What We Do Between Every Session

By Float OKC

The least glamorous part of running a float centre, and the part we would most want you to know about.

Nobody books a float because of the filtration. But it is the question behind a lot of the hesitation, so here is the full answer.

Everyone showers first

This is required, not a courtesy. It removes lotions, oils and hair products that would otherwise end up in the water.

Three filtration systems

Ozone, UV and particle. The ozone and UV systems run continuously the entire time a pod is not in use. A full cleaning cycle completes between every single session.

The salt is doing work here too

At 900 pounds per tank the solution is concentrated enough that very little survives in it — one reason float tanks are more straightforward to keep sanitary than a pool.

Surfaces as well as water

Every surface in the room is cleaned with a hospital-grade sanitizer between appointments.

And the rules that protect it

No hair colouring or self-tanner within 72 hours. A month's wait after a new tattoo. Guests with certain skin conditions cannot float. These exist to keep the water usable for everyone, including you.

Our tanks are compliant with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act.
