Running Costs – Cheaper Than You Might Think

Cost Calculator

Determining the operational costs of our products like Steam Showers, Saunas, and Whirlpool Baths involves a straightforward calculation: the power consumption (in KW or watts) multiplied by the duration of use, then further multiplied by the cost per KW per hour listed in your utility bill.

Let’s simplify:

As per the current information online, the average rate per KW (1000 watts) stands at about £0.25p per hour at the time of writing.

For instance, if a steam shower requires 2.8KW, running it at full power for an hour would cost a maximum of £0.70p.

Calculation: 2.8 KW x £0.25 = £0.70 per hour

It’s essential to note that certain products like steam showers don’t operate continuously; they only generate steam to maintain the desired temperature once it’s reached, reducing the actual cost compared to continuous operation. Similar principles apply to saunas; they won’t consistently run at maximum power.

Now, considering other examples:

The Vidalux 2 Person Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna has a rating of 2300w (2.3KW) with a maximum running cost of £0.57p per hour at the highest setting (2.3 x £0.25).

For the Vidalux 4 Person sauna at 2800w, the maximum hourly cost is only £0.70 per hour use on maximum power

This calculation method can be applied universally—simply multiply the KW or Watts by the average cost per KW per hour.

Comparison-wise:

• Gym membership: £40 per month, along with fuel expenses and travel time.
• The cost of a pint of beer or a glass of wine, or choose between branded face masks or moisturizing creams—the possibilities are endless.

However, the comparison of benefits remains steadfast! For more insights into the health benefits of our products, feel free to explore our blog.
