This listing is the heater only. A UKU control unit and sauna stones are required for operation and sold separately. The DROP 9 is the top model in the HUUM DROP wall-mounted series - the highest output and largest room coverage in the DROP range, for rooms from 318 to 530 cubic feet on a single 50A \/ 8 AWG circuit. No UKU Extension Box is required. For a complete installation including control and stones in a single purchase, see the HUUM DROP 9STU Package listing at BathingBrands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTop of the DROP series - 9kW for rooms up to 530 cu ft\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HUUM DROP series covers four output levels: 4.5kW (106-177 cu ft, 30A), 6kW (177-318 cu ft, 30A), 7.5kW (248-389 cu ft, 40A), and 9kW (318-530 cu ft, 50A). The DROP 9 is the highest output in the series and covers the widest room range - 318 to 530 cubic feet. For dedicated home sauna rooms at the larger end of standard residential sauna sizes, two-bench sauna cabins, and smaller commercial installations where the DROP's wall-mounted water-droplet form is the design choice, the DROP 9 provides the output to heat the room effectively and maintain temperature through extended sessions. The same 122-lb stone capacity and 2\"-4\" (5-10 cm) rounded olivine stone specification applies across all four DROP output levels - the heater body scales in output without changing the stone specification or the iconic water-droplet profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e50A \/ 8 AWG - the heaviest DROP circuit, no Extension Box\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DROP 9 requires a single 50A \/ 8 AWG circuit - heavier than the DROP 7.5 (40A \/ 8 AWG) and the DROP 4.5 and 6 (both 30A \/ 10 AWG). Despite requiring the 50A specification, no UKU Extension Box is required for the DROP 9: the Extension Box threshold is above 12kW, and at 9kW the DROP 9 connects directly to the UKU control. Confirm the electrical panel has an available 50A slot before ordering. A licensed electrician is required for the 50A \/ 8 AWG circuit connection. Do not connect to a GFI\/GFCI breaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStone placement matters - 122 lbs correctly placed extends element life\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorrect stone placement in the DROP basket is important for heating element longevity and steam quality across all DROP models. The DROP 9's 122-lb stone load at 9kW generates substantial heat cycling through the elements on every session; correct airflow around the elements through proper stone placement directly affects element service life. The Stone Placement Video in the documents section below provides step-by-step guidance for the correct DROP loading method. Use only 2\"-4\" (5-10 cm) rounded olivine diabase stones as specified in the Stone Requirements document. Stones are not included in this listing and must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sl-hook\"\u003e9kW wall-mounted sauna heater for rooms from 318 to 530 cubic feet.
