Is it ok to pour water on the sauna stones?
Yes, it is. Just make sure the stones are hot before pouring water on them.
What kind of sauna stones should be used?
There are several different stone types. We recommend olivine diabase or vulcanite stones. Small stones 5-10cm are good for electrical saun aheaters, and the 10-15cm stones are good for wood-burning sauna stoves.
How often should the stones be changed?
It really depends on the usage. If sauna is used 1-2 times per week, it would be good to change them once a year. Try picking up two stones and knock them on each other; if they crack, they should definitely be replaced.
