Harvia Cilindro PC90 Electric Sauna Heater 9kW

The Harvia Cilindro PC90 is a high-performance 9kW electric sauna heater engineered for residential sauna environments. Its distinctive tall, cylindrical stainless steel design serves as a centerpiece for any sauna, combining aesthetic appeal with functional excellence. By accommodating a large volume of sauna stones, this heater ensures a steady, even heat distribution and produces soft, pleasant steam that enhances the traditional Finnish sauna experience.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Harvia Cilindro PC90 lies in its ability to provide a versatile sauna experience. The large stone capacity allows users to adjust the intensity of the steam by throwing water either onto the side of the heater for a milder effect or directly onto the top for a more intense burst of steam. Its robust stainless steel construction ensures durability and longevity, while the floor-mounted design provides stability and efficient heat circulation throughout the sauna room.

Suitable for

• Residential saunas requiring a 9kW heating capacity
• Sauna enthusiasts seeking a traditional Finnish steam experience
• Sauna rooms where a floor-mounted heater is preferred for design and safety

This heater may not be suitable for very small sauna rooms where a 9kW output would exceed the recommended heating capacity, potentially leading to overheating. It is also not intended for commercial use in high-traffic public facilities where continuous operation requirements differ from residential standards.

Key specifications

• Power output: 9kW
• Design: Floor-mounted cylindrical unit
• Material: Stainless steel
• Stone capacity: Large volume for consistent heat
• Control: External or integrated control options depending on the specific model configuration

How to use

The heater should be installed on a level floor surface within the sauna room, ensuring all safety clearances from combustible materials are strictly maintained as specified in the installation manual. Once installed, the sauna stones must be carefully placed between the heating elements without packing them too tightly to allow for proper air circulation. The heater is operated via a control unit, which allows the user to set the desired temperature and duration of the heating cycle. Before the first use, it is recommended to heat the unit in a well-ventilated area to burn off any manufacturing residues.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your sauna room volume is compatible with a 9kW heater
• Verify that your electrical system supports the power requirements of a 9kW unit
• Check the required safety distances from walls and benches
• Confirm if a separate control unit is required for your specific installation

Usage recommendations

For the best experience, use high-quality, rounded sauna stones specifically designed for electric heaters. Regularly check the condition of the stones and replace them annually or as needed to maintain optimal heat storage and steam production.
