Specific Gravity Specifics

Specific Gravity Specifics

Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density (mass of the same unit volume) of a reference substance. The reference substance is nearly always water for liquids or air for gases.” Specific gravity, then, in the case of our float tanks, is how dense the salt water is compared to regular, run of the mill water.

So, where should we keep the specific gravity of a float tank? READ MORE…

Don’t Squander Water in Your Showers

Don’t Squander Water in Your Showers

Once you start planning out the monthly costs for your float center, you’ll quickly come to appreciate a running joke in the industry: although you may think you’re providing floats, what you’re really doing is running a shower business.

Each person that floats at your center will take two showers: one before their float, and one after. These showers are definitely necessary. Before a customer enters a float tank, you’ll want them to shower in order to make sure that water contamination from skin oils and dirt is minimized, and after a float a customer is going to need a shower to remove the salty residue from their skin.

Prepayment for Floats

Prepayment for Floats

Do you make people pay when they schedule an appointment?

We at Float On always strive to be as easy to deal with and non-intimidating as possible, so from the very beginning we have allowed people to book floats over the phone without payment. READ MORE…

The Difference Between Night and Day

The Difference Between Night and Day

We've all heard the expression, “It’s like the difference between night and day.” The term is used to draw extreme contrast. How much different is our experience of nighttime and daytime? How does it affect how we live? How we work? How we interact with our...

A Peek at the Float On Renovation

A Peek at the Float On Renovation

Well, we did it again. We've been closed for 2 weeks of construction already, and we still have another week to go. We're installing two new flooring and shower systems to test out, a new lobby wall for soundproofing, and we're replacing one of our Ocean Float Rooms...

The Best Time to Start a Float Center (response)

The Best Time to Start a Float Center (response)

I usually don't share the responses I get from our posts, but they always spawn great conversations. After this last one, I got hit with more emails than usual, and I wanted to share one of them with you which is representative of many of the others. I've been...

The Best Time to Start a Float Center

The Best Time to Start a Float Center

It's not today. Today is a great time to start a float center, but that's not the best time. The best time was a year ago. Or a month ago. Or yesterday. I've had the pleasure of seeing people from their first, innocent float all the way through opening the doors on...

Getting to Know Your Epsom Salt

Getting to Know Your Epsom Salt

Epsom salt has uses ranging from personal care to large-scale agriculture, and, of course, it is the salt that brings the ‘float’ to float tanks. Since it plays such a key role in our industry, and in maintaining the chemical balance of our beloved float tanks, we...
