The tanks & rooms here
No lid to close over you — the answer for anyone who feels boxed in. Open pools, open rooms, or pods whose door stays open.
The room itself is the vessel: no hatch, walk straight in. Great for claustrophobia and easier access.
A room-sized open pool of salt water. Zero enclosure, easiest for two, most spacious of all.
Water & cleaning at Ninotch
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 Ninotch's own information: filters the full tank 3× between floats, UV sterilization, hydrogen peroxide.

From the reviews
Incredible service and impeccable facility. My friend and I had the most relaxing time in their float pools. I got a pool all to myself. I went into a deep state of meditation & towards the end I did some delicious floating stretching that my body appreciated dearly.
This was my first time trying float therapy and it was amazing thanks to the great staff at Ninotch. The staff was super friendly, the facility was very clean and modern, and the experience of the float therapy was incredible. The parking situation was a bit confusing but once you find it you'll love it!
Wonderful spa in a busy area. The staff is professional and fun! Tatiana is a master! My mother (Birthday gift) thoroughly enjoyed her salt water float and message. My son has visited for Fascial Stretch Therapy. They can do it all! Check them out!!
Went in for Float therapy and a full body Deep Tissue massage. Can honestly say I have never felt better! Best sleep and relaxtion I've ever had!
Your first float at Ninotch
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.
