FAQ's
We are happy to answer all of your questions regarding our facilities and floating best practices!
01. Do I need to bring anything?
If you wear contacts, it’s good to bring a case, your solution, and your glasses. You also do need to shower before and after getting in the tank, so if you have special toiletries you want, you should bring those, too. If you have long hair, you might want to bring a brush. (We do provide soap, shampoo, and towels.)
02. Do I need a bathing suit?
Nope! Your chamber is totally private. But if you’re more comfortable wearing one, that’s okay of course.
03. Does it matter which tank I float in?
There are a few differences between the Escape Pod and Summer Sky tanks, but both will give you a real float experience. Summer Sky tanks are taller so they have more headroom and are easier to get in and out of if you have any mobility troubles. They also have interior lighting (that you can turn on and off as you like) with a pretty starlight sky effect. For both these reasons, people concerned about claustrophobia often prefer them.
The Escape Pod tanks have less headroom (you can kneel in them but not stand up) but that means less air to heat up so the humidity is more steady. They may also be a little quieter for a purer float experience.
In the end we charge the same price for both styles because the differences are not as important as what they have in common, which is the warm, dark, quiet pool of Epsom salt water to float in. Many people simply take whichever tank is available at the time they want to float.
04. Is the water clean?
Absolutely. Float tank water is generally cleaner, in fact, than most swimming pools or hot tubs because only one person uses them at a time, and they aren’t sweating or wearing sunblock. And we take keeping our water clean very seriously.
The main factor keeping the float tank water clean is the high salt concentration itself. Nothing pathogenic can grow in such salty water. Then we sanitize by treating with germ-killing UV light between every client, and back that up by maintaining an active dose of hydrogen peroxide in the tank at all times. Filtering to remove oils and particulates is taken care of by a swimming-pool-sized filter unit. We filter aggressively between every client, turning the whole contents of the tank over three to four times, to keep our water sparkling.
05. How big is the tank?
They’re seven and a half feet long on the inside, so unless you’re Shaq, you should be fine (sorry, Shaq). People weighing over 400 lbs have floated with us without a problem.
Note: larger bathrobes are available. If you’d like one, please let us know. We’ll make a note to set one out in your room whenever you visit.
06. Will I actually float?
Our tanks contain over 900 lbs of epsom salt, so the water is denser than the Dead Sea. Don’t worry, you’ll definitely float. (Unless your bones have been replaced with adamantium – sorry, Wolverine).
