With these three steps, Soulex guarantees that our flotation tubs have the most sanitary water you’ll be floating in!

The water and tub used for your flotation experience are extremely clean. The water is cleaned before and after every floating session in 3 different ways. Even if there is no floating, the system cleans the water automatically. After each use, The drained water goes to a reservoir which filters and sanitizes. And, of course, the tub is cleaned before the next use.

The natural sterilizing agent in the water is pharmaceutical-grade Epsom salts, and when added to the 8-10″ of water it provides that buoyancy that makes flotation so relaxing. This incredibly high concentration of salts is far saltier than the Dead Sea and microorganisms, bacteria or viruses cannot exist in such an inhospitable environment.

Also, the water is UV-sanitized and we use the same sanitizing agents used in swimming pools plus 0.02% hydrogen peroxide; all of which kills viruses, bacteria, and fungus. Finally, each guest is required to shower before entering the flotation tub.

With these three steps, Soulex guarantees that our flotation tubs have the most sanitary water you’ll be floating in!

So come by and float to rest in a clean environment.
