Team with 22 Years in Flotation Centre Business Develops Perfect Flotation Tank

LONDON - May 18, 2015 - PRLog -- As hands-on owners of the world’s largest flotation centre and former agents for leading flotation tank brands, Floatworks used its knowledge and experience to design and manufacture the market’s most advanced flotation tank. The i-sopod was created to better meet the needs of individual flotation tank users, as well as business customers looking to purchase tanks for their own flotation centre, health club, spa or gym. The tank has already sold to business customers in 27 countries.

Flotation therapy is based on the principle of Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST) or sensory deprivation therapy. It involves lying in a body-temperature solution of Epsom Salts (magnesium sulphate) in a flotation tank, sometimes also called a float tank or isolation tank. This flotation therapy experience creates a feeling of weightlessness, similar to being in the Dead Sea, which aids deep relaxation and reduces the effects of stress, illness, injury or strenuous exercise.

The i-sopod flotation tank was built after three years’ research and development, and rigorous testing in Floatworks’ own busy flotation centre in London, U.K. The tanks are made using 3D precision robotic computer cutting and hand finished to customers’ specifications. They incorporate the highest quality components, including double-shell fibreglass, marine-grade stainless steel, and heaters, pumps and pipework that meet food industry hygiene standards.

“We developed the i-sopod after noticing the various shortcomings of existing flotation tanks,” explains Tim Strudwick, founder of Floatworks. “We can offer businesses the most useful advice out there on all aspects of flotation tanks because we really have been there, done it – and are still doing it,” he adds.

For users, the i-sopod differs from most other flotation tanks because it provides a much larger flotation area and more overhead space. It is sleekly designed, comfortable, safe, hygienic and fully ventilated. It can be used with the door closed or partially open, according to customer preference, and incorporates anti-vibration features, a choice of LED underwater light shows and an integrated audio system.

For businesses, the i-sopod has a number of major advantages.

Easy to install

It arrives in three parts and can be up and running within a day.

Easy to operate

It has an easy-to-use LCD panel where staff can programme sessions and monitor the tank.

Hard working and economic to run

It is well insulated and has an automatic cleaning, filtering and disinfecting system. This keeps time between sessions to a minimum and helps keep staff costs down.

Good for business

Businesses will cover the purchase cost of the tank and earn a 100 percent return on their investment within the first 12 months, even if the tank is used by an average of just two customers a day at standard rates.

Easy to service, repair and maintain

The filter station, pump and heater system are all external, so servicing and repairs are less costly. General maintenance is very straightforward and similar to that for a whirlpool, bath or spa.

Extremely safe

It uses very little power while in use, just to support the lighting, user attendant call button and computer control processes – all the water is heated beforehand.

Peace of mind

The tank is designed and constructed in accordance with the latest CE & UL guidelines, and comes with a full manufacturer’s warranty, operator instructions and service plan.

The Floatworks team, based in London, U.K., are always happy to answer questions by phone, email or face-to-face, both before and after purchase and for as long as necessary. The company also offers customers free training on all aspects of running a flotation centre, in the real-life setting of its own busy London centre. Floatworks can also provide expert design drawings and even complete flotation centre business plans, refundable on the purchase of the first i-sopod. There is also has a technical helpline, open 12 hours a day (10 a.m. – 10 p.m. British time), seven days a week.
