The Saunum Air L 10 in stainless steel is a 10kW floor-standing sauna heater with a patented integrated climate equalizer - a system that no other sauna heater manufacturer offers. Where every other heater in this catalog simply heats the sauna room and lets temperature stratify naturally, the Saunum Air L actively mixes the air: a built-in fan draws cooler, oxygen-rich air from the floor of the sauna room, blends it with hot, oxygen-depleted air from the ceiling, and distributes the mixed airstream evenly throughout the room. The practical result is a sauna environment where the temperature difference between the floor and the ceiling is substantially smaller than in a conventionally heated room - and where oxygen levels are more consistent from bench level to ceiling, making the air easier to breathe even at high temperatures.
The patented air mixing system - why no cold feet matters
In a conventional electric sauna, stratification is unavoidable: the heating elements warm the air adjacent to them, hot air rises to the ceiling, and the floor and lower bench level remain significantly cooler than the upper bench. Bathers on the upper bench experience intense heat while bathers or children on the lower bench experience much milder conditions - and the oxygen concentration drops toward the ceiling as heat displaces it. The Saunum Air L's patented climate equalizer addresses this directly. The fan system pulls cool floor air into the heater, mixes it with hot ceiling air, and delivers a blended airstream at an intermediate temperature throughout the room rather than allowing two distinct zones to develop. The result is a more comfortable experience at every level of the sauna room, better air quality throughout the session, and the ability to sit anywhere in the room rather than only on the upper bench for meaningful heat.
190-lb stone capacity and Himalayan salt reservoir
The Air L 10 holds 190 lbs of sauna stones (6 boxes, sold separately). This is one of the largest stone capacities of any residential-grade sauna heater in this catalog - significantly more than the Virta HL60E's 110 lbs or the Cilindro PC80's 200 lbs. Large stone mass produces softer, more sustained steam, absorbs more water per ladle without cooling rapidly, and distributes heat more evenly because the stone surface area releasing radiant heat is larger. Within the stone airstream, Saunum positions a Himalayan salt reservoir: Himalayan salt spheres sit within the air current produced by the climate equalizer, so that as the air circulates through the room it carries salt ions - reported to benefit respiratory health and skin. The salt spheres are included with the heater. The optional aromatherapy system (sold separately) adds a further sensory layer by infusing aroma into the circulating airstream.
Active sauna drying - the fan keeps working after the session
Because the Saunum Air L has an integrated fan system for the climate equalizer, that same fan can be used to dry the sauna room after a session. Water tossed onto the stones during the session, condensation on the sauna walls and benches, and residual humidity are all reduced more quickly by the active air circulation than in a conventional sauna that relies entirely on passive ventilation and natural drying. This is a meaningful practical benefit for sauna rooms used frequently: shorter drying time between sessions, reduced moisture accumulation in the wood, and lower humidity in the sauna structure when not in use. A required external control unit (AirIQ WiFi control, sold separately) manages both the heater and the climate device, with full control via the Saunum app on iOS and Android.
Stainless steel finish - the SS model
This listing is for the stainless steel version of the Air L 10 (164-AIR-L-SSB-10). The Saunum Air L is also available in black steel. Both are identical in all technical specifications - the choice between them is purely aesthetic. The stainless finish suits lighter natural wood sauna interiors where a reflective polished surface complements the wood tones. The black finish suits darker cedar, thermally modified wood, and contemporary design palettes where the heater should recede visually rather than stand out.

Why the Saunum Air L 10 stands out
Patented air mixing - even heat floor to ceiling
No other sauna heater in this catalog actively mixes sauna room air. The integrated fan draws cool, oxygen-rich floor air into the climate equalizer, blends it with hot ceiling air, and distributes it throughout the room - eliminating the cold floor zone and oxygen-depleted upper zone that conventional heaters produce. Consistent heat and oxygen from head to toe.
Himalayan salt reservoir - included
7 Himalayan salt spheres are loaded into the salt reservoir within the airstream. As the climate equalizer circulates air through the room, salt ions are carried throughout the sauna space. Negative salt ions are reported to support respiratory health and skin. The salt spheres are included with this listing - no additional purchase needed to activate this feature.
190 lbs stone capacity
One of the largest stone loads of any residential-grade heater in this catalog. 190 lbs of stones stores substantial thermal energy, produces softer and more sustained steam, and provides the large heated surface area that Saunum's air mixing system distributes evenly through the room. 6 boxes of stones are required and sold separately.
Active sauna drying
When the session ends, the climate equalizer fan continues circulating air through the sauna room, drying the wood, benches, and stones faster than passive ventilation alone. For frequently used saunas, shorter drying time between sessions means less moisture accumulation in the structure and longer-lasting interior materials.
6 sauna bathing styles
Finnish sauna, Russian banya, steam sauna, herbal sauna, aroma sauna, and relaxation mode - each achieved by adjusting the balance of heat, airflow, and humidity through the AirIQ control. The Saunum app presets allow saving up to 3 preferred configurations for repeatable, one-tap session starts.
Polished stainless steel finish
The SS model in polished stainless steel suits lighter natural wood sauna interiors. Identical in all technical specifications to the black steel Air L 10 - the choice is purely aesthetic. UL Listed, 240V/1-phase, 50A breaker, 6 AWG wire. Made in Estonia by Saunum.
About Saunum
Made in Estonia - patented technology
Saunum. The only sauna heater that actively manages the air you breathe.
Saunum is an Estonian sauna technology company whose single defining innovation is the climate equalizer: a patented fan system integrated into the heater body that mixes sauna room air rather than simply heating it. Every other heater in this catalog heats the air and relies on convection and passive ventilation to distribute it. Saunum goes further - the fan actively circulates air, carries salt ions from the Himalayan reservoir through the room, enables six distinct sauna experiences through varying heat and airflow settings, and dries the sauna after use. The Air L is Saunum's largest residential model, with 190 lbs of stone capacity and 10kW output for rooms up to 494 cubic feet.
