How much Epsom salt is in one float therapy tank, and how does it cause your body to float?

➡️ Each of our flotation tanks has 1,000 pounds of medical-grade Epsom salt.

That’s twenty 50-pound bags of salt! Since we have four float tanks, we have to sit in the sauna and float to recover from the heavy lifting 😂

We get gigantic shipments of Epsom salt that arrive on pallets. We use a shopping cart to gracefully transport the heavy bags from storage into our beautiful spa. If you ever see us pushing a shopping cart full of salt down Wisconsin Ave…no you didn’t! 😘

➡️ Once we add all the salt to the tank, we use a rake to stir the water until it completely dissolves. It takes a couple of hours for all the salt to dissolve so the water becomes silky smooth.

➡️ With that much Epsom salt dissolved into 10-12 inches of water, the water becomes DENSE. It is more dense than your body, which is why you float!

The buoyancy in flotation tanks is similar to (and more powerful than) the water in the Dead Sea.

Floating doesn’t require any effort on your part. You can just lie back in the saltwater and you will naturally float.

Here, you can easily experience weightlessness. You can let go of all your muscles and let your entire body relax. It feels like you’re floating in outer space!

Many of us have taken an Epsom salt bath to relieve muscle soreness. Well, now you know all about the ULTIMATE Epsom salt soak: flotation therapy!

We’ve seen thousands of people fall in love with floating and the benefits that come with it:

• Relieve muscle and joint pain
• Calm your nervous system
• Ease symptoms of anxiety
• Lighten feelings of depression
• Fall asleep faster, with more restful sleep
• Cleanse and exfoliate the skin, hair, and scalp
• Inspire creativity
• Improve accuracy and focus
• Relieve feelings of burnout

We hope you’ll come in and try it for yourself!

If it's your first time floating at Hope Floats, you can get a discount with code FIRSTFLOAT when you book online. We have packages, memberships, and gift certificates available to purchase!
