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 Theta Wellness 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 Theta Wellness Center's own information: filters the full tank 3× between floats, UV sterilization, hydrogen peroxide.

From the reviews
I had an amazing experience at the Theta Spa, where I tried sensory deprivation tank therapy for the first time. The staff was friendly and helpful, and they explained everything I needed to know before I entered the tank. The tank was spacious and clean, and I felt comfortable and safe inside.
It was me and my wife's first time, we booked an hour long session, the staff was super friendly and helpful. The experience was amazing it was interesting feeling getting into the float tub but it was super comfortable once Inside. After our session was over we both felt super relaxed.
Exemplary service! Amber, the owner, is top notch! Love the salt float pool, sauna, private showers, and Jen is an amazing massage therapist! They also sell LMNT electrolytes in the cans and powder mix! Highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing environment to get in that much needed reset or relaxation! The staff and facility are very welcoming and inviting and Matt really put attention into the details and providing the state-of-the-art float tanks and therapy modalities depending on what you are looking for.
Your first float at Theta Wellness 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.
