HOW IS THE FLOAT TANK KEPT CLEAN?

This Float Fact was originally published in August 2022 and has been lovingly updated to reflect the questions and care we’re hearing from our float community today.

We get it — stepping into a float tank brings up curiosity about cleanliness. You’re immersing your body in water, and you want to know it’s safe, fresh, and cared for.

At Jax-Zen, this isn’t just about meeting standards — it’s about giving your nervous system the space to let go fully. When you trust the water, you can truly relax.

Here’s how we make that possible.

A Thoughtful, Multi-Step Sanitation Process

The float solution goes through a rigorous cleaning cycle before and after every guest. It’s a combination of natural properties, advanced technology, and daily hands-on care:

✔️ Skim & TreatAfter each float, we skim the water’s surface and add a dose of food-grade hydrogen peroxide. This eco-friendly step supports sanitation and oxidation without introducing harsh chemicals.

✔️ Advanced FiltrationNext, the water passes through a 10-micron filter (similar to high-end swimming pools), removing even tiny particles you can’t see.

✔️ UV-C PurificationThe solution then flows through a UV-C germicidal lamp. This eco-conscious technology neutralizes 99.9% of microorganisms by disrupting their DNA — all without leaving harmful residues.

✔️ Full Water CirculationThe tank’s entire volume of water circulates 5–7 times between guests, ensuring you step into a perfectly refreshed, pristine environment.

🧪 Daily Testing & Balancing

Every single day, we check and balance the water to maintain strict chemistry metrics:

• ✅ Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) levels

• ✅ Salinity (the precise concentration of Epsom salt)

• ✅ Temperature (skin-receptor neutral, around 93.5°F)

This daily care ensures the water is always clean, balanced, and ready for your float.

🚿 A Clean Start: Showering Before Your Float

Every guest showers before entering the tank. This quick rinse removes lotions, oils, perfumes, and any other residue, helping us keep the float solution as fresh and balanced as possible for you and everyone who floats after you. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in maintaining the tank’s pristine quality.

🧽 Weekly Deep Cleaning: Hands-On Care

On top of our automated systems and daily checks, our team also performs a manual deep clean of the inside of each tank every week. We wipe down all surfaces, change filters, and inspect every detail to keep things in top condition. This human touch matters — and it’s part of what sets our float environment apart.

🧂 Salt: Nature’s Sanitation Partner

In addition to all of that, the float solution is naturally sanitary thanks to its high concentration of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate). This creates an environment where bacteria and microorganisms simply can’t survive. We also continuously add fresh, filtered water and salt, replacing the entire solution every 10 weeks.

💧 Why It Matters for Your Experience

Cleanliness isn’t just about safety — it’s about helping your body and mind relax deeply.

✅ Peace of mind = deeper relaxation

Knowing the water is meticulously cared for allows your brain to stop scanning for “threats” and instead drop into rest.

✅ No irritation for sensitive skin or lungs

Our process avoids chlorine or bromine, so there are no harsh chemical smells or residues to breathe in.

✅ A fresh, balanced reset

Because your senses aren’t distracted by odors or textures, your nervous system can soften fully into stillness.

A Note from the Heart

We approach water care as an act of hospitality and respect for you. Every detail — from our daily testing to the UV-C light to our hands-on deep cleans — is there to support your safety, comfort, and trust.

When you float with us, you can know: the water is clean, balanced, and held with care. All that’s left for you to do is let go.
