Booking software for Floatation centres
Every pod imposes its filtration cycle between two floats, and a first session needs ten extra minutes of explanation.

The challenges facing floatation centres
The filtration cycle is not free time
Between two floats the water has to run its cycles. A diary that sells the next slot on the hour puts someone into a pod that is not ready.
A first session takes longer than the others
Explanation, shower, apprehension. The same slot for a regular and for a first-timer overruns for one of them.
Two pods, one 7pm slot
Each pod is a place, and the same hour does not sell twice. The book at reception sometimes says otherwise.
Traffic is uneven and memberships smooth it
Full evenings, empty afternoons. A monthly membership turns unpredictable footfall into booked appointments.
The centre runs with nobody on the desk
You are with the client at the start and the end of an hour-long session. In between, nobody picks up.

Practical guide: Floatation centres
- Buffer time after every float, set to the real length of the filtration cycle. It is a technical constraint, not a comfort.
- A "first float" service longer than the others, with its explanation time built in.
- Each pod is a resource: the same hour never gets sold twice.
- Members booked on recurrence: same day, same time, weekly or fortnightly.
- A "floated before?" field: you know before arrival whether to allow the long version.
- A reminder the night before with the instructions — no shaving that day, allow time afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a float session cost?
Around £45 to £70 for a sixty-minute float and £120 to £220 for a course of three, with monthly memberships between £60 and £120. Set your own prices.
What health and safety rules apply to a UK floatation centre?
There is no statute specific to floatation, which is why the general framework does the work. Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations you need a written risk assessment, and the one that matters is legionella: the HSE's approved code of practice L8 and guidance HSG274 apply to any water system, and the Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group publishes the industry standard for float tank water treatment — high salinity does not remove the duty, and inspectors will ask for your testing log. Add COSHH for the chemicals, environmental health registration of the premises with the council, and public liability insurance. In a London borough, a special treatment licence may also apply.
How do I allow for the filtration cycle between sessions?
With buffer time after each float, set to the real cycle length.
Can I have a longer duration for a first session?
Yes, as a separate service.
How do I manage several pods?
By declaring each one as a resource.
Can I offer memberships with a fixed slot?
Yes, with recurring bookings.
