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.

Tips for soundproofing to avoid road noise – DSP 23

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.

How to handle negative Yelp reviews – DSP 22

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.

Concerns for running pumps with floaters in tanks – DSP 21

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.”
