Bath broom
It is impossible to imagine a real Russian bathhouse without a broom. It can be made from a wide variety of plant types; birch, oak, linden, and juniper brooms are popular.
Different types of brooms provide different healing effects. For example, juniper will be a good preventative against colds, wormwood will help relieve stress, bamboo strengthens blood vessels, eucalyptus improves skin condition. Try different types of brooms or make mixed bouquets to feel their effect.
Making a broom with your own hands is not difficult; you can do it yourself. If you don’t have the time or desire, then it’s easy to find suitable brooms in stores and markets.
Buckets, steamers and gangs
These accessories are a must have in the bathhouse. They are used for steaming brooms, dousing with cold water, etc. Accessories can be bought or made with your own hands.
Oak, linden and aspen are suitable for making buckets and steamers. Pine and cedar are used for gangs. They come in different sizes, usually from 10 liters.
To make these accessories you need to prepare well-matched boards, a bottom made of blanks, a metal hoop and twine. Wooden buckets, steamers and bowls look neat and fit harmoniously into the bathhouse interior. But you need to take into account that wood is a natural material that can dry out, crack and become moldy over time. To protect it from this, it is important to scald a bucket or steamer with boiling water after each bath procedure, wipe it dry and put it away from the stove.

If a wooden container is not used for a long time, it may lose its seal. Ordinary cold water will help remove microcracks; pour it into a container and leave for several hours.
An alternative to wooden containers are ordinary plastic basins.
Making scrapers and caring for them
Driven tools of this type (for example, electric scrapers) are often included with scraping machines. You have to make manual ones yourself. Regarding flat designs, the easiest way is to use an old or broken file: the material is the same, and in most cases the working surfaces of the edges may turn out to be just right. The broken end of the file is sharpened to the required configuration, and then the required radii of curvature are manually shaped.
For shaped scrapers for metal, you will need the help of experienced specialists who have the appropriate equipment and equipment at their disposal.
Scrapers are precision tools that should be stored separately, wrapping the working blade in an oiled rag. If sharpening of a scraper is required, you must first grind it on the flat surface of a smooth grinding wheel, and then sharpen and oil the working edge. Poor sharpening leaves microscopic irregularities on the blades, which will worsen the scraping result.
Buckets and scoops
The best option is to buy two at once. You will need one in the steam room to splash water on the bath stones, and the other to collect water into a container. The first should be small - up to 0.5 liters, but the second can be larger.
The most popular material is wood. It is natural and has low thermal conductivity. It is undesirable to use plastic, since this material is artificial and stands out from the general style. There are also scoops and ladles made of metal, but with a wooden handle.
It is permissible to use metal products in a bathhouse, but it is better to avoid them. In high temperature conditions, the metal becomes very hot and can burn the skin. Even though the handle of the bucket is made of wood, there is a possibility of accidentally touching the metal part of the bucket to your body.
Varieties
Gate valves come in sliding and rotary types. The first works due to the perpendicular movement of the partition. The second type involves a rotating mechanism located inside the chimney.
Retractable
This type of gate is a comfortable and effective way to control traction. Its main difference is its long service life, which is achieved by the absence of temporary wear at the attachment points. Due to this, it is possible to maintain the high quality of the damper even in bad weather conditions.
Turning
The principle of its operation is based on the rotation of the partition about its axis. If you turn it counterclockwise, the damper will close the air flow. If the turn occurs in the opposite direction, then there will be no obstacles in the way of air. To regulate this process, you need to operate a special knob.
In addition, the gate differs in the type of material:
- Cast iron is strong and durable. Typically used in brick chimneys.
- Steel - made of stainless steel, is a universal option for installation in fireplaces, stoves and chimneys.
Bath caps
Bath caps today are represented by a huge assortment. They can have various patterns, designs and inscriptions. In addition to the fact that a hat is a stylish accessory, it also plays an important role - it protects the head from overheating. It is advisable that you have several hats in your bathhouse (depending on the capacity of the steam room) so that each visitor can protect her head.
They can be made from natural wool, linen, cotton, felt and felt. All fabrics “breathe” well.
Towel
The temperature in the steam room is high, even the shelves are heated, so it is advisable to have a towel with you that can be placed under it. The towel should be long enough so that you can lie on it, and when you go to the rest room, you can wrap yourself in it.

Some even sew a special elastic band into the towel so that it does not slip, and make pockets.
It is better to prepare two towels for the bath: one for the face and hair, and the other for the body.
Types of bath water supply
If the bathhouse is used quite rarely, and you enjoy hauling water into it in buckets, you are unlikely to be interested in how to make a water supply for a bathhouse. However, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this method is not only labor-intensive, but also very impractical and uneconomical.
It will take a lot of time and effort to carry water in buckets.
In summer, the water remaining in the container stagnates and loses its freshness. And in winter it must be completely drained after each procedure, otherwise the frozen liquid will rupture the tank and shut-off valves.
Even if water costs nothing (river, rain, etc.), its drained excess creates problems: increased humidity, mold, overflow of the drain pit. And an automated water supply system will allow you not to think about such phenomena and not waste time and effort preparing the bath for the bath day.
Fungus and mold are the result of excess moisture
Summer water supply
If you visit the bathhouse only during summer visits to the dacha, you can connect the seasonal water supply to the bathhouse. To do this, you need to lower a submersible pump into the water source and lay a pipeline from it to the bathhouse. You can use a regular garden hose.
Advice. When laying “over the air”, without digging into the ground, it is more practical to use thick-walled polyethylene pipes. They will last more than one season and will not create problems when preserving the pipeline for the winter.
To avoid carrying water in buckets, extend a hose into the bathhouse

