At Vessel, we understand the importance of maintaining both body and mind. Our float tanks are meticulously maintained to ensure a pristine and hygienic experience for every guest.

We often hear questions like, “Are float tanks clean?” and “Are they hygienic?” The answer at Vessel is a resounding yes. Here’s how we ensure it.

The Water in Our Float Tanks

Each of our spacious float tanks features 7.5-foot ceilings and holds 250 gallons of water infused with 1,500 pounds of pharmaceutical-grade Epsom salt. This high concentration of Epsom salt not only enhances buoyancy but also creates an environment where common bacteria cannot survive.

Advanced Water Treatment

We employ an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) to ensure water purity. This process combines ultraviolet light, ozone, and daily applications of 35% hydrogen peroxide to eliminate any unwanted microorganisms.

Our tanks are also equipped with custom X-100 filters from Micron Filtration Systems, capable of removing particles as small as 1 micron. This ensures exceptional water clarity and cleanliness.

AOP Sanitation Science:

For the detail-minded, when germicidal UV light (UV-C) and ozone react, the result is the production of hydroxyl radicals. This reaction is known as the Advanced Oxidation Process, or AOP. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are the most powerful oxidation agents available, quickly destroying bacteria, viruses, pathogens and other contaminants that occur in water. Hydroxyl radicals also destroy chlorine and bromine resistant microorganisms such as Cryptosporidium Parvum, Giardia and E.Coli.

Continuous Filtration

Between each session, the water in our tanks undergoes filtration at least three times. When not in use, the filtration system runs hourly to maintain continuous cleanliness.

Routine Maintenance

To maintain the highest standards, we test each tank’s chemical balance, pH, alkalinity, and salt content twice weekly. On the same schedule, the tank walls are scrubbed and disinfected to ensure a completely hygienic environment for every guest.

Monthly Water Replacement

Although changing the entire saltwater solution between each session isn’t practical due to the 1,500 pounds of Epsom salt used per tank, we perform a full replacement of the solution monthly or as needed to maintain optimal hygiene.

The Cleanest Float Experience

At Vessel Floats, we go above and beyond to provide a safe and clean environment for your float sessions. From our rigorous maintenance routines to advanced water treatment systems, you can rest assured that your health and comfort are always our top priority.
