Mandi saun pake wajan presto
'>There are very nice steam saunas available on the market, but when I searched the Internet for it I saw that I would need to spend a lot of money and knowing that the shipping would need several weeks maybe months, so I looked for another solution, because I felt really bad and my energy was going down more and more. To build the box wouldn't be a problem, but how could the steam be made? After some searching with steam producing tools (steam cleaner and wall paper remover) I found a very simple solution: I used a 5 liter pressure cooker from the kitchen. Where the safety bulb comes out on the top, I connected a hose, the other end of the hose I put through a hole into the steam sauna box. The hose shouldn't be longer than 2m (6 feet) otherwise it is loosing too much heat, even though you wrap insulation around the hose. The outlet of the steam hose should be under the seat. Then through an other hole the hose from the ozone generator enters the box. That's it! A simple gas burner will heat the water up in about 10 minutes, then I let it boil for 10 minutes and also I start the ozone generator. I found an old thermometer from a tractor with a sensor, this tells me the temperature inside the box. If it tells about 45 - 50°C then one can go into the box. The temperature goes down 3-5°C when one opens the door, but goes up again in a few minutes. It is good to have a clock nearby. The seat in the box should have the exact high for the person using it, otherwise it will be not comfortable, as the head is outside and with a towel around the neck so that no steam and ozone escapes. When you take the steam sauna, then there should be always a person near. It might be that you get thirsty or a fly insist to sit on your nose... Well, more important is that there is the right temperature and if it gets too hot then there should be somebody turning down the heater. It might be possible to make a hole on one side of the box to be able to reach out to regulate the cooker, but in my case the cooker stands in another room, so this is not possible.
