"Epsom salt" is actually magnesium sulfate, which is not a corrosive substance. (It's good for your skin and does not cause chemical burns.)

Because water conducts electricity, most wet or submerged electronics will not work properly unless they are sealed and water-tight.

If a circuit board gets wet and is not dried quickly and completely, the water will mix with oxygen in the air and cause oxidation, often resulting in permanent damage to the circuit board.

It might be possible to find a water-tight keyboard and mouse that would work while submerged, but my guess is they would be awkard to use since your arms would naturally float to the surface of the water.

A voice-controlled AI like Siri, Alexa, or whatever would probably be more practical. Until AI assistants improve, you will be limited in the type of work you’re able to do—but that’s always true if you’re in a float tank.

You might be interested in an adjustable height desk, which allows you to alternate between standing and sitting throughout the day.

Or, you could try a treadmill desk. I have one myself and personally recommend it. You wouldn’t want to walk on it all day, but it’s great for 90 minutes or so.

Or, if you wanna keep it weird, you could try a personal infrared sauna:

Good luck brainstorming. If you’re still thinking about a vertical float tank, consider one that has only the bottom half of your body submerged that you would use in a sitting or kneeling position. It would still be more comfortable than a regular chair, and you wouldn’t need to submerge your electronics.

Keep in mind, with any float tank, you’re going to get powdery white epsom salt all over the place whenever you drip after exiting the tank. When desigining your float room, it’s best if you can position the shower right next to the entering/exiting point of the tank.

Go do a vertical float and think it over. There are plenty of challenges, but it’s not impossible.

If you are using a waterbed heater you'll need to use a vinyl liner. What were you planning on for this?

My benchmark for comparison of the equipment performance are the Samadhi-Eco (~$7k) and Zen Tent (~$2k) performance, since these are the most likely candidates for a residential purchase.

Heater:

Samadhi rates the performance of their heating system to “within 1/3 of a degree”. I couldn’t find an accuracy rating for the Zen Tent. A quick internet search pulled up this waterbed heater:

https://www.amazon.com/InnoMax-Thermal-Guardian-Quantum-Waterbed/dp/B00AXT5H4M/ref=as_at/

This is a solid state computer controlled heater accurate to within 1/8 of a degree from the set point. One of the cons here is that it uses an analog dial as opposed to a digital LED read out (like the Zen Tent). Amazon sells this heater for $54.95. Solid State waterbed heaters such as this one (a single heater per tank) were what was used in the early commercial tanks of the 70s and 80s) I used them in my two builds and they were quite satisfactory.


Filtration:

Filters only take out particulate (skin, hair and other small debris that builds up in the tank). They do not disinfect the water.

u/JettaGLi16v (he's a pool and spa guy and knows his stuff) recommended this pump/filter combo:

https://www.amazon.com/Intex-1000-Gallon-Filter-Pump-120-Volt/dp/B005QIYL7E/ref=sr_1_5?

This pump/filter combo is rated to an actual gallons per hour (GPH) of 750 (the pump is rated to 1000GPH, Zen’s new system pump is rated to 1700GPH). A tank that is 4 x 8 by 12” of water is approx 250 gallons. This gives an effective turn over of 3 times per hour of filtration. This is more than sufficient for the average residential user. Amazon sells this item for $35.99 This pump/filter combo lacks the UV disinfectant of the Zen Tent. u/JettaGLi16v has real world experience with this pump installed in a tank that he built a number of years ago. He has some great recommendations for maintenance. As far as the UV lamp is concerned I'm not sure about how that works. Again u/JettaGLi16v might have more info here.

Was thinking of using this for liner, 100

Only thing I really would need help figuring out is to keep co2 levels down, so a vent system, I’m sure I could figure it out maybe some type of good system with pvc with a few 90s to prevent light down the top

It really is valuable, which is why I hope I'm not too addicted to music when I finish my zen tent. So binaural beats have been giving you interesting results? I've always wondered if they leaned toward more pseudo-nonsense or not - maybe I shouldn't pre-judge too quickly. They're easy enough to acquire and try.

PS I got these waterproof earbuds a while back. I can attest to their sound quality - pretty good for $17. I was worried they'd be absolute shite. I'm not the heaviest audiophile but I do hate super crap earbuds so this was a relief.

That's a question that can't easily be answered in a quick comment. I highly recommend this book called "How to Change Your Mind" by Michael Pollan: audible and amazon links. One of my favorite reads so far this year.

u/mcbainsf · 1 pointr/FloatTank

Yes I believe so. You can buy them here, but I would recommend getting a bigger pack.

Your response cleared a few things up!

I was referring to a hydrometer — I just wasn't certain of the name (it measures gravity levels and should read 1.2 - 1.29). Here is further explanation.

Thank you for providing the link to the H2O2 kit, I'll look into that kit!

I use a partially inflated c shaped neck pillow when I float and that keeps my neck from stiffening up. I also use the wax type ear plugs. I never get water in my ears with them.

I have one of these in my shower and it works well. No idea if it would work in your tank though.

I would try a mindfold and some good earplugs or white noise. The Mindfold allows you to open your eyes and still see black, with no pressure on the eyelids. I use mine literally every day.

It's based on his book https://www.amazon.com.au/Float-Tank-Cure-Yourself-Anxiety-ebook/dp/B0137ZQ0CQ Anxiety, stress and pain.

Don't think it will reach the goal anyway, he should have had more options other than $10 or $100 and then basically expensive options for float centre owners. Massive oversight which seems in line with similar oversights of his Zen tent business.

edit: I see he added a $30 one finally, bit too late though I think.
