What Does MrSteam Offer for a Home Steam Shower?
Published
Summary
MrSteam makes residential steam-shower equipment rather than traditional dry saunas. Its lineup includes generators, controls, steamheads, bundled steam packages, and accessories used around the steam system. Homeowners can buy components one at a time or choose one of seven packages, but only the Steam@Home package includes a generator. The generators are grouped by room volume, up to 964 cubic feet.
The generator is the starting point
MrSteam groups its generators by total room volume: the MS90-400 for up to 257 cubic feet, the MSSUPER 1-3 for 258 to 482, and the MAX generators for 483 to 964. It says all MS generators work with all MrSteam controls.
The generators share a 60-minute automatic cut-off, and MrSteam says a steam session uses less than two gallons of water.
Controls range from simple to more integrated
MrSteam's product page lists four controls: iSteamX, TempoFlex, iTempo, and TempoTouch. TempoTouch sets on/off and temperature with a touch or swipe, TempoFlex is a wireless control that can be mounted almost anywhere, and iSteamX can also run other bathroom electric devices through the SpaNet Hub.
Phone control comes through SteamLinx, which starts the steam shower from the app or Amazon Alexa and works with MS generators with serial numbers 1174000 and higher.
Steamheads and accessories are part of the system
Steamheads come in three styles: AromaSteam with an aromatherapy reservoir in 13 finishes, the solid-brass Aroma Designer Finish, and a low-profile Linear head that sets flush with the wall. Accessories include AutoFlush, a drip pan against leaks, wall-mounted or freestanding seats, and a recessed LED light built for heat and moisture.
Packages can make the first purchase easier to understand
Steam@Home is aimed at starter homes, urban living, and guest baths, and pairs the S@H generator with the SteamStart control and an Aroma Designer Finish steamhead. The Butler packages combine a control and steamhead with AutoFlush and a drip or condensation pan: the iTempo control in Basic Butler and iSteamX in xButler.
Every package except Steam@Home still needs a generator sized to the room, and none of them covers the enclosure work: waterproofing, glass, plumbing, electrical work, and drainage.
Who is the range best suited to?
MrSteam fits a homeowner planning a dedicated steam shower who wants to choose among several control and package levels.
Warranty terms differ by product: MrSteam generators carry a limited lifetime warranty, while Steam@Home has a limited one-year warranty.
