Product Overview
Designed for smaller home saunas, the Saunum Air 5 pairs a traditional stone-heater experience with Saunum’s integrated climate-equalizing air system. Saunum’s patented air-mixing system draws hotter air from the upper sauna, blends it with cooler air lower in the room, and recirculates the conditioned air to help create a more even-feeling sauna climate from head to toe.
Choose Closed Basket for a streamlined enclosed appearance or Open Basket for greater visible stone surface.
Why Saunum Is Different
Traditional saunas naturally develop strong temperature stratification, with the hottest air collecting near the ceiling while cooler air settles near the floor. Saunum actively blends these layers to create a more balanced, breathable sauna environment while retaining the rich steam and water-on-stones experience of a traditional sauna.

This package combines the Saunum heater with the AirIQ Wi-Fi control, the required sauna stones, and Himalayan salt spheres, giving you the primary components needed for a coordinated Saunum heating system.
