Float Tank Filtration and Sanitization Process

How do the float tanks get sanitized?

Health and safety is our number one priority at Flow Spa, and I worked as a food safety manager for a number of years before opening Flow Spa, so I get it.

People want to know how the float tanks get cleaned and are they safe?

There is a four-stage process of filtration and sanitizing that the float tanks go through after every customer in addition to the regular change over of the water and Epsom salt that makes up the float tank solution.

When the filters run after every customer, they completely change over the solution 4 times before the next person. The first step is a skimmer followed by a micron filter that is fine enough to trap and remove microbes from the solution. Then the next two steps through the filtration system sanitize and disinfect the solution even further with the same process that medical devices go through for disinfection.

This uses UV light and an Ozonator which both on their own are effective for safe treatment of the float tank solution but are even better together.

And as an additional sanitary measure, we add hydrogen peroxide to the water and spray down all the surfaces of the float tank that aren’t covered by the water filtration process with hydrogen peroxide as well.
