Floatation FAQ š¤: How sanitary is floatation therapy?
Floating is extremely sanitary. Our state-of-the-art filtration system goes well above and beyond what is required by the NC state health department. The water is filtered using an ozonator, UV light, 2 industrial sized pool filters and trace of bromine (1ppm). Ozonators act as a powerful sanitizer that destroys any bacteria and viruses that may be present in the salt water solution. The Epsom salt (1500 lbs dissolved!) has its own natural bacterial killing qualities. Lastly, clients are asked to shower before and after each float session to ensure the cleanliness of the tank. NSF (leading certification agency) completed a soon to be published research study on our filtration system and found that after running the filters for 10 minutes (as we do after every float) the solution was completely sterile.
Our very own Corey Constanzo (co-owner) is Chairperson of the Sanitation and Regulation Committee of the FTA (Float Tank Association). Corey personally oversees all of our filtration system maintenance. He is passionate about protecting public health while supporting the longevity of float centers everywhere, and helping communities to feel confident in floatation therapy as a safe and transformative wellness practice.
