Owning

"For me one of the nicest things about having my own tank is that I can float whenever I want, for as long as I want, and as often as I want. And when I am finished, I don't have to drive anywhere and, because I made the investment, I use it a lot and I think it is one of the best things I ever bought." - Mary C.

Physical Requirements

Where to Put It

The ideal location is a warm, quiet, indoor space. Since you do need to shower before and after floating it is a luxury having the shower in the same room, but having it nearby is fine. You can put the tank in your bedroom, basement, office, studio or ...
A tank can be put outdoors, and indoors is much better if it gets cold where you live.

Plumbing

No plumbing hookup is required. The tank is self- contained. You use a hose to get water to your tank. Once you fill it, you leave it filled and clean it with the attached filtration system after each use. If you need to empty it , you use the drainage fitting that comes with your tank and a hose.

Electrical

Standard building current is sufficient. If your country's voltage is about 115 Volts, then the equipment uses 14 Amps. If your Voltage is about 230 Volts then the equipment requires 7 Amps. You need an outlet with 4 receptacles. Tell us the standard current in your country and we will give you the correct equipment.

Space

Somehow the Samadhi Tank seems to take up very little space, especially for something so big. The tank is approximately 4'x 8' (120cm x 240cm) and requires a space of approximately 5' x11' (I 50cm x 33 5cm). The rectangular shape blends into its surroundings surprisingly invisibly and you can use the space over it for a bed, shelves or a display. If you have a question about your location, ask us and we will help. We have seen some interesting tank placements and are happy to pass on all of our ideas. For exact dimensions see Room Layout .

Concerns:

Humidity

Since the tank is enclosed, it does not make the room humid. It is completely safe to keep a tank in an office, bedroom, or other indoor space.

Odor

The tank imparts no odor to the room it is in.

Weight

Civil engineers have assured us that if the place in which you live or work is safe to live or work in, then having a tank there is safe too.

Getting Out

If you live alone, although you can get one of our options to signal when your float is up, most people quickly learn they can trust their "sensing" to tell them when their preferred time is up. Learning to "sense" improves with floating.

Will I Use It

You know your own habits. Once you build a habit of using your tank you will maintain it, and the results will be worth it. This is how Glenn Perry built his habit:
"I wanted to have a one hour float every day. Less than that, I thought I didn't get where I wanted to be, and I liked to float in the morning. So if I got up too late I would decide that the next day I would really need an hour. If I didn't have that much time, I would put it off again and again until I was out of the habit and not floating at all. I finally decided to use it every day no matter how much time I had, even if it was only a minute.That developed my habit of using it every day." Glenn

Resale Value

There is a good, growing market for used tanks

Features

As far as we know, Samadhi is the only company ever to have the following features:

Lightproof

in bright indirect sunlight, which we think is very important.

No Condensation

on the inside of the top - it is most disconcerting to get dripped on when you float.

Lightweight and Portable

- since it arrives in thin (the thickest panel is 2.5") lightweight panels you can get it down the hall around the corner and into the back room or basement without cutting any holes in a wall. This is important for you, the truck driver, your pocket book and the house.

Samadhi Service

Their service is legendary. They can't help but give excellent service no matter where in the world you are.

Classic Model

This model is simple, straightforward, rugged, very efficient and very reliable. It's the right size and the right color. The inside is soft, comfortable and designed for total relaxation. A classic, space-saving shape, easily moved into any location. Perfect in a public setting, perfect at home. Experienced floaters choose Samadhi. I have floated in most other tanks and notice that I cannot get to the deep floating experience available in a Samadhi Tank.

What You Get

Your tank arrives complete with water filtration system, water temperature control and air circulation systems. You don't need anything else to have your tank work just fine (except salt of course). That doesn't mean you won't want some of our accessories. You can look at accessories .
