A "Second Breath" (or second wind) ventilation system is an auxiliary comfort device in a sauna that channels fresh, cool outdoor air directly into the bather's breathing zone—usually terminating in a specialized headrest or pillow on the bench—rather than functioning as a whole-room air exchange.
How It Works & Components:
Targeted Air Delivery: Unlike standard intake/exhaust vents that manage room-wide thermodynamics, a second breath kit feeds fresh oxygen directly to your face while you lie down.
Kit Layout: It typically uses an exterior wall intake grille, stainless steel or heat-safe ducting, a tee-joint with a condensation/debris drain or plug, and a bench-mounted diffuser fixture.
Not a Substitute: It does not replace standard room ventilation (the main low/high air-exchange layout required to remove carbon dioxide and dry the room).
Coexistence: It should be installed underneath or integrated into the main bench framing, drawing air from a clean exterior source so you avoid breathing stagnant or super-heated stratified air during intense löyly (steam) sessions.PLEASE NOTE: ONLY STAINLESS STEEL SET IS SOLD AS SEEN IN IMAGE NUMBER ONE, NO OTHER ACCESSORIES INCLUDED.
