The tanks & rooms here
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 Red Lotus Float Spa
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 Red Lotus Float Spa's own information: UV sterilization, hydrogen peroxide.

What floaters say
“Rightly so, as this spa is suuuuper clean, thoughtfully designed, and the infrared sauna followed by a tandem float transported us to another realm!”
“The lady at the front explained everything clearly and made the whole process easy, especially for my first time floating.”
“Upon entering, the lobby exudes a comforting ambiance, and the addition of a tranquil zen room provides a perfect space to unwind before or after your float.”
“He is currently dealing with Stage 4 cancer and in a lot of pain.”
“After taking some time to acclimate & trust that we could float, we succumbed to the salt water, then quickly let go of all the stresses, leaving nothing but peace & calm.”
“The owner was so sweet and they have the best little retail section at the front with crystals, stickers, bath salts and many more items.”
From the reviews
Exceptional float experience at Red Lotus! Having floated at various locations nationwide, I can confidently say that this establishment has perfected their float tanks.
Mary really created a peaceful & unique vibe at red lotus. She was great, as you walk in the atmosphere seems to change around you to very warm, chill, welcoming type of feeling. There is artwork from various artists in the front where you are greeted. Then you are given verbal directions if you are new to floating.
Great experience. Ive been to float spas before. Red lotus is on par with what you would expect. Clean facility, toiletries, tea, relaxation area. Friendly staff. I wish the water was just a tad warmer but it depends on when the tank was filled between sessions. I bought a 5 pack, I will return.
My fiance and I came to Red Lotus by word of mouth. We knew nothing about a float but were told it would be good for him. He is currently dealing with Stage 4 cancer and in a lot of pain. I emailed with some questions and concerns and quickly Marie got back with me. First great impression.
Your first float at Red Lotus Float Spa
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.
