Floatation

Here is our list of frequently asked questions, if we are missing a question, you think is important, please email us at info@www.seomrasalainn.com so we can add it to these and make your experience even more relaxing.

Do I need to bring anything with me for my float?

Nope, just yourself. Fresh towels, optional earplugs, body wash, shampoo and conditioner are provided. If you have long hair you might want to bring a hairbrush or hairdryer (Sockets available in the room).

How do we keep our floatation tank clean?

Our float tank solution is sanitised for 30 minutes between floats with a powerful UV filtration system, and a 1-micron bag filter to capture any contaminants or debris and we use food-grade hydrogen peroxide as a disinfectant. Our tank’s interiors and all touch points are sanitised after every float with a Chorine spray. We have a heat recovery system and a UVC CLEAN AIR SYSTEM with a HEPA filter installed in the centre to ensure the air is 99.99% clean.

If I have dyed my hair, can I float?

If you’ve had your hair dyed, you must wait 7 days after it before scheduling your float.

What do I need to do before floating?

Come relaxed and ready to let go. Your time in the tank will be much more beneficial if you arrive ready to relax. Make sure to not drink caffeine at least 6 hours prior to your float to ensure your body can reach a deep state of relaxation. DO NOT shave the day of your float.

How many times do I need to float to see results?

Unlike other therapies, you will feel the benefits from your first session. It must be noted the more often you float the more beneficial it will become. You will need to do 2-3 sessions before you really notice the benefits of flotation for you personally. It takes a few times for your body to adjust to this unique environment.

What do I wear in the tank?

We ask that you wear swimwear.

What if I fall asleep?

If you fall asleep, the water is so buoyant you stay afloat. The 12 inches of water in the float tank is very dense thanks to over 500 kilograms of Epsom salt. It is extremely buoyant and will support your body completely. For your body to turn over in the tank is very difficult, but if it does, the salt in the water would sting your eyes and wake you immediately.

What if I suffer from claustrophobia?

People with claustrophobia consistently report no problems with floating, and our float tank is 7.5ft by 4.5ft so it’s one of the biggest tanks on the market at present. Besides You are always in complete control of the session. You can open the lid at any time and it’s spring mounted so very easily opened even with the touch of a finger. You can keep the light on for the duration of the session and there is a call bell button in the tank if you need assistance.

Is floating well for expectant mums?

Absolutely, a pregnant woman will get even more benefits from floating than others. The extra weight carried by the mother-to-be can be very stressful due to the forces of gravity. Floating eliminates the negative effects of gravity which can cause joint pain, inflammation, and stress on the organs as well as the unborn baby.

I have just got a new tattoo, can I float?

Floating in salt water and fresh tattoos do not mix! Not only could floating with a fresh tattoo be painful but the solution we use in the water may cause fading or discolouration of your tattoo and permanently ruin its aesthetic appeal. Therefore, we insist you do not float until at least 14 days after getting your tattoo.

Do I have to wear earplugs?

Earplugs are provided and are optional, we do highly recommend you use these as they will keep the salt water from getting in your ears and will also help with completely soundproofing your float tank experience. If you have a history of ear issues including infections and are concerned about getting water in your ears, you may want to bring earplugs you trust to protect your ears or use our new neck pillows to keep your ears above the water.

Are there people who shouldn’t float?

Please see our full list of contraindications, which is on our website also.

Can I float if I have my period?

Yes. you can float while menstruating. Just use the appropriate sanitary products (tampons or menstrual cups) it is the same if you were to go swimming while on your period, you must take the same precautions.

What if I can’t swim?

You do not need to be able to swim to use our float tank. Just think of it going to sleep on a waterbed. Just step in and the water will do the rest.

What temperature is the water?

The temperature of the water is kept at 35 degrees Celsius, which is the same temperature as the human body in general. We keep the water set at this temperature as it is known as skin-receptor neutral, which means your body feels no different from being in the water, so it does not react to the new environment allowing you to completely relax.

What is the appropriate clothing for a session?

Delivering natural light to more surface area of your body leads to better light therapy outcomes, we would therefore recommend that you wear a swimsuit to allow your body maximum exposure to the light. A further reason for this is that those areas of the body not exposed directly to the light will not benefit from the therapy.

Yes, it is essential that you drink plenty of water as water is essential for your cellular processes, and your cells will be hard at work after the session. Make sure to drink water and eat properly so your cells have what they need to heal.
