The HUUM CORE Alder is a HUUM electric sauna heater made in Estonia, 6.5 kW, about 177–566 cu ft (same 6.5 kW CORE family as CORE Black in our catalog). CORE is the 6.5 kW cube you can recess into a bench. Alder wood side panels. UKU runs it. Same 6.5 kW family across the finishes we list.
How it heats
Electric elements inside a stone cage. You need a HUUM UKU (or compatible) control — there are no dials on the heater. Round stones are what HUUM recommends. Licensed electrician, heat-resistant cable, no guessed breaker size from us. Glass and masonry: add equivalent volume when you size kW.

Match heater kW to insulated interior volume. Glass, stone, tile, or thin walls need more heater than a tight wood room of the same size. A licensed electrician completes the hookup from the nameplate — we do not guess breaker size. Email hello@selfcaresaunas.com to size the room first.
