If you’re considering a float session, one of your first questions might be: How is float therapy water cleaned safely?
At Quantum Clinic in Los Angeles, we use one of the most advanced float tank sanitation processes in the industry—designed to protect your health, preserve the integrity of your float experience, and exceed traditional spa hygiene standards.
Below, we break down exactly how our float tank water is cleaned, sanitized, and maintained to ensure an exceptional level of safety and purity.
Why Float Tanks Require Specialized Cleaning
Each float tank contains up to 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) dissolved in warm water, creating a dense, buoyant solution that supports deep physical and mental relaxation. While this high-salinity environment naturally deters bacterial growth, it doesn’t replace the need for rigorous sanitation.
Every float session introduces trace amounts of body oils, skin cells, and other impurities. Because float tanks are used for full-body immersion, they require specialized cleaning protocols that go far beyond the methods used in pools or standard spas.
The Float Tank Sanitation Process at Quantum Clinic
Quantum Clinic uses Superior Float Tanks’ EPA-rated Peroxone Sanitation System, widely recognized as the most effective float tank sanitation technology available today. This system integrates multiple cutting-edge technologies for comprehensive purification:
1-Micron Filtration
Our float tanks use the custom X-100 filter, capable of capturing particles as small as 1 micron—compliant with FDA Class 1 standards for drinking water. This far exceeds the filtration capacity of standard pool or spa filters, which typically only catch particles 20–30 microns in size.
Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP)
Our sanitation system combines germicidal UV-C light and ozone to generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH)—the most powerful oxidizers known. These radicals effectively destroy:
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Pathogens
- Chlorine – and bromine-resistant microorganisms (e.g., Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia, E. coli)
This method allows for a chemical-free disinfection process that’s both safe and highly effective.
Daily Water Testing & Hygiene Monitoring
To maintain the highest hygiene standards in Los Angeles, our float tanks are engineered with clear flow piping and modular components for real-time inspection and easy maintenance. Combined with our advanced filtration and oxidation system, we also conduct daily water quality checks to ensure each session is clean, safe, and restorative.
Is Float Tank Water Changed After Every Session?
No—but that’s because it doesn’t need to be. Rather than draining the water after every float, we use our high-efficiency, multi-stage sanitation process to fully filter and disinfect the water between each use. Periodic water replacement is performed in accordance with manufacturer guidelines, ensuring cleanliness without unnecessary water waste.
Why Quantum Clinic’s Sanitation System Sets the Standard
Unlike many float centers that use bleach, chlorine, or bromine, Quantum Clinic is committed to a safer, more sustainable approach. Our Peroxone system offers:
-
Superior sanitation—more effective than chlorine or ozone alone
-
No harsh chemicals—gentle on your skin and senses
-
Quieter operation—remote pump placement ensures a peaceful float environment
-
Enhanced safety—high-voltage components are housed outside the float room
This results in a sanitation process that’s not only highly effective but also environmentally conscious and user-centered—setting a new benchmark for float therapy hygiene in Los Angeles.
