Which MrSteam SteamShower Control Is Right for You?

When you buy something brand new – a new car, a smart phone, a computer – are you the type of person who reads the instruction manual cover to cover, figuring out all the features to become a super-user?  Do you enjoy taking full advantage of all your various devices?  Or, instead, are you the type of consumer who wants to push a button – a single button, generally – on a device that simply does what you need it to do? The user who just wants something to work, never mind the more complex functionality?

Or, possibly, you fall somewhere in the middle of that spectrum – you enjoy some functionality in your devices, but you only want what you yourself need.

Explore the Full Range of MrSteam Steamshower Controls

MrSteam understands – and offers a full range of steamshower controls that cater to every consumer type. Our top-of-the-line controls push the technology and user experience envelope, making steam bathing a fully personalized experience. Our more basic controls are push-button friendly, giving you the comfort and convenience of stepping into a steam shower without all the bells and whistles.

So how do you know which control is right for you? We want to demystify the process of making the right choice. Starting with the powerful iSteam®3 control, we’ll describe the full range of features and functions, as well as the design attributes of each one. Then, because we realize that some consumers appreciate seeing all of the options laid out for them in a chart, we’ve done that as well, for both the functions and features, as well as the design attributes of the various controls that we offer.

(If you’d like, you can even skip right down to those two charts!)

Brimming with Bells and Whistles – the iSteam^®3

Want it all? The top-of-the-line, revolutionary steam shower control, the iSteam3, delivers unsurpassed swipe touch functionality in a sleek, contemporary package. This is the control to choose if you want absolute control over your steam experience.

One innovation that makes this control unique is the number of languages it “speaks.” All the MrSteam controls use English as their default language, but the iSteam3 is multi-lingual. Our international customers in particular will be pleased to know that they can change the language selection through the “Settings” screen to navigate a German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian or Mandarin interface.

We’re definitely thinking multiple users here: this control stores settings for up to eight different users, delivering the ultimate in customized relaxation and personal choice. These eight individual bathers can pre-start the steam shower by programming the AutoStart feature with their own individual preferred temperature as well as selecting the exact hour and day of the week to get the steam shower warm and ready for them.

Swipe across the white or black display screen mode to control a wide array of features, including steam temperature and duration. In addition, users can set the Steamtherapy “extras” of the AromaSteam aromatic oil injection system, ChromaSteam®3 mood lighting and the in-shower AudioSteam®3 music system. Want to keep settings private? Utilize the passcode protection to ensure that only you can access your personal controls.

As with most MrSteam controls, the iSteam3 comes loaded with a real-time digital clock. It works with the SteamLinx Mobile App, giving you seamless control of essential steam room functionality through your smart phone or mobile device.

You even have the option to make the display screen itself black or white. One more revolutionary feature: The iSteam3 has a special “flip” function which allows the interface to rotate 180 degrees, just in case the control is unintentionally installed upside down!

Powered by replaceable, long-lasting lithium batteries, the AirTempo Control communicates wirelessly, eliminating the time, hassle and expense of running a cable from the control to the generator. Once you decide where to place the control, which can be on tile, granite, marble and even glass surfaces, your installer can put it right where you want with a simple peel and stick application – no cutting holes in the tile, no tools required!

But what’s more, you’ll be able to unlock the AirTempo and use it as a remote control outside of the steam shower.

And if you want it mounted flush to the wall, you can absolutely do that with the optional flush mount kit, also available ion designer finishes. The touch-screen LED comes with a pleasant blue readout against a black or white face.
