Questions & Answers about the Relax Far
Infrared Sauna
Phil Wilson, owner of Relax Saunas of Momentum, answers questions from customers about the sauna.Questions & Answer Index
What is the power requirement in Watts?The sauna puts out 1400 watts of far infrared energy. We have both American(120 volt) and European (220 volt) models. return to index Why is there no delivery to Israel?We
do ship the Relax Sauna to Israel all of the time.
We however have to ship it from Taiwan, and the
cost of shipping it to Israel is about $250 FEDEX
EXPRESS. We ship to Israel the Israeli Relax Sauna
which has the plug they use in Israel, and also
has the correct voltage (i.e. 220), so that it
will work with no problems in Israel. We can ship
pretty much to any country in the world, and we
specially make the Relax Sauna in Taiwan to be
exactly the right voltage and right plug for their
country . Hopefully this information is relevant
today, and you can decide to get a Relax Sauna
shipped to you. We have shipped at least 10-20
Relax Saunas to Israel in the last 15 years. The
Relax Sauna belongs in every country. What are the dimensions when opened?It
is 32 inches wide, 33 inches deep, and 46 inches
tall. Or in metric units 0.80m by 0.80m and 1.15m
tall. What years model is this sauna?The current model of the
Relax Sauna is the same sauna that came out in 2008.
When you find a great product that works, sometimes,
there is nothing you can do to make it work better.
The Technology discovered in manufacturing the Relax
Sauna was a leap in technology similar to the
difference between Edison technology and Tesla
technology. The Relax sauna generators are able to
generate 95-99% pure far infrared Light. Almost all of
the other infrared saunas generate only 18 -50% far
infrared energy, with perhaps 1 or 2 companies
figuring out how to generate as much as 61 or 62%. The
2008 model is the one that we currently sell. It works
great. Check out the 500 plus testimonials on Youtube. Approximately how much does it cost to run, per session, etc?If you use the Relax Sauna for 1 hour, using 1400 watts, that would be 1 1/2 kilowatt hours. Most municipalities charge on the average of about 10-11 cents per kilowatt hour, depending upon whether the energy is used in peak or non-peak hours. Columbus Ohio is about 10-11 cents per kilowatt hours. Some states such as California Could be as much as 10-20 cents per kilowatt hours. If you use the Relax Sauna for an hour a day, the average increase in your electric bill should be about $4 - $5 a month. Not too much compared to the incredible benefits you derive. And you never have to replace the parts. return to index Is it possible to lie down in this model ( if desired ()in case the chair is uncomfortable or I am too tired to sit up)?If you want to Lie down, simply get the Relax Lie Down Sauna, which works as well as the Relax Sit-up Sauna. Hundreds of happy Relax Lie Down Sauna users find that exactly when they are too tired to sit up, the lie down is great. It fits on top of a massage table. Many use it on top of their bed, and use it when they go to sleep at night. Many have both the Sit-up and the Lie Down Relax Saunas, and when they feel really week, use the Lie Down Sauna. When they feel strong, they use the Sit-up Sauna. The Lie down Sauna, although only 800 watts, is just as effective as the Relax Sit up Sauna. Do a search on the internet for it. It is a great lie down sauna. And if you are very creative, there really are ways to lie down in the relax sauna. (i.e. Lie on your back, and have your feet stick up in the air. However, you really need to be athletically inclined to be able to do this. So best bet is to get the Relax Lie Down Sauna. return to index What kind of clothes are recommended for the sauna?You can use clothes or not. Anyone can do a 5-10 minute session with their street clothes, and have as an effective session as if they had no clothes. If you are going to sweat, then wear light cotton clothes, or NO clothes. Put a folded bath towel on the sauna chair, and then drape another bath towel over the chair. You can have a profuse sweat in 15-20 minutes. All of your sweat will go on the towel. If desired, you can place a hand towel on the floor to catch additional sweat which could fall from your legs. The Sauna can be cleaned by zipping it up and turning it on for 5 minutes. Any sweat that follows on the nylon bottom can easily be cleaned with a cloth and any kind of good health-food store soap. return to index Do you get all the parts of the sauna?Yes, the tent, poles, radiator and timer system (attached), blue cradle holder for timer, chair, and the bag it all goes into with the exception of the chair that folds up within itself. return to index What kind of warranty does it have? Although there is a 1 year warranty,
we expect the Relax Sauna radiators to last
between 10-40 years. We were running one of
the double radiators for 9 years 24/7 until
there was a power failure at the place where
they were running the relax sauna generator.
