The tanks & rooms here
The classic enclosed capsule with a hinged lid. Deepest sensory deprivation; you lie down and pull the lid to.
A walk-in enclosure with full standing height — for taller floaters and anyone who wants privacy without a low lid.
The room itself is the vessel: no hatch, walk straight in. Great for claustrophobia and easier access.
Water & cleaning at Bare Necessities Floating and Massage
Sanitation is the thing seasoned floaters care about most, and most directories never show it. Between every float, the salt water should be pumped through fine filtration and disinfected — salt alone is not enough. From Bare Necessities Floating and Massage's own information: down to a 1-micron filter, UV sterilization, ozone, hydrogen peroxide.

From the reviews
My husband surprised me with a massage and float. It was fantastic! Great customer service and small business. It is relaxing and cozy. Definitely want to go back! They also just started a monthly membership which is affordable and the benefits roll over. If you want to treat yourself, this is a great place!
I was a bit nervous about doing my first float here but the receptionist (I believe the owner) was so welcoming and explained everything for me. She really prepared me to have the best experience possible. It was a great afternoon and their other services look awesome as well!
I bought two Groupons for my partner and myself for a 60 minute float and 60 minute massage. We arrived a little bit early, as it was our first time for both the float and massage and the owner working there was incredibly nice and created a welcoming environment.
Massage and float were great! Facilities clean. Love that the tank is big enough for couples floaters. One thing- I could hear the traffic. So if you're looking for a full sensory deprivation experience,this isn't the place to go.
Your first float at Bare Necessities Floating and Massage
Never floated before? Almost no one has their first time, and a good center expects it. Here's what to know. What it is: you float effortlessly in about ten inches of skin-temperature water saturated with around 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt — so dense you cannot sink. In the dark and quiet, with no light, sound, or gravity to react to, your nervous system downshifts. Before you come: don't shave or wax for a day beforehand (salt stings fresh cuts — they'll have barrier ointment if you nick yourself), skip caffeine, eat a light meal an hour or two before, and remove contacts. If you colored your hair recently, wait a few days. In the tank: shower first, put earplugs in before you get wet, and keep a fresh-water spray bottle within reach for salt in the eyes. You can leave the light or music on until you settle, then turn them off from inside. Hold your arms out for the first 20–30 seconds to stop bobbing, then let go. It takes a few tries — the first 20 minutes are usually your mind winding down. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to shower and get oriented.
