HaloSauna and HaloSauna PRO combine dry salt equipment with far-infrared heating inside a purpose-designed cabin. For a spa, resort, gym or dedicated home wellness room, the key differences to check are capacity, controls, external dimensions and the practical installation requirements—not simply which model carries the PRO name.
This comparison uses the configurations currently listed by SimWellness. Ask for the latest manufacturer datasheet, selected electrical load and written equipment list before you approve a project. We do not make medical treatment claims for salt or infrared equipment.
What the two ranges have in common
Both HaloSauna and HaloSauna PRO combine dry salt and far-infrared heating. Their listed operating modes include salt only, heated salt, infrared only and a combined salt-and-infrared setting.
That makes them different from a typical infrared sauna with decorative salt panels. To provide active dry-salt aerosol, a cabin needs suitable equipment and controls. Confirm the exact halogenerator, controller and accessories included in the selected model.
Capacity and dimensions
| Size | HaloSauna | HaloSauna PRO |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Person | 47 W × 48 D × 77 H in | 47 W × 48 D × 76 H in |
| 2 Person | 52 W × 48 D × 77 H in | 55 W × 48 D × 76 H in |
| 3 Person | 71 W × 48 D × 77 H in | 71 W × 48 D × 76 H in |
| 4 Person | Not listed in current SimWellness variants | 85 W × 85 D × 85 H in |
Measurements above are external dimensions listed for the products and exclude any access clearance. Both ranges require careful consideration of halogenerator servicing. The current HaloSauna listing specifies additional left-side access; confirm the appropriate clearance for the exact PRO configuration too.
When the standard HaloSauna may fit better
The original HaloSauna is listed in one-, two- and three-person sizes. A smaller configuration can be worth considering when your usable area is limited, or when a venue intends to offer private or two-person sessions rather than larger group bookings.
Review the room, traffic flow and clear access alongside any furniture. A cabin's occupant rating is not the same as how many people can comfortably circulate around the unit in a narrow treatment room.
When HaloSauna PRO is worth considering
The HaloSauna PRO extends the current SimWellness listed capacity range to four people and has model-dependent cabin sizing. Its product details describe updated controls, inside and outside keypads, lighting and a salt-level indicator.
Those features can matter operationally in a commercial setting, but require model-level confirmation. Ask whether the particular controls, apps and optional features are included in your selected variant rather than assuming every PRO feature is standard across all sizes. The manufacturer also describes accessibility options for certain configurations; request detailed drawings and confirm local requirements before representing any unit as compliant with accessibility standards.
Electrical and installation planning
Saunas should never be ordered solely on dimensions. Confirm the selected heater count, combined wattage, voltage and amperage with the manufacturer and a qualified electrician. The catalogue references heater wattages, but the complete electrical load depends on the model and equipment fitted.
Before delivery, review doorways, stairs, lifts, floor loading, final site position and clearance for the halogenerator. Ask what arrives assembled, whether installation or commissioning is included, and who is responsible for any electrical work. These details are especially important for hotels, gyms and busy spa facilities.
Questions that affect long-term ownership
- Daily schedule: Is the unit designed for your expected number of sessions and between-session turnaround?
- Cleaning: What procedures apply to salt equipment, cabin surfaces and heaters?
- Consumables: Which salt products are approved, and what are the expected operating costs?
- Service: How are the halogenerator and heater systems accessed and maintained?
- Warranty: Are cabin, heaters, controls and the halogenerator covered under different written terms?
- Delivery: Are freight, placement, assembly and any installation services included in the quoted arrangement?
Which should you buy?
Choose the standard model when its capacity, features and installed footprint meet the intended use. Compare PRO when you need its particular capacity or control features, but confirm that they add practical value to your venue.

Frequently asked questions
Does HaloSauna PRO always include more capacity?
No. Both ranges offer several capacities. The distinction is in the available models and selected specifications, with a four-person configuration listed for PRO.
Are the heaters and the salt system the same thing?
No. Infrared heating and dry salt distribution are different systems. Confirm the supplier's operating guidance for each and for combined use.
Can I assume a four-person unit fits an accessible space?
No. Accessibility depends on clearances, doors, interior circulation, access route and applicable rules. Request drawings and assess the actual location.