Like furniture, sometimes you want to
re-upholster the furniture. The Relax Sauna
tent, if taken care of, also can last 10 or
more years. If not taken care of, new tents
can be purchased. In 15 years of selling the
Relax Saunas in the United States, we have had
less than 3 complaints about the chairs going
bad. All parts are replaceable if somehow
lost. return to index Can this sauna operate at less than 140 degrees? My doctor said 120-130 degrees and I have trouble even with that high a heat. Generally the temperature inside the
relax Sauna gets to be 120-140 degrees within
a few minutes. Each of the two radiators has
its own on/off switch. One can turn one of the
radiator switches off. However, this is not
necessary. The Relax Sauna uniquely uses the
silver coating of the tent to mirror the light
so you can get every part of your body in
front of the far infrared light. The increase
in core temperature is a direct result of the
energy medicine light resonating with your
water cells, and increasing your core
temperature. If you are too hot, simply unzip
the middle zipper 1-12 inches, and you will be
at a very comfortable temperature, and
experience the complete benefit of being in
the Relax Sauna. It's not the heat that
creates benefit. It is the resonating light,
which increases your core temperature,
mobilizes the lymph, and increases the
micro-circulation. Once you are sweating, and
you get too hot, simply unzip the zipper, and
you will find yourself still sweating
profusely, but very comfortable. return to index What are the benefits of this sauna as compared to the Sunlighten Solo System?The Sunlighten Solo System is a good system. The Relax Sauna gives 95-99% pure far infrared light. They have a lie down version, and a sit up version. The lie Down version, as stated, is 95-99% pure far infrared light. I believe the Sunlighten system only generates about 40-50% far infrared light. The Relax Saunas heat up in 30 seconds, not 20-30 minutes, and only take 20 minutes for a complete sweat. Many who own the Sunlighten system have met us at shows and are amazed at how quickly the Relax Sauna heats up. We find that the greater percentage of far infrared emitted, the more effective the sauna is. Similarly 10 grams of vitamin C is more effective than 1 gram vitamin c. The Relax Sauna has 100's of comparison testimonials on YouTube. return to index Does the sauna have PVC material? plastic?All portable Saunas made in China with Carbon panels are tied to a 20-25 square foot tri-fold Corrugated Plastic Display board which holds the sauna tent upright. The same can be said for any sauna using tourmaline disks. It thus appears that the Relax Sauna is the ONLY portable sauna that has no pvc material or plastic. As stated by the other answer-er, there is no out gassing with the Nylon tent, which is coated with a silver that acts as a mirror, and thus reflects the far infrared light so one gets an even distribution of healing far infrared light throughout the sauna. It turns out that the tent is made in Taiwan by the same company that makes space suits for NASA. return to index What is the EMF level?These are 3 videos of me
going around my store with a Gauss
meter measuring the EMF of the Relax Sauna and other
items. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZuR4qyGKjE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cfjA_zgsaU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1NsHy6G4lI This is a video of a - very sensitive to EMF - man from Philly who is a musician, and maintains that the EMF coming out of our radiators cannot get into his body to affect him negatively: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLpZQm1z37c Dr. Roger Billica is an Environmental Medical Doctor in Colorado. He used to be the Medical Director for The NASA Space Program, and was the personal physician of John Glenn, Astronaut, and the first American to orbit the Earth. He has a Health Clinic, and has found that the Relax Sauna has been extremely helpful to over 80 of his patients, and probably a lot more. He has helped us sell at least 80 Relax Saunas to his patients. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0uvDPGs-_w return to index How can I buy the 220W model?We
ship the Relax Sauna to any country. We customize
the voltage and the plug to work in your country.
Generally shipping to Europe, Australia, or
Israel, or India, or South Africa, etc would cost
$250 for FedEx
Priority shipping. Let us know what country you
are in, and we can ship directly from Taiwan to
your country to give you the exact voltage and
plug that all appliances in your country use.
return to index What is the material? is it treated with PFOA or flame retardants?The Relax Sauna tent is NOT in any way treated with PFOA or Flame Retardants. The Relax Sauna has passed all safety inspections. The semi-conductor chips when touched by tissue paper, or sheets, or clothes or paper will absolutely NOT Burn. But I think your concern is about toxic flame retardants. I would not want any of these poisons in my sauna. So your question is very well-warranted. Rest assured that the Relax Sauna tent is made out of Nylon with a silver coating, which acts as a mirror so that every cell in your body can benefit from the far infrared light generated by the Relax Sauna radiators. The purpose of the Relax Sauna is to detoxify you of the overload of chemicals that over the years have made their way into your body. return to index What is the weight limit for the chair? The recommended maximum weight of the Relax Sauna chair is 220 lbs. Anecdotally, however, We were able to fit a fella called Big Mike into
the Sauna. He was 7 ft 1" tall, and weighed
435 lbs. The chair is very sturdy, and very
strong. return to index How many electrical plugs are there that go into a wall outlet?There is one 3-prong plug that comes from the double-radiator. You can see a picture of this plug on: https://momentum98.com/relaxsaunanewmodel.html The "new Model" of the Relax Sauna is the 2008 model. When you have something that works, it works. No need to change it. return to index What is the process after you get out of the sauna?Great Question. I am adding my 2 cents as well. I usually towel dry, and drink as much water as I want, which frankly tastes better than water ever tasted. Filtered water, or spring water, or oxygenated water, or hydrogen added water, or whatever water you deem the healthiest water. Your body will continue to detox for another 20 minutes after a 20 minute sweat. If you have to be somewhere, and you want to take a shower, then do so. However, to add to the benefit you derive from a 20 minute sauna sweat, wait 20 minutes before you shower. Your body is in detox mode. it will continue to detox. So to maximize detoxing benefits, wait 20 minutes. However, if you need to shower, you still got great benefit in sweating. No Room for any guilt. You just had a joyful experience in the Relax Sauna. Continue with your joy. (By the way, I have been known to repeat the process another 1 or 2 times, and call that experience: Spa Day for Phil - as if I were at a spa for 9 hours. It feels so good to repeat.) return to index Sweating is not the best way to detox. Anyway noticing improvement or increase in bowel movement, which is the main way the body gets rid of toxin?There is a great book on
Sweating, perhaps the best: written by Dr. Bill
Akpinar, the book, "No Sweat ! KNOW Sweat ?" gives a
history of the use of saunas in the last 3000 years.
