Harvia Virta Pro 16kW 240V Electric Sauna Heater | HL160E
Harvia Virta Pro 16kW Electric Sauna Heater | HL160E
The Harvia Virta Pro heater provides ample heating power for saunas in spas, hotels and apartment buildings. A ladle of water sprinkled over the stones generates exhilarating steam. The heating elements are separated from the stones, resulting in a long lifespan. If you need to replace a heating element, you can quickly and easily pull out the entire heating element module. The heater pairs with a digital controller that can be mounted outside of the sauna and preset up to 12 hours in advance. The clear touch digital control panel is easily installed and allows you to set your desired temperature. Thanks to its strong construction, heating elements divided into two groups and exceptionally easy maintenance, the Virta Pro heater is an excellent choice for heavy duty use.
The Virta heater comes in six sizes to heat any sauna: 6kW, 8kW, 9kW, 10.5kW, 16kW, and 20kW.
