Steam Bath Generator (Sizing and Selection)
Measure the length, width and height (in feet) of the steam shower. Multiply
the three measurements together to get the basic volume in cubic feet.

Example:
A ceramic steam shower with the demensions 7ft
length by 5ft wide and 7ft high (7ft x 5ft x 7ft =
245), is 245 Cubic feet.
Since the steam shower has ceramic wall finishes,
it then requires a 25% cubic footage increase.
(Ceramic tile) 25% x (steam shower) 245 =
61.25 ft
The wall finish cubic feet is then added to the
origin dimensions to calculate the total cubic,
which in this case is 306.25 ft.
(ceramic tile) 61.25 + (steam shower) 245 =
306.25 ft
Now select the next size of Steamcore model
generator which exceeds the calculated room
cubic feet. This case the KWS (9000 watts)
generator is required. If there is doubt in size, it is
recommended to choose the next larger size.
