Description

What is the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls?

The Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls (PC60, PC80 and PC90) is a floor-standing electric sauna heater with a timer knob and a thermostat knob on its lower front, so it needs no separate control. It is a stainless-steel pillar, partially open at the front, that holds its stones around the heating elements, comes in 6, 8 and 9 kW for sauna rooms of 141 to 494 cu ft on 240 V single-phase power, and holds a 200 lb stone load.

How do the built-in controls on the Harvia Cilindro Half work?

The Harvia Cilindro Half's timer knob switches the heater on for up to 1 hour, or, turned into its pre-setting section, delays the start by 0 to 8 hours, after which the heater runs for an hour. The thermostat knob holds the sauna at the temperature you choose; it is marked from min to max, and Harvia prints no temperature scale for it. There is no Wi-Fi and no app connection; for that, see the Harvia Cilindro Half with separate control.

Specifications

Which Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls fits my sauna?

Choose the Harvia Cilindro Half by the volume of your sauna room. Harvia's Cilindro manual gives each output's range for a well-insulated room lined with wood panel. Brick, glass-block and plaster walls must be insulated, and a log sauna's volume is multiplied by 1.5. For glass, Harvia's newer heater manuals add 1.2 m³ for every square meter, about 3.9 cu ft per sq ft, and count a glass door.

Installation

How is the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls installed?

The Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls stands on the floor on adjustable legs, beside a side wall or in a corner, and is fixed to the wall with the supplied wall-mounting device and two fixing kits; after the final hookup the electrician screws it to the floor with at least two screws or bolts. Its controls sit on the heater, so there is no power unit or wall panel to place. Harvia's manual says only a licensed electrician may connect it, permanently wired through seal-tight conduit, and a sauna room takes only one electric heater. Your licensed electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the manual that ships with the heater and your local code. Harvia's installation manual, under Documents, gives the exact vent and wiring positions.

Harvia Cilindro Half safety distances

Keep at least these distances between the Harvia Cilindro Half and walls, benches and anything that can burn. Harvia's room guidance also keeps the sauna ceiling no higher than 7 ft 6 in (2,300 mm).

Harvia Cilindro Half, every output (Harvia Cilindro Half built-in manual Y05-0770, §3.2–3.3 and Figures 4 and 5)
Heater side to a side wall or bench side (A)	1.2" (30 mm)
Heater front to the heater fence or bench (B)	4" (100 mm)
Heater fence	Required by Harvia: softwood, fixed to the wall, at least 4" (100 mm) in front of the heater and at least 32" high, with its top at least 1" below the top of the heater; built on site, not in the box
Floor to the underside of the heater	At least 2.8" (70 mm)
Floor under and near the heater	Heat-resistant; Harvia advises dark grout and stone floor coverings there

Harvia Cilindro Half ceiling distance and room height (Harvia Cilindro Half built-in manual Y05-0770, Table 2 and Figure 5)
Top of the heater to the ceiling (C)	35" (890 mm)
Sauna room height, minimum	75" (1,900 mm)

Harvia Cilindro Half built-in manual, Figure 5: minimum safety distances A, B and C and the floor clearance

Does the sauna room need ventilation?

Yes. Harvia's Cilindro manual calls for an adjustable supply vent near the floor close to the heater and an exhaust vent, on the opposite wall where possible, for about five air changes an hour; the manual gives their positions, and local code may ask for more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes with the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls, and what else does it need?

The Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls ships as the heater with its timer and thermostat knobs and top safety grid, a wall-mounting device, two fixing kits, metal caution and warning signs, and Harvia's manual. It needs no separate control, but it does need five 44 lb boxes of Harvia AC3000 2–4 in split-face stones for its 200 lb stone load, a circuit installed by a licensed electrician, and a softwood heater fence, which Harvia's manual requires. Topture sells the stones and the HPC3 and HPCU3L safety railings separately.

How do the built-in controls on the Harvia Cilindro Half work?

The Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls has two knobs on its lower front: a timer and a thermostat. Turning the timer to its on section starts the heater for up to 1 hour; turning it into the pre-setting section delays the start by 0 to 8 hours, after which the heater runs for an hour. The thermostat knob holds the temperature you choose and is marked only from min to max, so Harvia's manual suggests starting at the maximum and turning it down a little if the sauna gets too hot. There is no Wi-Fi or app connection.

What size Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls does my sauna need?

Choose the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls by the volume of the sauna room. Harvia's manual gives 141–294 cu ft for the 6 kW, 141–431 cu ft for the 8 kW and 141–494 cu ft for the 9 kW, for a well-insulated room lined with wood panel and at least 75 in tall. Brick, glass-block and plaster walls must be insulated, and a log sauna's volume is multiplied by 1.5; for glass, Harvia's newer heater manuals add about 3.9 cu ft per sq ft. For a room up to 636 cu ft, the 10.5 kW Cilindro Half with separate control is the larger option.

What electrical supply does the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls need?

The Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls runs on 240 V single-phase power. Harvia's manual lists 25 amps for the 6 kW, 33.4 amps for the 8 kW and 37.5 amps for the 9 kW on one supply circuit, or 16.7, 22.3 and 25 amps per circuit on a two-circuit hookup. Harvia says only a licensed electrician may connect it, permanently wired through seal-tight conduit. Your licensed electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the manual that ships with the heater and your local code.

