Understanding Home Float Tanks
Float tanks create a sensory-reduced environment using Epsom salt-saturated water (about 800-1,200 lbs of salt) that allows you to float effortlessly. The water is heated to skin temperature (~94°F), and enclosed pods block light and sound for complete sensory deprivation.
Open Float Tanks: $5,000-$10,000 – No enclosure, beginner-friendly
Enclosed Float Pods: $15,000-$22,000 – Full sensory deprivation, commercial-grade
Salt Required: 800-1,200 lbs Epsom salt for proper buoyancy
Open Float Tanks
Entry-level and mid-range options without a lid or enclosure. Perfect for those new to floating or with claustrophobia concerns. The Dreampod Home Float series offers open tanks from the compact FLEX model to the premium Plus.
Pros: No claustrophobia, easy entry/exit, works in smaller spaces, lower cost
Cons: Less sensory isolation, ambient light/sound present, less temperature stable
Enclosed Float Pods
Commercial-grade chambers with closing lids for complete darkness and silence. The Dreampod Sport, V2, and Vmax pods deliver the deepest sensory deprivation experience. Ideal for serious floaters and float studios.
Pair floating with cold plunging for enhanced recovery benefits.
Pros: Complete sensory isolation, best for deep meditation, professional quality
Cons: Higher cost, larger footprint, professional installation recommended
Pro Tip: Before committing to a home float tank, try floating at a local float center 3-5 times to confirm you enjoy the experience. Many people find floating transformative, but it's a significant investment best made after you know it works for you.
Installation Considerations
Weight: A filled float tank weighs 2,000-3,000+ lbs. Ground-floor installation is strongly recommended. Upper floors may require structural reinforcement.
Space: Open tanks need approximately 6' x 4' floor space. Enclosed pods require 8' x 5' or larger. Ceiling height of 7'+ is needed for most tanks.
Plumbing: Tanks need a water supply for filling and a drain for maintenance. Some setups don't require permanent plumbing connections.
Electrical: Heating and filtration systems require dedicated circuits. Most tanks need 20-30 amp service for reliable operation.
