Steamist (Delta SteamScape) Saunas

Steamist is the other legacy American steam name — now also sold under Delta's SteamScape branding after acquisition, a detail worth knowing when comparing listings — and the SM Plus SMP-7 is its 7.5kW mid-size generator at about $2,600. The engineering pitch is SteadySteam, which modulates output to hold your set temperature instead of the blast-and-coast cycling cheaper generators do, plus a stainless tank and a sub-gallon water draw per 20-minute session. Plumbers and owners rate the brand's reliability alongside Mr.Steam, with the choice often coming down to which controls ecosystem (TotalSense vs. iSteam) and which dealer you like. All the steam-category realities apply: the enclosure build is the real project and the real budget, hard water is the enemy, and r/Sauna will remind you — accurately — that a steam shower is a different pleasure than sauna, not a substitute.
