If you are installing the unit or thinking of adding one on your next project,
you will need to make sure the unit is sized properly.
Calculate the shower area
(Length x Width x Height = Cubic Feet)
and conrm the ceiling height does not exceed 8 feet.
The set of numbers in the generator model number
represents the maximum capacity.
Example: Generator model SSA-240
will be sufcient up to 240 cubic feet
(with a ceiling not exceeding 8 feet in height).
Up-size 1 Unit size for every foot over 8 foot to
a maximum of 10 foot.
Model number can be found on the box or generator.
ThermaSol’s generators can be placed up to 50 feet from the
shower; in an attic, closet or below a sink are ideal locations.
Make sure the walls, ceiling and oor materials are suitable for
use with steam. If using acrylic walls, they must be steam rated
from their manufacturer. ThermaSol only recommends SSA-ACR
generator for acrylic modules.
