Be sure to check local regulations. Condos are often classified as  public 
facilities. There have been such extensive requirements for safety and chemical 
use that we didn’t fix ours the last time it broke (and hadn't met them before).

One community I recall saying they put a hot tub on the roof but were never 
able to meet the requirements for using it.

I know nothing of saunas but if there are no regulations, there are at least 
best practices that would protect you from liability.
