How it Works
What is a float pool?
A float pool, like that at our Kitchener and Waterloo spa, contains warm water saturated with Epsom salt, allowing guests to float effortlessly on the surface. The experience is designed to create a calm and comfortable environment focused on relaxation and wellness.
How much effort is required to stay afloat?
Very little. The high concentration of Epsom salt in the water allows guests to float naturally without needing to swim or tread water. The float pools at Kitchener and Waterloo’s Azure Aqua Spa are designed so that guests can simply lie back, relax, and enjoy the experience.
How is a float pool different from a sensory deprivation tank?
Unlike a sensory deprivation tank, our Kitchener and Waterloo spa’s float pool is designed to feel more open and spacious. Many guests appreciate being able to enjoy the benefits of floating without being enclosed in a traditional tank environment.
Do people prefer a float pool over an isolation tank?
Many guests appreciate that unlike an isolation tank, our Kitchener and Waterloo spa’s float pool provides a more open environment while still offering the relaxing sensation of effortless floating. This can help create a more comfortable experience for those who prefer additional space during their session.
What are Cinema Float Suites?
The cinema float suites at our Kitchener and Waterloo spa combine the benefits of floating with in-suite entertainment, creating a unique alternative to a traditional float session.
Can couples float together?
Yes! Couples float therapy at Kitchener and Waterloo’s Azure Aqua Spa allows two guests to share the experience together in a private and relaxing environment.
What is Epsom salt?
Epsom salt is a naturally occurring mineral compound made up of magnesium and sulfate. Epsom salt is used for floats at our Kitchener and Waterloo spa because it allows the body to float effortlessly on the surface of the water, creating a comfortable and weightless floating experience.
Are float pools and isolation tanks the same thing?
No. Unlike an isolation tank, our Kitchener and Waterloo spa’s float pool offers a more open floating experience while still providing the relaxing sensation of weightless floating in salt-saturated water.
