Float info is on its way…

Should you let those with long dreadlocks and super long hair float? Yeah, we definitely think so!

Our sound designer, Jordan Lamp joins Graham and Ashkahn on this episode of the Daily Solutions Podcast to talk about what it’s like floating with dreads.

You might not know this, but Graham and Ashkahn get almost as excited talking about productivity software and tips as they do float tanks.

From Boomerang and TextExpander to LastPass, Google Docs, and our very own Helm, there’s a ton of software out there to make your work much more streamlined and efficient. With TextExpander, for example, you can become a time wizard with pre loaded shortcuts to much longer or complicated copy, code, or even form-fills. 

Listen above or read below for all the salty software trips we could fit into this episode.

Soon after you open, you might realize that you’ve gotten a lot of the same complaint: The float was great, but I heard all this rumbling.

Odds are, your floaters are hearing one of two things — traffic on the road outside or their very hungry tummy.

If it’s the latter, feed them some post float snacks and tea. If the former, what can you do?

Aside from difficult and expensive projects, like building new walls or lobbying for the removal of cars from municipal streets, it turns out there are some pretty simple and cheap solutions that will block traffic noise.

Like inexpensive rubber pucks.

Pucks?

Puck yeah. Listen above or read below to learn more.

You’ve been open three months, things are going great, and then it happens — your first bad Yelp review.

Before you start throwing salt all over your center and gearing up to battle internet trolls, listen to this Daily Solutions Podcast where Graham & Ashkahn drop some wisdom on how to respond in the face of often-undue criticism.

It turns out the quickest way to address any negativity online is to reach out like a human, honestly and directly. Feedback can be helpful, and a constructive engagement with it can actually create quite a change in perception and experience from those giving it.

In today’s episode of the Daily Solutions Podcast, Graham & Ashkahn dole out some advice on why you shouldn’t run pumps when floaters are in your tanks.

The best case scenario if a pump goes on with someone still in it — their float is ruined. Worst case scenario? Their hair could get stuck in the filter or worse.

In our risk-averse society, these disaster scenarios compel us to set up safeguards to make sure they never happen. At Float On, we make it a point to never run a tank when a floater is still in it.

As they say, “Plan for the worst, hope for theta waves.”
