Hello all,

Is there documentation that addresses the approved use of H2O2 that is contrary to the highlighted paragraph of the EPA statement in the attached document? We have a Pierce County Health Department reviewer brining this item up. Every Float Center we have been to in Washington State uses H2O2 in conjunction with UV/Ozone. They are saying we cannot use it due to the federal EPA statement.

Thoughts?

Regards,

Hello, my wife and I are in the process of the process of opening our float center. You read that correctly, no typo. While we are both experienced business owners, the Float Spa business is new for both of us, but like most Floaties, (Our term for professionals in the business space, and truly enthusiastic serial floaters.) we have come to see the great value in the practice, as well as a great business opportunity in our community. We acknowledge that we are new to this world, and have a great deal to learn. I am posting this as a possible forum for other new business creators to have as a valuable resource, and hopefully and information magnet that we can benefit from ourselves.

We are in the from--scratch portion of our journey. We are currently looking for commercial space that we can do the extensive buildout we know is…

Hi everyone! Jameson and I had a blast at the Float Conference and enjoyed meeting you all! We are so excited to join the community and help support in anyway we can.

If you are interested in receiving an Air Shower, please email me at scott@sumsei.kr

Hello all,

We are currently in the process of opening a float center in Gig Harbor, WA which falls under the permitting jurisdiction of Pierce County. Our current reviewer is giving us a hard time with accessibility requirements to the point of mentioning an open pool with a lift. Clearly for us that is not sensory deprivation. Our review of the ADA items were thorough and specifically 36.406 (b):

https://www.ada.gov/law-and-regs/design-standards/2010-stds/#36406-standards-for-new-construction-and-alterations

§ 36.406 Standards for new construction and alterations.

• (b) Scope of coverage. The 1991 Standards and the 2010 Standards apply to fixed or built-in elements of buildings, structures, site improvements, and pedestrian routes or vehicular ways located on a site. Unless specifically stated otherwise, advisory notes, appendix notes, and figures contained in the 1991 Standards and 2010 Standards explain or illustrate the requirements of the rule; they do not establish enforceable requirements.
  

The reviewer claims that Pierce County does not…

Upon hearing that a few float centers have been sued for not having a clear op-in form with a privacy policy and terms and conditions, I think a roundtable on this subject could be very beneficial for float centers, including my own. Perhaps the board can find people who have a clear understanding of Can Spam laws, privacy policies, etc. and eventually host a discussion on the topic? If we can prevent even just one more float center from getting sued, I would consider that a huge win and a huge help by the FTA!
