Warning: Make sure you have a 7, 8, or 9 foot ceiling you are aware of what can happen if you undersize or oversize.
Thermasol is a pressurized steam generator (not atmospheric). If you oversize and too much comes out, you don’t want extra steam that forms into condensate too quick. That extra half gallon of steam in during the session can actually produce too much latent heat and trip the thermostat from making more steam as the room is too hot from latent heat from too much steam at once.
I also try to avoid steam traps. If too much steam comes out at once (fast burn), all the heat stays at the ceiling, especially with ceilings over 7 foot tall. The sweet spot (thermocline) to be at so most people don’t get into cardiac drift (when you heart starts to beat too
fast,
and you want to leave the steam room to cool down). This is not a duty cycle type (like Mr. Steam where it is a single tank (this is a dual tank). If you like to stay in 20 to 25 minutes or you like to stay in a half hour to up to an hour, this is a decision people should make before choosing.
Most people like to have their head at a
114 degree
thermocline at the most. If it is hotter, just say 118 to 120 degrees, it is hard to breath for many people. Also, if the ceiling is 7 foot and it is oversized it will push the thermocline down. If 8 foot, then the thermocline is pushed up a foot and your head will usually be at less than 114 degrees and it can take about 45 minutes to an hour because the steam is too mild to heat up the core of the body.
Note: if their is too much latent heat, you may need to get a hose to cool down the walls a few times during the steam session. The steam cloud density in the steam room will become less when the wall temperature gets closer to the room temperature. Most people don’t like to hose it down when relaxing.
Note: for people that have very tiny steam rooms, if it is a 20 psi steam generator, it can blow too hard and burn your feet. Many people don’t like to lift up their knees each time the steam comes on. A slow burn or lower psi may be prevent this problem.  A steam cover can help also.
Note: Avoiding steam dripping from the ceiling. Slanting the ceiling helps but if it is too high of a fast burn steam, it can heat up the ceiling too high and you can still get drippings during the steam session. The more steam that is trapped at the ceiling, the less you can feel the steam in the lower thermoclines (leg and feet area). I like to use a marine grade fan suction cupped on the walls to bring the steam down from the ceiling (full body steam therapy, not just upper torso steam bathing). Also, for those looking or a shorter session and don’t want to be in for an hour, the fan makes a huge difference. Make sure its a marine grade 12 volt dc fan. I like the Kona.
Note: if the steam has too high of a heat co-efficient (it will make it hard to breath. It’s the type that you can’t even lean your back against the wall. This is the uncomfortable type of steam I refer to. It is not enjoyable.
I urge people to get a hygrometer (they are around 25 dollars for a good one). If you finally install your generator and the thermocline is way far off from the 110 to 114 sweet spot range at the body level, you may have a different experience than what you were expecting, especially if you have gone to day spas where they are usually at this range. If you get the wrong size, it will feel similar to a steam room where people keep opening the door coming in and out. With an 8 foot ceiling, 20% of the steam will be a foot higher.  With a 9 foot, 40% of the steam can be trapped at the ceiling.  And another thing, if you have ceramic or any porous tiles, this can absorb heat and steam and now it’s even more difficult to size it just right.
When someone needs help sizing, I have a check list that is way more advanced than just asking someone what their cubic foot size is. My goal is to keep the steam room at the same temperature usually within 6 degrees. Most people like continous steam unless they are elderly and need a few minutes break between steam cycles.
I also try to make sure the ceiling temperature and floor temperature are closer. If they are too far apart it adds to a lower quality experience.  Based on consulting with someone after asking all my questions I can rate the experience from A+ to a C. If someone has a 9 foot ceiling and just say natural stone or whatever and I know its going to be a D- experience, I will tell them.  Most people get a B to B+ experience, especially those that have ceramic or porcelain and an 8 foot ceiling. With a 7 foot ceiling and you size it right and it is not too high of a fast burn, you can easily become an A experience. Using the Kona should always bring it up by a point. So, if you have a b+ steam room, the fan would bring it up to an A+ room. It is rare for anyone with an 8 foot or over room to have an A+ room without a fan.
If you are in the middle of two sizes, it is very easy to undersize or oversize. For those that have higher ceilings than 7 foot and think they need to oversize to compensate for the high ceiling, it is better to get the fan than to oversize. This is the biggest mistake people make.
