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 Floatopia Float Spa & Salt Cave runs, drawn from their own site and reviews.

🌊Open float (no lid)

No lid to close over you — the answer for anyone who feels boxed in. Open pools, open rooms, or pods whose door stays open.

🛁Float Rooms

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

Water & cleaning at Floatopia Float Spa & Salt Cave

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 Floatopia Float Spa & Salt Cave's own information: filters the full tank 8× between floats, down to a 10-micron filter, UV sterilization, ozone, 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.

★★★★★ — Gee, Apr 2025

After a float session, my body felt so relaxed and light. At first I couldn’t get comfortable in the float tub, but once I was it was super calming. I did a 60 minute float which was more than enough. After your float there is a peaceful space to relax with tea, robes and salt lamps.

★★★★★ — Hiba, Oct 2020

Love this place so much. I’ve been coming here for years! The float tank experience is so healing. The space itself is zen and full of amazing tranquil vibes. I love that you can enjoy complimentary herbal tea, after a float, while chilling in the back lounge area.

★★★★★ — Naika, Dec 2025

The inside was very nice, and the staff were above and beyond kind! The actual experience itself floating was a bit nauseating for me - there wasn’t any air flow between the floating tub and the outside, so it got very stuffy and almost hard to breathe.

Your first float at Floatopia Float Spa & Salt Cave

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.
