How to Float

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What do I bring
A: Just yourself! We provide all that you need to float - toiletries for the shower before and after, towels, earplugs and music. You can bring personal toiletries and music if you wish.

Q: How is the tank cleaned and maintained?
A: The tank is cleaned after every floatation session by pumping the water through a filter, which removes any particles. Then we use a food grade hydrogen peroxide, which acts like chlorine without chemical residue, to further sterilize the tank. Additionally, Epsom salt is a natural cleanser that kills bacteria.

Q: Can I float if I have a small cut?
A: Small cuts and scrapes may sting for a moment when entering the water, but that should quickly subside. If you have a large cut or scrape, then we recommend you wait until it’s healed before floating.

Q: Will I be enclosed in the tank?
A: Yes, the tank is a closed, comfortable environment. You can choose to float with lights on or off. The door to the tank easily opens with a one-finger push. Air is constantly circulating through a vent near the top. Since you are more above the water, keeping the door closed maintains a warmer environment for floating.

Q: When should I NOT float?
A: You should not float if the salt water will compromise any medical concerns such as open cuts and scrapes, skin concerns, hemorrhoids or digestive issues. Women should not float during menstruation. The water may also fade dyed hair color and many clients choose to time their floating appropriately.

Q: What if I still have questions?
