SIMPLE FLOAT FAQ

Our best piece of advice would be to expect nothing.

Refrain from consuming coffee for several hours before your session, as it can lead to jitteriness. Avoid shaving or waxing, as the saltwater may cause skin irritation. Having a light meal approximately 1 to 1.5 hours prior to your float prevents stomach rumbling during your session. Apart from these recommendations, there is no specific preparation required.

The most common duration is 60 minutes, which is often recommended for first-time floaters. However, some people prefer longer sessions to achieve deeper relaxation and meditative states, and double sessions of 120 minutes are also popular.

Between each float, the water is filtered multiple times through either a 10 micron filter and treated with UV light to sanitize the water. There is also residual Hydrogen Peroxide for supplementary sanitation and oxidation. Please consider as well that float tank water solution has up to 30% of salt which makes it less suitable for microorganisms than the Dead Sea.

If saltwater gets into your eyes while you are in a float tank, it can be uncomfortable but is not harmful. Here's what you can do to address the situation:

1. Stay Calm: Try to remain calm and keep your eyes closed. Panic or rubbing your eyes vigorously can make the discomfort worse.
2. Reach for the Towel: we provide a small towel inside the float tank. Gently use this towel to wipe your eyes without opening them.
3. Flush with Fresh Water: If the discomfort persists, and you can safely access a source of clean, fresh water, you may slowly and gently rinse your eyes with fresh water and return to the float tank.
