)
• When pouring water on the rocks, start from the point furthest away from you and draw the ladle towards you to prevent the steam from scalding your arm.
• We recommend using 2 towels. 1 for sitting on and 1 for drying off after.
• Listen to your body! Leave the sauna if you start to feel uncomfortable, nauseous, dizzy or lightheaded.
• Nudity is not permitted.
• Make sure to drink plenty of water before, during and after your sauna session.
Using the Cold Plunge
• Shower with soap and water before you enter.
• Remove cover fully and place behind the plunge pool.
• The water is from a local underground aquifer and chilled to between 42°-45° Fahrenheit, we recommend that people with less experience start slow (20-30 seconds) and gradually increase their time in the plunge. Safety is the #1 priority.
• Please remember to listen to your body and know your limits.
• Note: The cold plunge water is continuously filtered, treated, and cleaned regularly.
