FAQ's
Floatation Therapy
What do I need to bring?
Bring a towel from home and yourself. We provide shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. These products are designed to have least effect on our float solution which ensures the water quality is maintained. Earplugs also provided.
What if I am Claustrophobic?
Our tanks are designed to be spacious that even the most claustrophobic of people can feel comfortable. However some people like to keep the light on inside the tank throughout or even keep the lid open. Both of which will not take away from the benefits you should achieve.
How are the tanks kept clean and the water purified?
Filtering and heating the salt solution is done between float sessions. Filtering is initiated from your cloud-based control interface manually or automatically. This process ensures that the pod has filtered the solution through the UV cleaner and filter unit several times to help remove any dirty particles in the water. During the float session, no pumps or heaters are running to allow for silence within the tank. Float rooms are also maintained by our staff between each float so you can be sure you will be entering a pristine environment.
Can I drown if I fall asleep?
Due to both the depth and salinity of the float solution it would be nigh on impossible to drown in a float tank. Falling asleep can happen, but rolling over from the lying position on purpose is not easy, never mind accidentally.
What is the temperature of the salt water?
The water is kept at approx 35.5 degrees celsius. This ensures a comfortable interaction with the skin through your float, at times it can even be difficult to feel the difference between the water and air on the skin.
I’ve just dyed my hair, can I float?
If you dye your hair, you will need to wait at least 10 days after you dye it to give your new color time to set in completely. With red dye we require waiting 30 days to float and you must bring a tight-fitted swim cap
What do I wear to float?
Thats up to you. Floatation Therapy is your experience. Some wear a swim suit or shorts, others go au natural. Keep in mind with floatation you are often trying to escape a busy mind, therefore an uncomfortable swim suit may interfere with your experience.
I’ve had a tattoo, when can I float?
Floating and fresh tattoos do not mix! Not only could floating with a fresh tattoo be painful (salt + open wounds = ouch) but the water solution could cause fading or discolouration of your tattoo and permanently ruin its aesthetic appeal.
Can I float if I just got a piercing?
Like tattoos, this tends to not mix well! When your piercing is fresh it is still an open wound, which will cause some major discomfort. The area you have pierced will create a variation in the healing time, so floating can take between a couple weeks to a couple months depending on what you had done. For more information we suggest searching the healing times online or ask your body modification artist.
Is there anything I should do to prepare?
Don’t drink coffee for several hours beforehand (it can make your system jittery). Also, don’t shave or wax since the salt water can irritate your skin. We do supply petroleum jelly to cover any small nicks before you get in the tank. Personal recommendation based on experience – Apply Liberally. Eating a light meal about an hour to 90 minutes ahead of time stops your stomach from sounding like an angry monster while you float. Other than that, there’s no specific preparation needed.
Can I float if I’m pregnant?
Yes, pregnant women may use float tanks. Floating while pregnant allows you to escape the added weight of pregnancy by taking the strain off the body and spine (and feet!). It promotes excellent sleep, a lovely sense of well being, and can help with all the aches and pains normally associated with pregnancy. Floatation is not recommended in the first trimester or after week 35. If you are in your third trimester, or have any concerns, please consult with your physician before coming in.
Can I float if I have my period?
Yes, you can float while menstruating. Just treat it like going to a swimming pool while on your period. Pro tip: if you happen to be using a tampon, consider coating the string with petroleum jelly (provided in the room) to prevent salt water from wicking into the tampon. Tampons will be provided in the restroom at Float Well.
