Not sure If this is the right forumfor this so apologize in advance. I am building a new house and the shower in the master is 5x5 with a 9 foot ceiling and tile on the wall. Based on the calcs on many of the web sites which sugget you upsize one unit, the steam unit generator I should be getting should be 350 sq feet. The plumbing supplier we are using suggested a Thermasol unit. Turns out the amperage rating of the 350 is about 56 amps whereas the amperage rating of the comparably sized Mr Steam unit is only about 36 (Saunacore, another brand is also only about 35 for the same sized unit). I guess my question is whether anyone has any thoughts as to the quality difference between Thermasol and Mr Steam for a home shower steam generator, but possibly more importantly, whether anyone can suggest why the amperage rating is so different and whether using a steam shower generator that uses 56 amps (when the entire house is only 200 amp service) might be a problem.
Thanx in advance.
