Recommendations for room design and requirements for operations
Room design and setup is crucial in providing an ideal space for floating. You want the room to be welcoming and comfortable but also functional and easy to clean. We’ll cover some specifics needed for the Dreampod itself, as well as some best practices and recommendations.
First off, we designed the Sport to break down into 3 different parts; the base, lid, and back piece. This makes moving it into place much easier. The base is the largest piece and measures8ft. longand2 ft. 3 in. tall.
In order to safely maneuver the base through hallways and around 90° corners you will need a minimum width of4 ft. 2 in.The base will also fit through any standard doorway.
The minimum room size we recommend is11 1⁄2 ft. x 9 1⁄2 ft.and a ceiling height of at least7 ft.This will allow enough space for the pod and engine box as well as enough clearance for the lid of the pod to open completely. We also recommend having a shower for clients in the room. This will be used before and after each float. Lastly, a small seating/changing area as well.
There will need to be a minimum of2 ft.clearance behind the pod. This will allow enough space for all the connections between the pod and engine box to be made.
The engine box will sit directly next to the pod and houses all the important components for filtration and operation of the pod.
Necessary power supply to operate the Sport:
It’s important the room is prepared for the wet and salty environment the pod brings. Remember, there’s over 700 lbs. of Epsom salt inside the pod. It’s also important to ensure the room is as sound proof and light proof as possible.
Here are a few things we highly recommend, considering the harsh nature of the Epsom salt. Keep in mind, the more non-porous surfaces you have the better off you’ll be.
Non-slip flooring: To ensure a safe and healthy environment a seamless non-slip vinyl or rubber floor covering is recommended. In the event tiles are used, take adequate steps to waterproof the sub flooring and use an epoxy grout.
Walls and baseboards: Epoxy paint should be used when painting the room. Also, consider eliminating baseboards and instead having your flooring material continue up the wall a few inches. Lastly, we also recommend the use of fiberglass reinforced panels (FRP) in high traffic areas. Such as around the shower.
Ventilation and room temperature: The room requires some form of a mechanical air circulation system. This will enable a supply of fresh air and remove stagnant air. Typically, a standard HVAC system will suffice and the addition of a standard bathroom exhaust fan is more than enough. If possible, it’s ideal to have control over the temperature of the room directly, rather than rely on the overall temperature control for the business. The ideal room temperature is anywhere between 78 to 82 degrees.
Lighting: Minimal soft lighting is ideal for the room when in use by the client. This will help create a relaxing calm environment. Inversely, bright lighting options are useful when cleaning the room.
Floor drains: If possible, it is ideal to have a floor drain positioned between the shower and the pod. This will make cleaning between clients fast and easy. Another alternative would be to have an open shower design and utilize the drain in the shower.
Water hook up: When it comes time to fill up the Dreampod with water this will be accomplished using a standard garden hose. Periodically, water will also need to be added to the pod. Because of this, we recommend having a dedicated water hook up inside the room. Otherwise, connecting to the nearest water source and having a hose long enough to reach the pod will be needed.
Liability waiver and posted instructions: The proper “float position” is with your feet pointed towards the back wall of the pod. This is a crucial point of safety and should be expressed both verbally to every client, as well as outlined in a written liability waiver signed by each client. This should be mandatory prior to allowing the use of the float tank. We also recommend posting this, along with other instructions for your clients to follow, inside the actual room with the pod.
Post float area: In order to ensure a quick turn around between clients it’s ideal to position the “post float area” away from the actual float room. This area will be where clients can freshen up after a float. Mirrors, blower dryers, and other essential items should be placed in this area and not in the float room.
Pod drainage: The Dreampod is a closed loop system and does not require any external plumbing or drainage to be connected to the pod or the engine box. The system circulates and heats the float solution via the engine box. In the event water needs to be drained, a submersible pump is used.
Dreampod products come with a warranty of ONE (1) YEAR from the time of purchase. Please make sure you have a copy of the receipt and that the floatation device has not been tampered with to qualify for warranty, repairs, and/or exchanges.
