When the rain starts, the ritual begins.
Valeja is a Finnish rain ladle. It gives you full control over the water flow and turns the beginning of the sauna into a conscious moment.
What does Valeja do?
Valeja does not pour water onto the heater – it dispenses it as rain. The rain cover divides the water into several small streams, allowing the sauna to rise more softly and evenly, without splashing or sudden bursts of steam.
The result:
- a smoother sauna
- better control
- a calmer rhythm.
Controlled rain
In a Valeja, the water stays inside the cradle until you decide otherwise.
The air hole in the handle acts as a simple valve. When your thumb closes the hole, water stops flowing, even though the rain head is down. When you move your thumb slightly, the bucket gets replacement air and the rain starts.
The movement is small. The moment is clear. The rain doesn’t start by accident – it starts when you’re ready.
Rain cover
The rain cover determines the duration, frequency and pattern of the rain.
Valeja comes with Anela – a steady and calm basic rain.
Other rain covers (Ilae, Selua and Isara) will be available later and will change the flow of water and the rain trace.

Frequently asked questions
What is a rain bucket?
A sauna bucket that distributes water as rain onto the heater.
How to use Valeja?
Fill the bucket normally. Keep the air hole in the handle closed with your thumb — the water stays in the bucket when the rain head is downwards. When you are ready, move your thumb slightly. The bucket receives replacement air and the water starts to rain.
Does the rain cover come with it?
Yes. Anela is included.
Can I buy other covers later?
Yes. Ilae, Selua and Isara are sold separately.
Does Valeja fit all heaters?
In practice, yes. Always use calmly and from a safe distance.