How is the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls installed?

The Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls stands on the floor on adjustable legs, beside a side wall or in a corner, fixed to the wall with its wall-mounting device and screwed to the floor. Harvia's manual keeps it at least 1.2 in from the side wall, 4 in from the heater fence or bench in front and 35 in below the ceiling, with at least 2.8 in under the heater. The required softwood fence stands at least 32 in high, its top at least 1 in below the heater top. Only one electric heater may go in a sauna room, and there is no control unit to mount.

How long does the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls take to heat up?

The Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls takes about half an hour to bring a properly insulated sauna to bathing temperature when the heater suits the room, according to Harvia's manual, which says to allow at least 30 minutes. The stones reach temperature at the same time as the room. For a sauna ready at a set time, use the timer's 0–8 hour pre-setting section: Harvia's example sets it to two hours for a sauna ready in about two and a half. If the room heats slowly, Harvia says to check that every element glows and to turn the thermostat higher.

How do you load and maintain the stones in a Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls?

The Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls takes a 200 lb stone load of 2–4 in angular split-face stones, which five 44 lb boxes of Harvia AC3000 cover with about 20 lb to spare. Harvia's manual says to wash off the dust, place the stones by hand with a dense layer against the steel grid and the rest loose, never drop them in or wedge them between the elements, and make sure no element shows. Rearrange them at least once a year, replace crumbled ones, and throw only clean tap water, at most 0.05 gal (0.2 L) at a time.

What problems can happen with the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls, and how are they avoided?

Most problems Harvia's manual covers for the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls come down to power, settings, ventilation and stones. If it will not heat, check the breakers, the connection cable, the thermostat setting and the overheat protectors, which can trip below 23°F in storage or transport and are reset once the heater is at about 64°F. Stones that stay cool while the room heats point to an output too high for the room or to poor ventilation. Darkening panels mean short safety distances, elements showing or stones packed too tightly. Odor on the first heatings is normal, and occasional bangs are stones cracking in the heat.

Who makes the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls, and what is it made of?

The Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls is made by Harvia, the Finnish sauna manufacturer, at its heater plant in Muurame, Finland. It is a stainless-steel pillar, partially open at the front so the stones show through a steel grid, with a top safety grid and its timer and thermostat knobs on the lower front. The heater is ETL Listed and conforms to UL 875. Harvia's manual gives 14 in wide, 13 in deep and 40 in high for every output, and 37.5 lb without stones.

What warranty does the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls have?

Harvia's manufacturer warranty covers the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls for 2 years, and Harvia adds a third year when the heater is registered on harvia.com within 30 days of purchase. Its timer and thermostat are part of the heater. Sauna stones are not covered, and Harvia's terms require the heater to be installed by a qualified electrician, with proof of the installation. Harvia US Inc. is the warrantor in North America; Topture is an authorized Harvia retailer and assists with troubleshooting and warranty coordination.

How does the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls compare with the Cilindro Half with separate control?

The Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls is set with two knobs on the heater, while the Cilindro Half with separate control runs from a Xenio or Fenix wall panel, sold separately. Both share the same stainless-steel body, room ranges, amps and 200 lb stone load. The built-in timer runs the heater for an hour and can delay the start by up to 8 hours, with no Wi-Fi; the Xenio sets a temperature from 104 to 194°F, delays a start by up to 12 hours and connects to the MyHarvia app. The separate-control model also comes in 10.5 kW.

Where can you buy the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls from an authorized dealer?

Topture is an authorized Harvia retailer and sells the Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls in 6, 8 and 9 kW, with AC3000 stones and the HPC3 and HPCU3L safety railings as options, alongside the separate-control Cilindro Half and the Cilindro packages with the Xenio control and stones sized for the heater. Topture adds Lifetime Expert Support, help with troubleshooting and warranty coordination, free shipping on orders over $200 within the continental US, financing through Shop Pay Installments at checkout, and a 30-day return window.

What does a Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls cost in total, delivered?

The delivered cost of a Harvia Cilindro Half with built-in controls from Topture is the heater price plus five 44 lb boxes of AC3000 stones; no separate control is needed. Topture has free shipping on orders over $200 within the continental US, so a Cilindro order ships free there. Budget separately for a licensed electrician to run the circuit and for a softwood heater fence, and add a safety railing if you want one. Compare delivered totals, because some listings price the heater without its stones. Financing is available through Shop Pay Installments at checkout.

Orders over $200 ship free within the continental United States. Orders under $200 carry a small shipping fee.

Two exceptions: SaunaLife and ThermaSol products carry a freight charge at any order value, and sauna stones ordered without a heater ship at $60 per box because of their weight.

Every charge is shown at checkout before you pay.

Do you provide financing?

Absolutely! To view your financing offer, simply select Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at Step 3 of checkout.

How long will it take for my items to arrive?

If your order is in stock, most orders ship within 2–7 business days of purchase. Transit time then depends on the distance from the warehouse and, for freight, on booking a delivery appointment.

As soon as you place your order, you'll receive a confirmation email with your order details—be sure to keep it for your records. Once your order ships, you'll receive another email with tracking information.

For freight deliveries, the carrier will call or text you to schedule an appointment once the shipment reaches their local terminal. Someone needs to be there to inspect the shipment and sign for it. Smaller parcels arrive by UPS or FedEx without an appointment.
