Sauna Repairs 

In August, the sauna’s heating element was damaged by water. Replacement parts arrive in early October. Remember it’s a “dry sauna”—please don’t pour water on the heating element.  

Indoor Pool HVAC  

Our indoor pool HVAC faced challenges this summer with a control board failure in late June, leading to a 15+ week wait for parts due to supply chain issues. We apologize for any inconvenience and anticipate repairs this fall.
