Water & cleaning at Cloud Nine Flotation

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 Cloud Nine Flotation's own information: UV sterilization, ozone.

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.

Many floaters stack their session with contrast therapy the same day. Beyond the float tank, Cloud Nine Flotation also offers:

From the reviews

My float experience at Cloud Nine Flotation was wonderful! It's apparent that Kalyn puts her whole heart and soul into float therapy and her establishment. She and Austin, our float attendant, were very sweet and made my party feel at ease. Kai, the resident dog was an added bonus!

This was the second float I ever experienced and the first float at Cloud Nine. Having neck issues, it took about 10 minutes for my neck to relax but the head support really helped. I left feeling relaxed and grounded. I had less pain too! I felt really good and Kalyn was lovely. I look forward to returning.

It's a Mind exploring adventure. The staff was very informative. Facility is clean and organized. They have all kinds of packages for floating. After my time was up we visited and discussed future float options. Music and frequency. There is an assortment of spiritual items for sale, to take home too.

★★★★★ — Jeff, Mar 2018

I went for my first float on Mother's Day and it was better than I anticipated. I have fibromyalgia and have a few other health issues thanks to it. Constant pain is the order of the day. Kalyn was super helpful, very understanding, and compassionate. After my float...I honestly have no words...

Your first float at Cloud Nine Flotation

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.
