floathq

Don't tell anyone, but float tanks are basically the flux capacitor in this equation.

We run our floats at $50 for 90 minutes (and $60 for 2.5 hours). That being said, average price across the US is something more like $60-$65 an hour.

The water is filtered between every person, through a cartridge filter (for physical stuff) and a hydrogen peroxide dose (for bacterial stuff). Our pumps are powerful enough that the entire water in the tank goes through this filter system 3-4 times before anyone else gets in.

The salt is also an amazing sanitizer. It's at about 25%-30% salt, which is enough to kill almost any bacteria.

We also switch the entire water out every 6 months or so, just for good practice.

We get a lot of questions about sanitation, so we do independent lab tests and crazy stuff like that too just to be extra sure, and they've all come back with the lowest possible levels of any bacteria we tested for.

In terms of people losing their shit, it doesn't really happen. It seems like a crazy idea at first, but if feels really familiar once you're in there. It also puts your body into a super relaxed place, so it's a really hard environment to lose your shit in.

You can see crazy visuals and hallucinations in the float tank, but there's no point where you feel like you're not in control, so it differs from a drug trip in that way.

People are really forgetful after they float though, so our lost and found is pretty impressive :)

[edit for more info]

They are actually some of our happiest customers. A lot of those people have trouble quieting down that voice inside of their heads, and letting their body relax, and the float tank is amazing at helping you do that.

You can definitely earn a mustache ride, but it involves a very hairy punch card.

Do I hear a kickstarter in the making?
