Maxxus Alpine 3-Person Low EMF FAR Infrared Sauna

Understanding Infrared Sauna Technology

 

 

Whether you're new to infrared saunas or looking to upgrade, understanding the differences in heat sources and technology can help you make the best decision for your wellness routine. Here’s a quick guide to the most commonly used infrared terms and components:

 

 

🌡️ FAR Infrared Technology (FIR)

 

 

FAR infrared is a type of radiant heat that gently warms the body directly rather than heating the air around you. Operating at lower ambient temperatures (typically up to 120°F), it allows for a more breathable and extended sauna session. FAR infrared is known for creating a deep, comfortable warmth that many users find relaxing and restorative.

 

 

🧲 Low EMF FAR Infrared

 

 

Low EMF (Electromagnetic Field) saunas are designed with specially engineered heating panels to minimize electromagnetic exposure during use. These models prioritize peace of mind by reducing unnecessary EMF output while maintaining the effectiveness of FAR infrared heat.

 

 

🌈 Full Spectrum Infrared

 

 

Full Spectrum saunas combine three types of infrared wavelengths—Near, Mid, and Far—to offer a versatile heat experience:

 

 

Near Infrared (NIR): Operates at higher temperatures and is often associated with surface-level warmth.

 

 

• Mid Infrared (MIR): Penetrates deeper than NIR and is ideal for balanced warmth and comfort.

 

 

• Far Infrared (FIR): Delivers the deepest heat for prolonged, calming sessions.

 

 

Together, Full Spectrum setups offer a broader range of warmth for a customizable and multi-level experience.

 

 

 

💡 Near Zero EMF Infrared

 

 

"Near Zero EMF" refers to ultra-low electromagnetic output—typically approaching background levels—offered in select premium infrared sauna models. These heating panels are ideal for customers seeking the most advanced levels of EMF reduction while enjoying consistent infrared warmth.

 

 

 

About The Heaters

 

 

 

🔲 Carbon Heating Panels

 

 

Carbon fiber heaters are flat, lightweight, and emit infrared heat over a larger surface area. Benefits of carbon panels include:

 

 

• Even heat distribution

• Energy efficiency

• Long life span

• Quick warm-up times

 

They’re often used in walls, floors, and backrests to surround the user with consistent warmth.

 

 

 

🔳 Ceramic Heating Elements

 

 

Ceramic heaters are tubular elements that heat up quickly and reach higher surface temperatures than carbon panels. They are:

 

 

• Ideal for more intense, directional heat

• Often used in combination with carbon in Dual Tech models

• Great for spot-targeting specific areas of the body

 

 

Ceramic heaters deliver a more concentrated warmth and are often preferred for shorter, high-heat sessions.

 

 

🔀 Dual Technology (Carbon + Ceramic)

 

 

Some models combine carbon and ceramic heating elements to offer both broad and targeted heat delivery. These “Dual Tech” saunas are designed for users who want a balanced infrared experience—featuring fast heat-up times, strong coverage, and directional warmth.
