BTW, most Japanese baths and hot springs are hotter than the limit (104⁰F/40⁰C) that UL imposes on hot tub heaters for "health" reasons - hot water can allegedly cause strokes, which means that 100 million people daily risk their life... except that life expectancy in Japan is significantly higher than in the US. Thanks, UL.
(And saunas in Germany and Japan (and presumably Finland) are much hotter than in the US and of course they allow löyly, unlike most saunas in the US.
