Float Tanks — Frequently Asked Questions

How does a float tank work?
A high-salinity magnesium sulfate solution (typically ~1,000 lbs of Epsom salt) is heated to skin-temperature (~93–95°F). You float effortlessly while sound/light are minimized.
What are the main benefits?
Users report stress relief, improved sleep, reduced muscle tension, and easier meditation. Many pair floating with training recovery and creative work.
How much space and power do I need?
Allow footprint clearance for the unit plus service access, a dedicated circuit per model, and nearby plumbing/drain access. See Space & Placement below.
What’s the difference between a “tank” and a “pod”?
Pods have a domed clamshell with lift-assist lids; tanks are more rectangular or “soaker” style. Pods help with sound/temperature isolation; open tanks feel less enclosed.
How often do I change the water/salt?
Water is continuously filtered and sanitized between sessions; top up water/salt as needed. Full solution changes depend on usage and maintenance practices.
Is it claustrophobic?
Most users relax quickly. You can leave the lid open or a light on initially and close it once comfortable. Consider open-style tanks like the Mineral Soaker.
Do I need ventilation?
Yes—rooms should be well-ventilated to manage humidity. A simple exhaust fan helps. Avoid placing tanks in unconditioned spaces.
How loud are pumps and filtration?
Modern Dreampod systems are designed for quiet operation. Pumps typically run between sessions; isolation and placement reduce sound during floats.
What maintenance is required?
Daily skim/rinse, monitor salinity and pH, clean filters per schedule, sanitize per manual, and wipe interior/exterior surfaces.
How long is a typical session?
45–90 minutes is common. Beginners often start at 45–60 and extend as they adapt.
Home vs. commercial models?
Home models emphasize compact footprints and simple upkeep; studio models optimize throughput, durability, and advanced control systems.
Who should avoid floating?
People with uncontrolled medical conditions, open wounds, or contagious skin issues should avoid floating. Consult a clinician if unsure.

Space & Placement Guide

Consideration Recommendation
Footprint & Access Measure doorways, hallways, and turning radii. Leave service clearance around pumps/filters.
Floor Load Confirm structure supports the filled weight (water + salt + tank).
Power Dedicated circuit(s) per manual; GFCI protection where required.
Water & Drain Nearby water supply and floor drain/sump access simplifies maintenance.
Ventilation Provide exhaust/vent to manage humidity; condition the room for comfort.

Room Build Checklist

  • Power: GFCI-protected 120V/20A outlet (check model manual).
  • Ventilation: Install exhaust fan rated 80–110 CFM minimum to control humidity.
  • Floor Load: Example: a pod holding ~250 gallons ≈ ~2,000 lbs water + ~1,000 lbs Epsom salt + tank weight. Confirm with contractor for upper floors.
  • Access: Ensure crate fits through main door and around corners—measure all pathways.
  • Drain: Floor drain or sump nearby simplifies water changes.

Delivery Path Checklist

  • Measure everything: Crate dimensions vs. doors, hallways, and stairwells.
  • Clear route: Remove obstacles, protect floors, stage moving equipment.
  • Power & water live: Ensure dedicated circuits and shut-offs are ready before delivery.
  • Team & timing: Coordinate installers and electrician/plumber on the same day.
  • De-crating area: Plan a clean zone near the install room.

Care, Warranty & Shipping

Follow Dreampod’s maintenance schedule: daily skimming, periodic filter cleaning/replacement, salinity/pH checks, and surface wipe-downs. Freight shipping includes curbside delivery unless white-glove/setup is added. Warranty terms and lead times vary by model.
