The tanks & rooms here

The vessel type is the single biggest thing to get right — especially if enclosed spaces make you uneasy. Here's what Clarity Float Spa runs, drawn from their own site and reviews.

🥚Float Pods

The classic enclosed capsule with a hinged lid. Deepest sensory deprivation; you lie down and pull the lid to.

🚪Float Cabins

A walk-in enclosure with full standing height — for taller floaters and anyone who wants privacy without a low lid.

🛁Float Rooms

The room itself is the vessel: no hatch, walk straight in. Great for claustrophobia and easier access.

Water & cleaning at Clarity Float Spa

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 Clarity Float Spa's own information: down to a 10-micron filter, UV sterilization, hydrogen peroxide.

The float-industry standard is turning the entire volume of water over at least three times between sessions through a 1–10 micron filter, paired with UV and/or hydrogen peroxide or ozone. If a center doesn't publish its process, it's fair to ask.

From the reviews

Had my first float the other day. Amazing! I really felt like I had time to unwind and get my mind away from the everyday hustle. The tea is great, too. I think Noah said they’ve got their own blend. If you’ve never floated, you should definitely drop by and see what’s it’s all about!

The Columbia Float spa is fantastic. I am currently visiting MO to help my mother while she is recovering from knee replacement. I was seeking a little R and R and found the spa listing. The ambiance is serene and the staff are very warm and welcoming.

★★★★★ — Leigh, Apr 2022

Very friendly and informative staff! First time floating, very relaxing. I do wish the neck support wasn't so flimsy, I found my neck kind of achy after, from how heavy my head hung while fully relaxed without proper support. Overall a very good experience though!

★★★★★ — Rachel, Jul 2018

Deeply restorative experience. I needed to book on the phone and they were incredibly helpful. Coming in I was welcomed with tea, a calming atmosphere, and Kylie was kind and helpful. The float was fantastic.

Your first float at Clarity Float Spa

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.

Floating isn't for everyone: skip it with epilepsy, kidney disease, uncontrolled heart conditions, open wounds, a contagious condition, or in the first trimester of pregnancy without your doctor's OK. If in doubt, ask the center and check with a physician — this is general information, not medical advice.
