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 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.
A room-sized open pool of salt water. Zero enclosure, easiest for two, most spacious of all.
Water & cleaning at Soleus Massage
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 Soleus Massage's own information: UV sterilization, ozone, hydrogen peroxide.

From the reviews
From start, with Tim to finish, with Caelin I experienced high quality & friendly customer service with all the trimmings! Starting, as a first timer, with float therapy & ending with an amazing ‘Caelin massage’ (that focused on my targeted areas) and a lil salt therapy, infra red sauna in between.
This was a cute spot! It was clean and tranquil, and I was very comfortable. This was my first visit and first time doing a float pool. It was a fun first, not necessarily something I will do often but fun all the same and I would certainly recommend this spot to try!
I did the float tank. It was my first time in a floatation tank. I found the facility very clean with all necessary items in place to make my visit a success. Staff is very nice and also helpful.
I have been going to Soleus for a few years and I am constantly amazed at how good I feel leaving my appointments. I love the atmosphere and being able to walk in and completely relax quickly without having to sit around waiting.
Your first float at Soleus Massage
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.
