Float therapy is a practice like no other and is deeply therapeutic for the mind and body.

Floating is a practice that allows you to “switch off” all the stimulation of the world. It involves lying in 10 inches of water with 500kg of Epsom Salts dissolved in it. This allows the person to float effortlessly on the surface of the water. The water, the air, and skin are the same temperature so, when the water settles, you don’t feel it anymore.
Due to the buoyancy of the water, all the forces of gravity on the body disappear. By reducing external stimulation your nervous system stops reacting to the surroundings and has an opportunity to rejuvenate and repair the body from the inside. The effects of stress are reversed.
By flicking the switch to turn off the outside world, your body enters into the perfect environment to regenerate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How we clean our float pods
How we care for our float pods and clean our water is one of the most frequently asked questions we hear at FLOAT Co.
We have a number of processes in place so that our pods are continuously and thoroughly maintained to ensure the quality of our water is always at its best.
The water within the float tank is a combination of 500kg of Epsom Salt (also known as Magnesium Sulphate) and 1000Lt of water. This highly salty or saline water environment prevents the growth of germs such as E.Coli, Pseudomonas, Legionella, Aspergillus as well as other micro-organisms. This also includes the novel corona virus that causes COVID-19.
Automatically, after each float session is completed and once the pod is no longer in use, the water is drained by a motorised pump removing sections of water at a time which then passes through a UV or Ultraviolet light and carbon filter bag which catches any particles or residue.
The water then passes through a heating coil returning the water back to the optimum temperature of 34.5 degrees. The default filter runs for 60 minutes between float sessions and the entire saltwater solution is filtered at least 3 times.
In addition to our strict hygiene measures, all our tanks are disinfected using a combination of the UV light and hydrogen peroxide like a swimming pool or spa.

Have you ever wondered how we clean each room before & after you float?
Bacteria and other pathogens love places that are warm and moist which is why our staff wipe down surfaces of the float tank and rooms with a Government regulated hospital grade disinfectant before and after each visit.
These include all touch surfaces such as walls and floors, doors and door handles, showers and all containers and toiletries in the room.
Other things we do after each float session is:
- Ensure the temperature of water is at ideal body temperature
- Ensure water salt solution is clear and not cloudy
- Check salinity level for ideal buoyancy
- Wipe the interior of the pod of condensation and magnesium oxide ring on the waterline
- Checking pH and alkalinity throughout the day
- Add hydrogen peroxide at the end of the day
- Change the water filter on a regular basis
