SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Accurate Temperature Control
-
Accurate temperature control is critical to
the process of deep sensory relaxation. For best results the solution in
the tank must be kept at relaxed skin temperature. This varies slightly
between individuals but is usually 34.5 degrees Celsius. A variation of
as little as half a degree above or below this level will stimulate a perceptible
response in the floater’s nervous system and diminish floating’s beneficial
effects.
-
The Apollotm ELV digital temperature control
circuitry is accurate to 0.1 degrees Celsius. The temperature in the tank
is continually monitored by an ultra-sensitive thermionic probe and displayed
on an LCD screen. Just set the temperature once, then forget all about
it.
-
A 620 watt, 38 volt DC radiant heating system
- another totally unique feature of the Apollotm ELV - is built into the
base of the tank to distribute heat evenly throughout the solution.The
heating system should outlast the life of the tank. A 36-month warranty
is given on the heater.
Total Hygiene Control
-
After every float session the tank’s salt
solution is purified by a powerful filtration unit. This contains a quiet,
high-capacity magnetic-drive pump connected to a 50 square foot, 5 micron
mesh filter cartridge.
-
Organic impurities such as body oil, hair
and other contaminants are filtered out of the solution, keeping it sparkling
and fresh at all times, even in a heavily-used commercial tank.
-
The 25% salt concentration in the solution
acts as a powerful disinfectant, creating a highly sterile environment
which is unfavourable to nearly all forms of bacteria.
-
As an additional measure, bromine is used
as a sanitising agent. Built into the filtration unit is an in-line bromine
dispenser which helps maintain a constant 2-4 PPM of free bromine in the
solution. This has been found to satisfy the most stringent environmental
health requirements.
-
The filtration unit can be operated manually
or automatically from the control unit. A pre-programmed timer automatically
runs the filtration cycle at regular intervals to ensure total hygiene
control.
-
Ultra-violet light sterilisation is also available
upon request.
Convenient Centralised Control System
-
The Apollotm ELV filtration and temperature
control systems are run through a low-voltage remote control unit which
is wall-mounted outside the float room. This allows the professional or
commercial tank operator to monitor and control the tank’s electrical systems
from a remote location, such as a reception area, while preserving the
complete privacy of the float room when the tank is in use.
-
The master control box is a sealed unit, environmentally
protected and connected to an Earth Leakage and Overload Protection system,
guaranteeing the integrity of the equipment and the safety of the user
in the event of power failure or electrical faults.
-
The Apollotm ELV has achieved the high European
CE standard.
Incorporation of Audio and Video Facilities
-
The Apollotm ELV is equipped with dual sound
transducers which are fitted just below the water level adjacent to the
floater’s head. The customer normally supplies their own CD or stereo cassette
player, which is connected to the remote control unit. Headphones can be
used to listen in on the tape being played.Gentle ambient music is generally
used at the beginning of a float session to enhance the relaxation process
and again at the end of a float session - which usually lasts 60 minutes
- to let the floater know that the session is over.
-
Since the deep relaxation of floating is excellent
for developing learning and self-management skills, other types of
instructional, meditational or motivational audiotapes can be used to great
effect in the tank. There are now some very sophisticated audio technologies
on the market and Float Tank Australia can recommend suitable suppliers
or mail order catalogues. A limited selection is directly available from
Float Tank Australia.
-
The Apollotm ELV is also designed to accommodate
in-tank video facilities. This requirement must be specified by the customer
at the time the order is placed, because some modifications to the tank
roof are necessary. A monitor is mounted on a special mounting assembly
which can be built into the roof directly above the floater’s face, at
a convenient angle for maximum viewing comfort.
-
In-tank video is used for the accelerated
learning of sports skills, languages, personal development and habit modification.
Some very sophisticated video technologies such as the SyberVision systems
are now commercially available for golf, tennis, bowling and most other
popular sports. This is known to be a fast, effective and enjoyable way
of enhancing technique and confidence simultaneously.
Easy to install and operate
-
The Apollotm ELV is a free-standing, self-contained
system which requires no external plumbing or water supply.
-
The tank dismantles into two sections, the
largest measuring 2.28 metres (L) x 1.38 metres (W) x 0.65 metres
(H), which can be easily carried by two people to the intended float room
location. Complete assembly and maintenance instructions come with the
tank.
-
Each tank should be located in a private,
quiet room with subdued lighting. We recommend a minimum room size of 3m
x 3m. The room should either contain or have ready access to a shower unit,
which should be used before and after a float session.
-
For operators of professional or commercial
float facilities, we recommend that the remote control unit is wall-mounted
outside the float room to allow the supervisor to monitor and control the
tank’s systems at all times while preserving the total privacy of the customer
during the float session.
-
Likewise, the commercial operator’s CD or
cassette unit and VCR (if used) should be operated from outside the tank
room. Float Tank Australia can advise and assist the operator to set up
a simple time-programmable system which further reduces the time spent
in customer supervision.
-
Please contact Float Tank Australia to discuss
your personal or commercial installation requirements.