By turning on the pump, you will quickly fill all the containers in the bath and can add more if there is not enough water.
You can pump water into a storage tank located in the attic or on a hill on the site. From there it will be fed into the bathhouse by gravity. In this case, it is convenient to install the faucet directly in the washing room.
Faucet in the bath
Making such a water supply in a bathhouse with your own hands is as easy as shelling pears, but it doesn’t provide much comfort either. In addition, the system needs to be preserved for the winter: drain the water from it so that when it freezes, it does not rupture the pipes and shut-off valves.
However, in some cases it is the only possible one. For example, if a house is still being built on the site and it is planned to build a general water supply system from a centralized source.
Or the now popular bathhouse on wheels - the water supply scheme for a mobile bathhouse involves connecting a flexible hose to different sources.
Mobile sauna
All-season water supply
Unfortunately, the summer water supply in the bathhouse will not work in winter due to the banal freezing of water in the pipes. Insulating them is not an option, since even the highest quality thermal insulation materials are not able to protect against severe frosts.
To prevent ice plugs from forming in pipes and equipment, you need to:
- Either lay them below the freezing level of the ground and constantly heat the bathhouse;
- Either provide a constant flow of water in the system, which is very irrational;
- Or completely drain the water from it after each visit to the steam room;
- Or maintain a positive temperature of the water inside the pipes using a heating electric cable.
Heating cable on the outer section of the pipe
Each method has its drawbacks. For example, if there are frequent power outages, using a heating cable will be useless. And constantly heating a room that is visited only occasionally will be too expensive.
Therefore, in practice the following schemes are used:
- The simplest one resembles summer water supply for baths, with the difference that the pipeline is laid with a good slope towards a well or borehole. There should be no shut-off devices on it, and the pump should not have a shut-off valve. By turning it on, you can fill all the containers in the bath. After turning off the equipment, the remaining water in the pipe, thanks to the slope, flows by gravity through the pump back into the well.
The simplest design of a winter water supply with flow to the source
It is important. To prevent the water in the source from freezing, it is necessary to insulate it - make a caisson for a well or a house for a well with a well-insulated lid.
- A more complex scheme involves greater material and labor costs for its installation. Such water supply systems for baths consist of a pump and a pipeline laid in a trench below the freezing level of the soil up to the washing room.
- To do this, make a hole in the wall of the well, insert the end of the pipe into it, connect it to the pump, and seal the hole. A trench is dug up to the bathhouse and under its foundation. It is better to make the vertical part of the pipeline from the pit in the bathhouse to the water tank from a flexible hose, and the pit itself is well insulated and equipped with a lid.
- There is another similar scheme in which water pumping equipment is installed not in a well, but in an insulated base of a bathhouse.
Drawing of water supply for a bathhouse from a well
These are the most common methods by which water supply is arranged in an unheated bathhouse. If it is heated all year round, it can be equipped with much greater comfort by installing a pumping station and a boiler for hot water, and completing internal wiring in all rooms.
The presence of heating in the bathhouse will allow you to equip it with maximum comfort.
This will make it possible to make a bathroom in the bathhouse, install a shower and even equip a kitchen. The only weak point of such a system in winter is the area where it enters the building above the freezing level. It must be insulated or a heating cable must be laid in the pipe.
Hot water supply
Another important question: a bathhouse and hot water supply in it. If it is not heated in winter, and there is no possibility of installing an electric or gas water heater, you will need a hot water tank. It is filled from a cold water supply system, but heating depends on the type of tank.
| Image | Description | Advantages |
| Built into the stove from above or on the side, the tank’s bottom or wall is in contact with it, and the water is heated by fire from the firebox. It can be scooped from above or removed through a tap welded into the wall. | Very high heating efficiency. But you need to monitor the water level in the tank. To prevent the boiling liquid from creating raw steam, it must be more than half full. |
| Hot water supply in the bathhouse is provided from a tank installed on the chimney. Hot smoke passing through it heats the water. | High efficiency and increased service life of the chimney, since it does not heat up so much during the combustion process, giving off heat to the water. |
| In a remote tank, water is heated from the heat exchanger of the sauna stove - water supply in this way is convenient for a large number of users. | The container can be installed anywhere without being rigidly tied to the oven. For example, the stove can be in the dressing room, and the tank in the washing compartment. |
Scheme of hot water supply in a bathhouse from a remote tank
Advice. The optimal volume of the tank is calculated in accordance with the number of people washing in the bathhouse: each person should have at least 15 liters of hot water.
When choosing a material for making a container, consider the following options:
- Black metal. The most budget and affordable option, you can weld the tank yourself. But the material is susceptible to corrosion, which affects the quality of water.
Making a metal tank
- Stainless steel. The most preferable option is lightweight, wear-resistant, non-rusting, and aesthetically attractive. But it costs more.
Stainless steel containers
- Cast iron. It is also not subject to corrosion and retains heat well. But at present it is practically not used due to its lack of availability on sale.

Slippers
The floor in the bathhouse is wet, so choose non-slip slippers. It is recommended not to take plastic shoes as they slip on the tiles. Rubber shoes for a bath are more suitable.
It is better that each visitor has his own slippers.
It's no secret that fungus can easily be transmitted through shoes; in addition, if you wear shoes that are several sizes too large, you can easily get tangled in them and fall. Slippers that are too small also reduce stability.
