What type of equipment do you have?
We use 7’x7’ custom made float pools filled with 1,500 pounds of Epsom Salt and 350 gallons of water. Using specially engineered filtration systems, the magnesium sulfate solution is filtered through 1-micron filters and sterilized by both the solution and in combination with bromine. Bromine is used rather than chlorine as bromine off gases prior to entering the float suite pool, creating a gentler solution in which our clients will enjoy their float.
Our float pools are specially designed to fit two people comfortably and implement state of the art filtration and heating systems. Azure Aqua Spa is all about hydrotherapy which includes not only floatation therapy but unique Vichy Showers and associated Vichy therapies.
What if I'm claustrophobic?
Don’t worry, our float suites are an open float concept. The float suites are designed as a room specially constructed to provide privacy and solitude without creating an oppressive claustrophobic feeling. It is easy for you to get in and out of the float pool at any time.
Is my float private?
Yes. Each float suite is completely private and has its own shower that you can use before and after your relaxing and rejuvenating session.
Can I float with an ear infection?
We provide earplugs to prevent water from getting into your ears. As a precaution, people with inner ear disorders and perforated eardrums should not float.
Can I float while pregnant?
Yes, flotation therapy allows your body to escape the added weight during pregnancy and take the extra pressure off your spine. It also promotes better sleep and a lovely sense of well being. At the same time, please consult your physician for his opinion.

How do you maintain cleanliness?
Our premium, state of the art float pools are constructed for ease of sanitation and hygiene. The float suite pool is filtered continually between floats and is processed through 1 micron filters. Overnight all pool filtration systems are operating at full capacity to keep the Epsom solution in pristine condition. Our pools are heated to 93.5-96 F which is an inhospitable environment to pathogens. High water alkalinity provides complementary protection against viruses and bacteria. We check water chemistry between each client. High power UV lights generating ozone are also employed to kill air born pathogens. All public surfaces are sanitized after each use with disinfectants. Being monitored by Region of Waterloo Public Health, our operational standards are of a higher standard than other businesses.
How long is a treatment?
All floats are 60 minutes long. If you wish to stay longer, please tell our technician as you arrive that you would like to stay an additional 30 minutes. Should the space be available, we can accommodate you. Additional 30 minutes is $25 per person and $45 for couple regardless of the selected package.

All floats and gift certificates have a one year expiry date from the date of purchase unless indicated otherwise.

Not an issue, each room is equipped with an assistance call button at the pool level. Our technician will assist you immediately.
