When you plan to start a new business, calculating costs is a crucial step. Although float centers are becoming increasingly popular around the world and most of them are doing well in business, conducting business beyond your budget is still not a wise choice.

When calculating the costs, you need to consider the following aspects:

(1) Product Price

The purchase cost of a float tank mainly depends on its functions and the purchasing channel.

First, there are many types of float tanks available on the market currently, with significant price differences. These float tanks can be divided into basic models and commercial models. The terminal retail price of a basic model is generally around $17,000. Basic models have relatively few functions, mainly including heating, filtration, UV (ultraviolet) sterilization, ozone sterilization, and other basic functions. They can meet your basic needs for a float tank, but these functions may be insufficient for professional float centers.

Commercial-grade float tanks come with more functions and higher operating efficiency. Typically, commercial float tanks are equipped with water tanks and more efficient disinfection and filtration systems. In addition, driven by continuous product innovation in the market, commercial float tanks have been developed with additional features such as brainwave interference, underwater massage, and sleep report generation. The terminal retail price of a commercial-grade float tank is basically above $35,000.

Do you think the purchase cost of a float tank is relatively high? If so, it may be because you haven’t found a genuine float tank manufacturer. As a source factory, we can provide you with ex-factory prices. Whether it is a basic model or a commercial model, the price is only one-fourth of the terminal retail price.

(2) Operating Costs

Second, you need to consider the daily operating costs. The operating costs of a float tank mainly include the cost of floatation liquid, filter elements, and electricity.

The floatation liquid is not a one-time consumable. When preparing the floatation liquid, we usually use magnesium sulfate heptahydrate crystals with a purity of 99.99%. The higher the purity of the crystals, the more times the prepared floatation liquid can be used. Filter elements usually need to be replaced after one month of use. In addition, the electricity cost needs to be calculated based on the local electricity rates.

As a float tank manufacturer, we can provide you with accessories at cost price for life.

(3) Machine Failure Rate

Finally, you need to consider the machine failure rate. Once a float tank breaks down, the costs incurred—such as maintenance, downtime, and replacement of accessories—may even exceed the initial purchase cost.

Therefore, finding a reliable manufacturer is extremely important. Our float tanks are well-known for their extremely low failure rate.

As a source factory of float tanks, Yuncong (Yun Cong) can solve all your problems, including free delivery of accessories during the warranty period and one-on-one guidance from engineers for fault handling.
