Please read over the helpful tips for what you need to know before your first float at Maine Coast Float.
Floating is best done nude. Wearing swimwear can take away from the experience by causing sensory input when it touches your skin. Each room is private with locked doors and your own personal shower.
Our filters are designed for 20,000 gallons of water, but our tanks only contain up to 450 gallons. The filters use Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) Sanitation Science. When germicidal UV light (UV-C) and ozone react the result is the production of hydroxyl radicals. This reaction is known as the Advanced Oxidation Process, or AOP. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are the most powerful oxidation agents available, quickly destroying bacteria, viruses, pathogens and other contaminants that occur in water. Hydroxyl radicals also destroy chlorine and bromine resistant microorganisms, such as Cryptosporidium Parvum, Giardia and E.Coli. Each tank also has approximately 1100 of epsom salt, so no bacteria can cultivate in this environment.
Floating is a completely natural process so you can float as frequently as you like. Some guests with chronic pain and injuries may float 3 days a week, and some may come once a month to help with stress. It’s all based on your needs and the results you desire. It’s much like a fitness routine, going once won’t have the same effect as going consistently.
No, and you will find that your skin feels smoother after your session – you don’t experience pruning as you would in a regular bath for the same period. Absorbing a large amount of magnesium, thanks to the Epsom salts in the water, is fantastic for your body!
We recommend that you check with your doctor first. Floating is popular with many pregnant women and is safe to enjoy with your doctor’s approval (up to 36 weeks). The zero gravity feel will help relieve pressure on the body for mothers-to-be.
No, even if you do fall asleep, you will be kept afloat thanks to the density of the water.
