What is an Apollo Open Float Pool or Float Tank?

The Apollo float tank is an Australian sensory deprivation or isolation tank used for floatation therapy. It is designed to provide individuals with a unique and relaxing experience by immersing them in a saltwater-filled tank that allows them to float effortlessly.

Float tanks & pools like the Apollo are typically filled with water and Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) to create a buoyant environment that allows users to float effortlessly on the surface. The water is typically maintained at body temperature, with the light & sound restricted to minimise sensory input, providing a weightless and tranquil experience.

During a float session, users enter the tank, close the lid (if desired) to reduce external stimuli, and float in the saltwater for a designated period, usually around 60-90 minutes. The aim of floatation therapy is to promote relaxation, reduce stress, relieve muscle tension, and enhance mental clarity.

What salt does Float Industries Australia supply and why do you recommend using it?

We offer magnesium sulphate to our Apollo tank owners and sell to other float centres also. When using a float tank or pool, you are absorbing the salt directly into your body, it is crucial to ensure it is chemically pure. To achieve this, we only use and recommend the highest quality magnesium sulphate available. Our product is food-grade, chemically pure Bittersaltz magnesium sulphate, imported from Germany.
