How It Works
The float tank is a spacious, insulated cocoon-like pod, which is large enough for you to be inside with arms and legs stretched without touching the sides. Float tanks are designed with built in filtration and cleansing mechanisms which keep the water sterile, and free from microbes and debris. Both the water and air within the pod are precisely adjusted to your body's natural temperature, providing an experience where you lose the sensation of touch and the weight of gravity. Enhance your experience by turning off the lights and eliminating visual stimuli, creating a cocoon of tranquility. With ears plugged and submerged under the water, enjoy a serene escape free from external interruptions.

CAN I FLOAT PREGNANT?
Yes! Pregnant women love to float! Many pregnant women find floating helps relieve the joint pain and inflammation associated with carrying additional baby weight. Floating has been shown to reduce cortisol levels and boost endorphins which may help counteract the hormonal changes associated with pregnancy which can result in insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Anecdotally, many mothers-to-be in the tank have amazing bonding experiences with their unborn baby known as the “mirror effect” where the baby rests peacefully in the womb while the mother rests in a similar womb-like environment which seems to reduce the effects of postpartum depression. Many pregnant women are also prescribed magnesium supplements so soaking in our 30% Epsom salt solution supports that need. Please consult with your physician before floating.
Float Tank Benefits
As you are peacefully cocooned from all stimulation – sound, sight, smell, touch and gravity – your mind gradually enters a state of profound relaxation. External stimulation accounts for 90% of normal neuro-muscular activity, and so when the senses are deprived in this way, and as you settle into the experience, the mind is able to shift from its habitual alpha state into a theta state.
Theta brain-waves occur most often in sleep and in deep meditation, and enhance mental access to memory, focus and intuition. Once in a theta state, the brain enters a deeply restful and healing process, which produces endorphins and leads to a multitude of benefits for both mental and physical wellbeing.
Our Epsom salt solution alone offers countless therapeutic benefits. It’s magnesium sulfate, which provides floaters with the fourth most abundant mineral in the body. Adequate magnesium levels can promote better sleep, exfoliate your skin, and it can even add volume to your hair.
SANITATION- PRISTINE CLEAN
In between each floater, the tank circulates the solution through the filter at least five times, meeting the strictest of health code standards across the U.S. Plus, with 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt, the solution has a similar mineral content to that of the Dead Sea, in which nothing can grow.
Ozone (O₃) and UV light are built into the filtration system and are the primary sanitizers. A couple ounces of a high-percentage hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is the only other addition. Ozone has one oxygen molecule more than air, and hydrogen peroxide has one oxygen molecule more than water. As ozone and hydrogen peroxide pass through the UV light, the extra oxygen molecules are removed, creating hydroxyl radicals which act like magnets, attracting any particles in the solution that are too small for the filter until they become large enough to be removed.
This process, which is recommended by the Center For Disease Control (CDC) and the Float Tank Association (FTA), physically removes any contaminants from the solution. Air and water are the only byproducts, making this much safer for floaters than the alternative option of bromine. While bromine will kill anything in the solution, it does not help remove it. Bromine also burns off into a gas that will hang within four inches of the surface and is toxic to breathe, especially in a closed tank.
In addition to cleaning all touched surfaces between floaters and sanitizing daily,we deep clean weekly to scrub the entire room including the inside and outside of the tanks.
