Hey guys, I wanted to shoot an impromptu iPhone video for you here.
I am setting up a new sauna today for testing and I wanted to show you guys an observation.
Let me shut these off because these are incredibly annoying.
So actually before I shut all of them off, this one is the most inaccurate anyway, nobody should be using that meter.
By the way, a lot of people, you should be very leery and you should definitely do your due diligence when you see anyone posting a review video of infrared sauna EMF levels with just a tri-field meter and only having experience testing the sauna that they’ve personally bought, which is just one or two, and don’t have any extensive experience or multiple meters to fact check what they’re posting online.
It would appear that this sauna has a 4-5 mGy magnetic field.
This is by far the most accurate magnetic field meter, it’s a tri-field UHS-II by Alphalabs.
This is okay, it’s an updated tri-field TF2, we’ll shut that off because it’s annoying.
This is a GHz solution, so we’ve got about 500 nT, which is about 5 mGy.
So I’m going to go ahead and shut these off.
The reason for me making this video is because I see tons of people paying attention to online reviews with nothing more than a person going into a sauna and showing them EMF levels from a tri-field meter.
There’s tons of problems with that.
The first problem is this particular meter cannot filter out dirty electricity or electric fields or other types of interference from magnetic fields.
So you might get partially inflated levels.
Yes, there is a presence of some type of EMF, which is beneficial, but it’s impossible to track down what the source of the EMF is with just a meter like this.
So I would strongly urge you, the intention of the video is I would strongly urge you to be very weary of following online reviews, especially Facebook groups, Amazon reviews, anything like that, where there’s just a person who bought a sauna and they expected something and then you see them posting reviews of a tri-field meter, you know, EMF level.
Yes, it’s probably not a good sauna for you to buy.
There is some type of EMF level in there, but no, that is not a person or persons or you know, group or forum or whatever that you would want to pay attention to, to try and quantify what’s a safe sauna, what’s a good sauna, what’s not a good sauna.
And I’m going to show you why here in a second.
So it would appear that this sauna has a magnetic field in it of four to five milligauss, like I showed you before.
However, and this is on the bench.
So when we sit down on the sauna, you know, we’re sitting right next to this and it would appear that it has, you know, magnetic fields.
And you see videos like this from people, you know, all the time where a building biologist will go in and do an EMF assessment of someone’s sauna.
And they say that you should sit on the opposite side of the bench because the magnetic fields are lower.
But they don’t actually investigate, even though the heaters themselves or the wiring is not actually producing the EMF levels that they’re saying, you know, they just say that one side is better or one side is high.
Now I’m going to do a couple of things here and I’m going to show you what the real cause of this magnetic field is.
I’m going to shut the power off.
I may have to stop the video for a second in order to, um, in order to do all of this because I can’t hold the camera, but I promise nothing.
There’s no tomfoolery here.
There’s, there’s nothing that the pull the wool over your eyes and the meters don’t lie.
I mean, we’ve got meters for everything.
I just wanted to make a little bit of a, an impromptu educational video.
And I’m going to give you a little hint before I actually move the sauna.
I don’t know if you can see back there, but let me take you around the back and show you what’s really going on.
So I’ve moved the sauna out away from the wall.
I haven’t changed anything else yet.
What I’m going to do is going to unplug this, drag the power cord around to the front.
I’ve got a special power strip here that’s modified.
It’s been customized with new cable and a couple other things.
There are no electric fields or magnetic fields in this power supply.
That’s why you use it.
Um, it is a mitigated unit.
And now we’re going to go back in the sauna.
It’s the only thing that we’ve changed.
Let me turn the lights on.
And this has nothing to do with this sauna in particular.
It only has to do with the way it’s set up and so on and so forth.
This could happen with any sauna.
So the next thing we’re going to do is we didn’t move the meters, but we’re going to turn them back on.
And we’re going to turn this guy back on, this guy back on, and that guy back on.
So now we’re in the exact same sauna.
We’ll let it heat up so that you know that there’s nothing, nothing weird going on.
We’ve got the, I don’t know if you guys can see that, but the indicator light is on for the heaters.
The meters haven’t been moved.
That’s the same sauna.
The only thing that’s different is we’re not using the outlet that’s right next to the sauna and the sauna has been moved out from the wall a little bit.
So now when we go back in and check, we’ve got everything under one milligauss across the board.
And so you can see that it’s not the wiring in the walls of the sauna.
It’s not the power supply and it’s not the heaters that are producing the EMF.
It is the supply cord or the outlet or whatever.
Now you could check that, you know, we can, to be fair, we could check this and say, okay, that’s got some EMF levels.
To be fair, you could say that the sauna company should be using a Moo cable power cord like I have here because that’s why we use this.
You can see how steep the falloff rate is.
Same thing here.
So the point of this is you can’t blindly trust somebody with a Tri-Field meter that just goes in a sauna and you know, it goes to one side and says it’s got higher EMFs than the other.
And then, you know, tries to say that, you know, a sauna performs one way or the other without really investigating and seeing what’s going on.
So that’s how easy it is to screw things up.
And I could see somebody, you know, posting a review online with this meter, you know, we could go in there and show you the same exact thing.
If I can get back here, sorry guys, this is going to be a little bit tight.
So we can go back towards the outlet, you know, with the same exact meter and you can see that there’s three, four milligauss registering on there.
I’m sorry I can’t hold it in the same spot, but just to give you an example, and this is stuff you want to look out for.
You want to be very weary of online reviews of infrared sauna levels.
Now Tri-Field Meter is great for knowing if there’s EMF present and then knowing when it’s gone.
But you really don’t want to make a $5,000 purchase decision based off of something like that.
So just a quick tip to be very mindful of how things are set up and of people that are taking levels and posting reviews online that really aren’t exactly sure what they’re doing.
