For larger cabins, step up to the Virta 8 / 9 / 10.5 kW sibling product. Xenio CX + Fenix Upgrade, What's the Difference? Tier 2 ("Virta Heater + Control + Stones") bundles the Harvia Xenio CX Smart Control power unit (auto-matched to kW: CX30 for the 6 kW Virta, CX45 for the 8 / 9 / 10.5 kW Virta). The Xenio CX ships with WiFi built in and connects to the MyHarvia smartphone app for remote start and scheduling. Tier 3 ("Virta Heater + Control + Stones + Fenix Upgrade") adds the Harvia Fenix FX004XW Touchscreen Display on top of the Xenio CX, Harvia's next-generation control UI, for the longest-runway platform investment as Harvia eventually transitions from the Xenio control panel to the Fenix touchscreen across the product line. Sauna Stones Every "Heater + Control + Stones" package (and the Fenix Upgrade tier) ships with the correct quantity of Harvia AC3020 sauna stones, olivine diabase, 10–15 cm size grade, 20 kg (44 lb) per box. The larger 10–15 cm grade is preferred for Virta because the heater's tall vertical stone bed packs more efficiently with bigger stones, and the larger thermal mass holds heat longer through repeated water throws. Stone quantity by kW: 3 boxes (6 / 8 / 9 kW), 4 boxes (10.5 kW). Installation & Electrical Requirements The Virta 6 kW requires a dedicated 240V 1-Phase circuit (25 Amps, 10 Gauge Copper) wired by a licensed electrician. Virta is UL Listed and must be installed per the included manual.

The Virta delivers Harvia's signature soft, even löyly across a wide range of cabin volumes from 200 cu ft up to roughly 650 cu ft on the 10.5 kW residential variant. Every Virta requires an external Harvia Xenio Smart Control power unit (CX30 for 6 kW; CX45 for 8 / 9 / 10.5 kW), the controller ships separately and mounts outside the sauna cabin. The optional Fenix Upgrade swaps the Xenio's standard control panel for Harvia's next-generation FX004XW touchscreen. For commercial-grade output beyond 10.5 kW, see the Virta Pro 16 kW (HL16U1) and 20 kW (HL20U3) sibling line, sold separately.