Hippocrates said, "Find me a way to Create Sweat, and
I WILL CURE disease." return to index Where is this product manufactured?The Relax Sauna is completely made in Taiwan. The company that makes the Relax Sauna is celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2018. Taiwan makes 94% of the world's semi-conductor chips. It took 10 years to discover the technology (semi-conductor chips) that transform electricity into over 95% pure far infrared light. The Relax Sauna is just now celebrating its 20th anniversary of existing. The Relax Sauna has been available in the United States now for 15 years. return to index Where is more information about the fir light infrared? is it blowers or panels too? what is the highest temp it gets? There is a spot
that has a lot of information you might want to
know! Here is the link to that location. https://momentum98.com/relaxsauna.html return to index What is the temperature range for this sauna?By opening up the zipper one can adjust the temperature to be as low as 110 degrees. Generally the temperature fluctuates between 130-140 degrees. And it actually can get up to 169 degrees. When that happens, unless you love intense heat, just unzip the zipper 1-10 inches,and the temperature will drop considerably so you will be very comfortable in the Relax Sauna. return to index Can the top part where your head is exposed be closed up with a flap so you can be fully enclosed?It is the far infrared light that resonates with the water and organic cells in your body, causing an increase in core temperature, lymph flow, and micro-circulation, along with dozens of other benefits. The Relax Sauna is a Pro-Choice Sauna. You have the choice to put your head inside the Sauna (with or without the chair). By taking slouching lessons, you can be very comfortable. It's not the heat that does the healing. So it's OK for the crown of the head to be seen by others when you are in the sauna. You can be fully enclosed and have the fresh air as well. Some take the chair out, and sit on the floor, as well. There is a way to do this where you can be very comfortable and not get to hot. If you can't figure out how to do this, ask us how, and i can elaborate on a way to simply do this. Again, as stated by others, many choose not to duck the head. But it can be done very comfortably. I have been threatening for a long time to write an article on how to be creative using the Relax Sauna. Ask if you want me to do this, and it will be done. return to index How long does it take to heat up to the maximum temperature?In about 30 seconds you are pretty toasty, which would take about 20 minutes in a competitive sauna to feel that good. In about 2-5 minutes, you feel pretty warm, and you are pretty much very close to maximum temperature. It appears that the temperature controlled semi-conductor chips keep the temperature pretty steady. Usually after about 22 minutes it gets a little hot. At that time, you can simply unzip the zipper, and let the heat out, and either zip it up, or let it be slightly open, and you can be at a pretty good comfortable temperature. One person suggests that it reaches maximum temperature in 1-2 minutes, and they may very well be right. Many doctors and others love the INSTANT-ON aspect of the Relax Sauna. return to index Are chair legs made of plastic? Fabric also says polyurethane. Isn't it unhealthy to heat plastic, esp up to 150 degrees inside the sauna? The Chair in
made of 100% nylon (the fabric) and stainless
steel. It is noteworthy to mention that I have
never seen another portable sit-up sauna that
did NOT have a tri-fold display of 20-25 square
feet of corrugated plastic. This is one of the
reasons why thousands of holistic doctors
recommend the Relax Sauna, and DO NOT recommend
any of the other portable saunas. More
importantly, the amount of Far Infrared Energy
generated by the Relax Sauna semi-conductor chip
technology - generates about 10 times more Far
infrared energy than any other portable sauna.
(i.e. 10 grams of Vitamin C may be effective to
remedy a problem, but a gram may not be enough
to make an impact.) Hence the Relax Sauna gets
results where other saunas, although beneficial,
do not get the same results. We were at a show,
and one lady, who has had peripheral neuropathy
(lack of feelings in her fingers and toes) sat
in the relax sauna. In 12 minutes she had
feeling in her toes and fingers for the first
time in 2 1/2 years. She purchased the Relax
Sauna from us. Sadly, she had been using another
portable sauna for over a year, and for as much
as an hour, and never was able to get any relief
of her peripheral neuropathy. What is the complete fabric content according to the
label and product info?
