The Flo – Buffalo NY Float Center FAQ
Here is a few of our frequently asked questions. If you don’t find what you’re looking for here feel free to call us by going to the contact page or reach out to us on facebook. We are more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.
Do you change the water after each person?
The short answer is no. But that doesn’t mean the water isn’t vigorously filtered after each customer so it’s completely clean for the next. The tanks are equipped with a state of the art filtration system that filters the water at 100 gallons per minute for 10 minutes after each session. There are two 30,000 gallon pool filters with different size micron cartridges, a UV filter, and a OZONE generator that help with the process.
Our tanks are the only tanks commercially rated by the government with a UL and NSF certification. More info on our tanks.

We are regularly offering 90-minute and 60-minute sessions. However, we will entertain longer sessions upon request of up to 4 hours.
