Business & Support

We give you valuable insights into running a successful floatation business, helping get your new floatation facility off to a fast start so you don’t have to learn the hard way. You may have many good ideas yourself – and experience too. However, we have a lot to share from our 30+ years of running centres.

Production times vary depending on our schedule.  The average length of time is 4-6 weeks.

Yes, we ship worldwide through our shipping agent network.

This depends on where you are and how many float rooms you order.

We provide a 12 months comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty.

The layout options in the following link will give you a good idea; however, smaller suites can work very well if space is limited. View Ocean Float Room Layouts

We guide our client’s as part of our service.

Plumbing – The float rooms are self contained and don’t require external plumbing, although we do suggest a drain in the plant area in case of a spill. A shower is required in, or near the suite.  An open shower or a single screen is best to minimize cleaning between clients.

Electrical –  The single float room can draw up to 1500 watts. The double float room can draw up to 1900 watts.

When it comes to installation, we have a team of highly skilled fitters and guarantee you the highest quality service based on years of experience installing hundreds of rooms worldwide, both commercially and privately; the results will delight you.

Typically, a full install and commissioning should take around 3 days.

There are two kinds of maintenance, the float room structure, and the salt solution and filtration.

1. Float Room: The Ocean Float Room is a very durable and reliable product. In a well looked after float room, there is little to replace long term and you are covered by your warrantee to ensure everything is 100% in the beginning.
2. Salt solution and Filtration: The salt solution of a float room is usually changed every 12 months. If a centre is very busy, some clients may change the solution after 9 months, although this is not normally necessary.  After 25 floats or every week (whichever comes first) the filter is cleaned. Water in a properly maintained Float room is more sterile than in a swimming pool or any other spa equipment, not just because of the high concentration of Epsom salts, but because the volume of water is cleaned and filtered 3 to 4 times and also sanitised after every client.

All tests on the water by health departments show completely sterile water.

Costs are closely related to client usage. Although this is variable depending on the costs where you are and how busy you are, electricity, hygiene maintenance, salt top up and yearly salt replacement, averages out at between 2% to 5% of revenue. This does not include centre costs such as towels, shampoo etc.

We’ve been producing float rooms for over 25 years and continue to improve the design in both form and function.  Just as important to us as the look, are qualities of reliability, durability and low running costs for the owner. As an example, the first float room we ever sold provided 21 years of active commercial service before the centre it was in, closed in 2012.  Our current float room models are virtually bullet proof!
