Water & cleaning at True REST 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 True REST Float Spa's own information: down to a 5-micron filter, UV sterilization, ozone, hydrogen peroxide.

From the reviews
Yesterday was my first experience with True Rest and any kind of float pod system. I will say this - it’s important to follow the advice / instructions they give you prior to your appointment. I did get sick, which was embarrassing for me.
Extremely peaceful. An amazing experience. You float and it feels as if time stands still. Then you wake up and forget what day it is, better yet what problems were stressing you out. Staff was extremely friendly!!!
If you’re reading this, give it a try. The countless benefits related to epsom salts combined with an hour of being “unplugged” is reason enough to introduce into your health care routine.
Very calming experience. Brought my friend for his first float. Alex was a fantastic float tech, she walked us through everything - she was very friendly and engaging. It's harder or easier depending on your mindset that day, but I always come out feeling relaxed and refreshed. Love it here, thanks Alex!
Your first float at True REST 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.
