auna rocks for an electric heater should be approximately 1˝ – 3 inch in diameter. They should be rocks specially intended for use in a sauna heater and recommended by the electric heater manufacturer. They need not be light, porous ceramic or soft rocks as they may overheat and split and the resistance may be broken. Popular sauna stones are peridotite and olivine, both available at sauna supply stores.

With first time use, rock dust should be washed off before piling the rocks. They should not be piled too closely together, so the air may freely flow through the rock spaces. Keep in mind that the smaller rocks should be towards the top. It is advisable that when the heater is being used for the very first time that you leave the sauna door open to allow any smell to escape. 

It is usually recommended that rocks be repositioned and stacked twice a year, and all 'soft' rocks be discarded. Depending on the frequency of use, the rocks should be totally replaced with new ones every 2-3 years.

Throwing Water on 
Heated Stones

The bather should throw water on the rocks using a timber ladle. The frequency depends on the bather’s personal preferences. The water has the effect of increasing the humidity on the bather’s skin and humid air is easier to breath than dry hot air and the humidity will also increase the body sweat.

Care needs to be taken with throwing water on the rocks, that the hot steam does not burn anyone seated near the heater. 

It is important to note that only clean household water should be thrown on the rocks. Don't put too much water on the heater. “Throw water onto the stones, one to three ladles are enough at a time. After a couple of minutes you can throw little water again.” 

For obvious safety reasons it's advisable never to use a sauna without control over the temperature and/or time.
