Check out http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...71.HldpYoPvN5QIt uses a concentrated solution of magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) which needs to be maintained by an accurate thermostat between an extremely narrow temperature range, around 96 degrees Fahrenheit, or the user feels as though they are freezing, or boiling. Pitch blackness, and as quiet and vibration free as possible.Hallucinations occur after a while of floating without any physical sensations, quite possibly because the mind is creating input to replace that which is lacking from the environment, like dreaming while still awake and aware.Apparently a proportion of users lose voluntary control of bladder and bowel functions temporarily, after some hours inside, so some commercial operators require special suits to be worn.A friend tried to talk me into going halves in one, but the cost was prohibitive then, although if you could access bulk MgSO4 cheapish ...Others have tried salt, (like floating in the Dead Sea) with varying degrees of success; any tiny cuts or sores sting, though.

niggles Posted August 12, 2014 I agree it is expensive but I think it is such an interesting and rewarding experience that I like to afford it now and then .. I have plans of owning my own in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watertrade Posted August 12, 2014 Member 'Faustus' here made one many years ago. It wasn't particularly easy from memory. You might be able to dig up some info if you look hard enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolname Posted August 13, 2014 One of my friends bought a tank about a year ago for something like $10,000 and it has been sitting in his car port the whole time because he has no where to set it up. We were thinking about starting up a business with it eventually Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

niggles Posted August 13, 2014 You inspired me, I just got back from floating. It was lovely. I had visions of what my float tank enclosure is going to look like. A cob house dome carved with the flower of life on the outside and the inside. Im wondering how the cob would fare with such a humid environment inside it. Anyone have experience with cob house construction? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
