FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Orbit Float system empties the solution after every float. This is then filtrated and cleaned for use in the next session. During the changeover, the tanks will, through our unique pump and filtration system, be treated with UV light to sanitise the water. There is also residual Hydrogen Peroxide for supplementary sanitisation and oxidation. Then the tank is automatically skim cleaned and the high content of Epsom salt like the Dead Sea, means nothing harmful can survive in the water.
If you wear contact lenses, bring a lens case. We provide fresh towels, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and wax ear plugs. Please remove all jewelry and turn off mobile devices before floating. After your float, you can use our pamper area to dry your hair and relax with a refreshing drink. Don't forget any personal care items you might need, like a hairbrush or skincare products.
It is very common to drift off into sleep when you are floating. It’s good for you, and helps the body to relax and absorb salts. There is so much good epsom salt in the Orbit tank that your buoyancy won’t change. The worst that could happen is a little salt water on your face.
Yes, you can bring a friend! We have three individual tanks, so you can book sessions at the same time and share your experiences. For larger bookings or more details, email us at info@thefloatcentre.co.uk or call 0141 474 1314.
Complete our online form before your float for a personalized experience. If your hair dye isn't running clear, you've had a fake tan in the last two weeks, or a tattoo/piercing in the last 4-6 weeks, you can't float. Avoid caffeine before your float as it can hinder relaxation. Don't shave before your float as the salts can sting. Stay quiet, relaxed, and turn off mobile phones. Arrive at least 15 minutes early for check-in and preparation.
It depends on the benefits you're seeking. For physical injuries, we'll discuss a session plan with you. With our membership packs, you can float as often as you like. We recommend at least four days between sessions to feel the changes in your mind and body. Regular floating enhances overall benefits, so consider our membership options for the best value.
The answer is yes of course. Floating was made for pregnant women.
Lie back and take that weight off mind and body for a full 60-minutes.
It’s fantastic therapy for the baby and for you!
If you have any health concerns, we would recommend speaking with your doctor first, but the relaxation, lowering of blood pressure and relieving tired limbs is magical for the mum-to-be.
