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 Soak Float Center
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 Soak Float Center's own information: down to a 1-micron filter, UV sterilization, ozone, hydrogen peroxide.

From the reviews
I received a gift card for a 90 minute float here. I’ve never done anything like this and let me tell you what. I will definitely be back and will recommend this to my friends and family. Joe from the very start was nice and welcoming. I was instantly at ease when I walked in the door.
AMAZING experience! Love the floats! Super friendly staff! Reasonable process AND they have packages! They have expanded since I first started going - starting off with floats only, but now incorporate sauna and cold plunge. I’ve only ever done the floats as they work for me!
A life changing experience! Aside from the immense benefits of floating, this is a well ran business. The employees are polite and professional, the owner Joe goes above and beyond for his customers. Clean establishment and the best prices I’ve seen for Float centers.
Got a package for Christmas as a gift. Had my first float today. Took me a little bit to get comfortable and into the right head space, but once I did, i didn't even notice how quick it went by. When I heard the music, I was like, no, I don't want to get out..
Your first float at Soak Float Center
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.
