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

From the reviews
Flote has been a total game changer for me as it has proven to be a perfect way to recover and recharge both physically and mentally .I walk out of there feeling like they helped me achieve a complete reset for the mind and body. The floating experience was unlike anything I’ve tried before.
I went into Flote on my birthday to try floating for the first time. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful getting me set up and explaining everything I needed to know. The facility is well maintained and spotless with a calming atmosphere.
I received a Float certificate from a family member. The experience was very relaxing, calming, and unique! I felt like I was in space, lost in time! Maya greeted us, explained the pods, procedure, and facility. Flote was super clean, relaxing environment! I'm looking forward to a massage with my next float!!
My work got me a gift certificate for Flote and it was an amazing experience. I went online and easily scheduled a couples float. Jillian took us and showed us all the options and gave us a lovely tour. They have everything you need!
Your first float at Flōte
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.
