Water & cleaning at phlōt
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 phlōt's own information: down to a 10-micron filter, UV sterilization, hydrogen peroxide.

“Stepping out of the unit however and back into the "real world" it instantly hit me how truly relaxed my body became (maybe just not my mind).”
“I liked that there were different styles of tanks to choose from so I could pick one that I thought would make me feel most comfortable.”

From the reviews
Wow! Great clean refreshing experience. Would definitely recommend the fire and ice. Will be booking again for their float session.
What a unique place to have in good ol GR. My first experience was great. I went with the smaller orb pod and decided to do no sound or lights and HIGHLY enjoyed that experience. My partner did the larger org pod. It has a unique star gazing feature she used and loved mixed with the calming music.
Always a delightful experience. I’ve been going to phlōt for years, and I’m always impressed by the cleanliness, the futuristic options, and the complete comfort regardless of which experience I’m participating in. I choose total sensory deprivation, but how cool are the lights??
I just visited with my husband for a couples float. I had been here before once but it was his first time coming. We both thought everything was great. I don’t think we really understood that it would be in the same tank so be aware of that specifically on the couples.
Your first float at phlōt
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.
