                                The water in our pools is much cleaner than any swimming pool you\u2019ve ever entered.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

                                <\/div><\/div><\/div>

                                We use mechanical filtration for micron particles, UV rays, and ozone generator to keep water at the highest level of cleanliness. And remember that Epsom salt is a natural disinfectant and is present in the water in a huge amount (about 500 kilograms of Epsom salt \/tank).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

                                Filtration<\/h5>

                                The filtration system is very advanced. After each float session, all the water is recirculated several times through double particle filters. The filtration system is able to filter water particles up to 25 microns.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

                                Ozone<\/h5>

                                Ozone, or O3 is comprised of 3 oxygen atoms. It is unstable, thus releasing one of its atoms\u2014which becomes a free radical (an atom with unpaired electrons, which seeks something to bond with). Anything unwanted in the water which this extra oxygen atom comes into contact with is quickly oxidized, and thus purified!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

                                It has been found that ozone is 50 times more powerful then chlorine, while also killing bacteria 3,000 times faster. Ozone eliminates bacteria, mold and yeast, as well as organic material and viruses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

                                Ozone treatment requires no additional chemicals, leaves no odor, and reverts to pure oxygen once oxidation is completed, leaving no trace of it\u2019s presence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

                                UV<\/h5>

                                The sun has an amazing ability to elevate our moods, provide the essential vitamin b 12, and when harnessed correcty, the power of its ultraviolet rays are no exception. Many of earth\u2019s inhabitants, such as us, have an outer covering (skin) which allows us to tolerate a certain amount of the sun\u2019s power; bacteria, viruses and molds, on the other hand, have a very low tolerance for ultraviolet rays.\u00a0<\/p>\n

                                UV works to purify by damaging cellular DNA - when anything undesirable in the tank meets these purifying rays, they are killed. UV treatment protects against viruses, molds and bacterias.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

                                Salt<\/h5>

                                Another mode of disinfection is inherent in our float room in that the concentration of the salt water solution is approximately 25% salt.\u00a0 Salt is an extemerly hostile environment for any living organism.\u00a0 It has been shown in scientific literature that pathogenic microorganism cannot survive in concentrations higher than 10% salt. The types of organisms responsible for water\u2010borne illnesses in humans cannot survive in the high\u2010salt concentration solutions present in our float rooms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

                                Keep in mind<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

                                Waxing\/Shaving<\/strong>
                                It is recommended that you do not shave or wax on the day of your floating session because Epsom salt can irritate the sensitive skin.<\/p>\n

                                \u00a0<\/p>\n

                                Coloured hair<\/strong>
                                If you coloured your hair recently, we recommend that you wait at least a week. For the benefit of your hair color and for the tanks, please wait until the water runs clear when you wash your hair before coming to float. <\/p>\n

                                \u00a0<\/p>\n

                                That time of the month<\/strong>
                                For a relaxing experience we recommend avoiding to float if it\u2019s that time of the month. <\/p>\n

                                \u00a0<\/p>\n

                                Contact lenses<\/strong>
                                You most likely will prefer to float without them, so be sure to bring your case and solution. <\/p>\n

                                \u00a0<\/p>\n

                                Caffeine<\/strong>
                                Don\u2019t get loaded on espresso, or any other caffeinated products, as it tends to keep you super jittery when trying to get your body ready for calm, quiet and relaxation. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

                                We recommend<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

                                Use the provided ear plugs to prevent water getting in your ears.<\/p>\n

                                Use the toilet before entering the float room to enjoy a relaxing, uninterrupted session. If you need to use the toilet, obviously you can get out of the float room and pause the session.<\/p>\n

                                If you get water in your eyes, during the float session, it will sting a bit. Avoid touching your face after you enter the tank, and in any case just use the fresh water pump provided on the side of the tank to clean your eyes. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

                                \u201eI entered the float room with pain around my shoulder and I couldn\u2019t believe that after float the pain was almost gone and I could move my arm with ease.\"<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

                                \u201eOnly post float I realised that I didn\u2019t feel the smells as well as before. After I left SIow I had a revelation \u2026 I could feel smells much stronger then before. I will certainly buy a float package to benefit from the long-term therapeutical effects.\"<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

                                \u201eBeing 6 months pregnant I never imagined that floating could be so pleasant, making me feel light as a feather, and that the saline water will take off the extra weight of the pregnancy. Float therapy must be a regular practice for future moms. It is really super relaxing.\"<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
