Water & cleaning at Zivel - Newport

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 Zivel - Newport's own information: UV sterilization.

The float-industry standard is turning the entire volume of water over at least three times between sessions through a 1–10 micron filter, paired with UV and/or hydrogen peroxide or ozone. If a center doesn't publish its process, it's fair to ask.

Many floaters stack their session with contrast therapy the same day. Beyond the float tank, Zivel - Newport also offers:

From the reviews

My daughter and I visited Zivel and we had an amazing experience. We really appreciated Shaelyn Kamp explaining everything and helping us along the way. She was the best! I loved the cryotherapy and my daughter really enjoyed the dry floatation therapy! We will be back.

★★★★★ — Taylor, Feb 2026

I’ve had a great experience at Zivel rehabbing from rotator cuff repair surgery. The staff have been super welcoming and the float therapy, sauna, cryotherapy, and compression have been a great adjunct to physical therapy.

★★★★★ — Payson, Feb 2026

The facility is clean and the staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. I thoroughly enjoyed my facial, float, compression and red light therapy sessions. 10/10 experience.

Your first float at Zivel - Newport

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.

Floating isn't for everyone: skip it with epilepsy, kidney disease, uncontrolled heart conditions, open wounds, a contagious condition, or in the first trimester of pregnancy without your doctor's OK. If in doubt, ask the center and check with a physician — this is general information, not medical advice.
