The Working Principle of the Float Tank
Many customers have shared with us that they feel an unprecedented sense of relaxation after using the isolation tank. The float tank indeed has a significant effect on improving sleep and relieving mental stress. So how exactly does it achieve this?
As a form of physical therapy, the sensory isolation tank differs from medication-based treatment in that it poses almost no harm to your body. Its working principle is to isolate external stimuli, thereby reducing the number of sensory signals the brain receives—ultimately allowing the brain to achieve complete relaxation.
1. Auditory Isolation
To achieve therapeutic effects, the noise level inside a sensory deprivation tank must be kept below 20 decibels (dB), ensuring users are completely free from sound interference. The Yuncong isolation pod features a one-piece molded acrylic body with no gaps on its surface. The space between the tank walls is filled with heat-insulating and soundproof foam, which effectively blocks external noise—allowing you to experience total freedom from sound disturbance during your float session.
2. Visual Isolation
Visual stimulation causes the optic nerve to send electrical signals to the cerebral cortex, so the floating cabin must be completely dark. The Yuncong floating cabin does not allow any light source to penetrate, and LED lights are installed inside the cabin to allow you to enjoy the fun of floating and meet your lighting needs. The LED lights use a variety of color display to make your floating journey more wonderful.
3. Tactile Isolation
The floating water is heated to the surface temperature of the human skin, at which point the skin is no longer stimulated by temperature changes. The Yuncong float tank can be heated to any temperature between 0-50 degrees. At the same time, the titanium heater we use is corrosion-resistant, which makes the float tank have a longer service life.
4. Gravity Isolation
The floating liquid used in the float pod is a saturated salt solution with a specific ratio. Due to its density being higher than that of human tissue, even if the user cannot swim, they can still float completely on the water surface without worrying about choking on water when lying down. When you are immersed in the floating liquid, it feels like you are traveling in the boundless space, and gravity has no effect on you.
Therefore, floating cabin will isolate you from various external stimuli and distractions. You will focus on your inner world, gaining peace and relaxation.
